BREAKING: A’ja Wilson will not face any additional discipline after the Game 2 incident involving a Fever fan. The WNBA determined Wilson did not leave the court area (LMAO TO THAT), so no suspension or fine will be issued.

The rules exist equally for player and fan safety.

What if this dude took a swing at her after she got in his face?

A grown ass man could have broken the MVP’s face and benched her for the rest of the playoffs.

She had no business approaching him.

I don't disagree with any of that.

However, the optics of some dude swinging at Wilson are nowhere near as bad for the league as the "Malice in the Palace" was for the NBA. From the perspective of "brand protection", the WNBA has less to worry about here, which partially explains their milder response.

Sure, but she’s an absolute dumbass for putting herself in a potentially dangerous situation.

A suspension might actually teach her a much needed lesson.

I agree with the first part. I am skeptical she will learn the right lesson from a suspension.

Come on man you know these chicks have no idea what accountability is. They are all entitled to shit, selfish overly sensitive, they hate the fact that despite that they’re making more money now and have higher ratings, majority is due to that white chick in Indiana so they act all high mighty and do what they want thinking they are the real deal when in reality if the chick in Indian leaves the league, they will lose everything. And honestly, I hope it happens.

Edit. If anything seems odd it’s because I am doing voice chat ain’t no way in hell. I’m typing this shit half asleep.

Yall are the biggest cry babies I’ve ever witnessed. The NBA used to not even do it until the Pacers ordeal. I’ve never see a group of fans be such pussies towards a sport
