16. It was just an example of a recent foul I saw in a game

The game was aired nationally on CBS rather than a local broadcast but it was probably the hardest foul I saw this year in the WNBA.

I'm going back to last year in one of Caitlin's Clark first few games there was a hard foul which I'm sure she wouldn't even make a big deal about it but it was treated as a national story and I remember one of the WNBA on ESPN analysts was on John Stewart saying she couldn't believe that were going to talk about it during sports shows as it was really something you'd see in any game.

I don't watch the vast majority of sports shows on ESPN especially Pat McAfee so I concede the argument on Draymond Green but what I see here is not much different than I would see in a playoff basketball game in the NBA.

I was trying to respond to several arguments in the thread in my earlier post.
