| This game is an example of why people still make fun of womens basketball. It's just so freakin' ugly to watch it's painful.

So, you're reporting live from New Orleans--right? You know all that transpired between the two, right?
Of course it matters that White is "just as bad". She started the whole fucking altercation by yapping with an underclassman after getting her weak ass shot blocked. Had she just STFU and moved on to the next play, Riley wouldn't have reacted the way she did. I'm not excusing Riley for her stupid decision-making, but this whole trying to make White into a victim act is sickening. She's as big an idiot as Riley, and anyone in the SEC will tell you that. |
Come on, I know I'm definitely not trying to make White into a victim girl  I can't speak for everyone else, but I know I'm with ya in that White is no saint and was doing some unnecessary jawing. I'm just saying from what I saw on that particular play, Riley physically struck White. I didn't see White with any physical confrontation beforehand so I thought Riley took it too far and should have been T'd up for that shit.
Agreed that both have been ridiculous.

| Riley fouls out after getting her pocket picked by White a few plays ago...26 points but needs to get a little more mature on the court. She is incredibly talented.

| Okay, now I know why Riley acted like she did, the way White was like down the stretch of that game celebrating and what not. I probably would have swung too. I get ya Bballfan.

I really have no dog in this fight. No connection with either team.
White may be a serial killer in her off-court time, for all I know. However, I believe in praising or punishing explicit behaviors, not character styles or reputations. If White was taunting Riley, the refs should have stepped in. Maybe she was and maybe they missed that as they did Riley's assault on White. But you just cannot slap/punch/whatever, no matter how offensive the other person is. To allow otherwise is to give credibility to the claim of spouse abusers, "She made me so mad. It is her fault I hit her!"
To stay away from morality, think how irresponsible Riley was to her team. If she had been seen by an official, she could/should have been ejected. What would her team have done at that time without her? Among other things, it was a reckless, selfish act.
That is all I have to say in the matter.

So, are you saying that punk ass shit was justified. Talking shit is one thing. Slapping a person in the back of the head, when they're looking the other way, is thuggery. Excuse me for being overly sensitive. But, I've seen first hand how that same spiteful punk ass action on a basketball court, put someone in a fuckin' wheelchair. She needs her ass kicked, behind that shit._________________ (¯`v´¯

Yup. In no way am I condoning Riley's act, but I can see why she reacted the way she did--and that has to do with White being a gigantic asshole. White's the typical runty instigator who hangs around the neighborhood bully.

| Unfortunately, Riley throws a cheap shot in almost every game. Anyone who has saw her play in the Big 12 games will verify. This was not an isolated incident - it is a common occurrence for her.

No, I'm saying that the "punk ass shit" was understood given what is known of both players. There are no victims here, hon. Had it gone the other way, my reaction would've been the same. I don't condone what Riley did, but I'm not about to pretend that White was victimized. She'd been pushing around Riley's teammates earlier in the game, and she got caught a few times.
To me, this was like Mabika taking a swing at Elaine Powell. Is there really a victim?

I don't think anybody is calling White a victim. But, Riley hit the girl in the back of the head. THAT'S SOME PUNK ASS SHIT, and a freak accident waiting to happen. Somebody talk shit to me, I'm gonna talk shit back, and drop a couple buckets in their face. But, if you hit me in the back of my head. THE GAME WILL STOP Because, I will stomp your ass into the ground.[/b]_________________ (¯`v´¯
