Will WNBA Allow 4 Time MVP to Play Tonight Despite Committing Act that Mandates She Sit Out of Game?

by

Will the WNBA Allow 4 Time MVP to play tonight despite committing an act that Mandates She Sit Out of the game?

On Tuesday night, the WNBA’s 4-time MVP fouled Sophie Cunningham from the Indiana Fever by running her over, but Cunningham was called for the foul.  Then A’ja Wilson ran into the stands and began verbally assaulting a man in the stands.

Here is one depiction of what happened.

During Wilson’s attack on the finger-pointing fan, her teammate Chelsea Gray lost her mind. Grey is the player who started in front of Caitlin Clark at this year’s FIBA World Cup and who cannot run – she is as slow as dirt.

There were 5 people pointing at Wilson after she ran over Cunningham and was given foul shots instead of a foul.

Many fans began reporting on the event and noted that Wilson should have been kicked out of the game and not allowed to play tonight.  This is per WNBA rules.  Jason Whitlock even pointed this out.

Here are the WNBA rules:

Will A’ja Wilson be allowed to play tonight, or will she receive more privileges from the WNBA?

    • A'Ja Whistle Wilson is a bully punk who plays the race card every chance she gets but she is one of the exceptions. Even though most of the blacks in this activist organization masquerading as a professional sports league are lesbians, there are a few who are straight and apparently Wilson is on that short list.

      But she is still an entitled jerk

  7. Does anyone else get the feeling that all of this is staged to gain attention and get people to tune in? Let's be honest people like to watch trainwrecks and well that all the WNBA is!

  12. Shock collars might work to bring back a bit of decorum and would make the game much more interesting. The only thing, they would also need some for the refs as well.

  14. Them types is so sensitive. Like they've been taught since they were in diapers that they're victims. Rich victims, but victims.

    • Super max salary, highest salary in WNBA, 4x MVP, 3x defensive player of the year, 3x Championships, 2x Olympic gold medals, NCAA title, Net worth w/ Endorsements $8 Million.

      CRASH OUT for getting pointed at for a foul from opposing team fan.

  17. Sure they will
    If you aint white
    You got all the rights
    In the WNBA
    not to mention the country at large

  18. A'Ja WIlson lost her mind when Clark sank a 3 point shot which pretty much sealed the win for the Fever. She barreled through Sophie Cunningham and should have been called for that. The fans reacted to the special whistle and she freaked out.

    Chelsea Grey???? OMG – girl you look deranged. Get some anger management counseling already – and you wonder why there are stereotypes??

  21. The foam “Number 1” fingers should do the job. However, since game is being played in Las Vegas, the management may remove said objects from the arena stores.

  22. Agreed. IMHO, why are so many people wasting so much time on something that really means nothing? Are the fans' lives better? Just quit buying tickets and merch, and watching any games that are televised. I've never watched any WNBA (other than X clips, et al); and other than watching some of Jordan in his day, don't watch NBA. And 10 years I quit watching all PRO and most (paid) college sports. When one counts up all of the hours of just the weekly NFL televised games, one just might be amazed. There's a complete other world out there!

  24. For sure they will. It’s all about the money. Also, that drooling female ref will vouch for her and say the elderly white man said things that he didn't.

  31. Its funny I have never followed jungleball, but since Katlin came on the court to challenge these animals that were breed to be racist's, and Katlin and her friends are slapping these clowns down and we all see the violence of the players of color

  32. If it weren't for the hate and drama surrounding this league no one would be watching.
    Because their BB skills suck. Except for Clark, which is why she is a target.

  33. Of course nothing will happen. DuhAJA is the big superstar for the Aces; she cried and whined when Caitlin got a shoe from Nike before they capitulated and gave her one. She walks on water in Vegas and they lap up her slop. Go Fever!

  34. Nobody has looked at the video replay. The refs got the call right. Sophie was impeding Aja because Sophie intentionally had her arm wrapped around Aja's body. However Aja broke the rules on entering the stands but the Commissioner is an incompetent do nothing that is now a lame duck because she announced she is quitting.

    • Unsportsmanlike conduct throwing the opposing player backward to the ground where their head could hit the deck is serious endangerment. Rage 'A shoved Lexie Hull down the same way earlier in the game.

  38. I guess people don't get enough of watching justice do a 180 and transgressions go unpunished in real life, that they pay to go to a WNBA game and see it happen even more.

  39. A'ja Wilson has a learning disability that affects her reading and processing abilities –
    She also suffers from a grandiose sense of worth which results in episodes of dips-ittery
    There’s a surprise!!

  41. The biased announcer needs to apologize to the Fever fans for implying a racist event took place from the Fever fans before any details or video were reviewed and Rage 'A was found to be lying in the press conference about her crash-out.

    LaChina Robinson remarked on-air that it was "unfortunate" and felt like crowd-related incidents had "happened several times here in Indiana"

  42. The best part is that this person is a 4 time MVP and probably has zero fan draw, unlike Caitlin.

  45. The bench basically emptied, 5 to 6 other Aces players also broke the WNBA rules on going into the stands to support the altercation with a fan that should have been immediately ejected from the game.

  47. The league is too afraid to discipline the black players for their outrageous unsportsmanlike behavior.
    Are they afraid of getting beat down like Caitlin, Lexi, and Sophie?

    It took NBA Adam Silver to intervein and force the WNBA commissioner to suspended Alyssa Thomas for just one game for her throat punch on Caitlin Clark.

  49. A'ja… Hilarious….

    And, can we please stop referring to the mentally ill transvestite as she?

    Seriously, that is so last administration….

  50. The rule only requires bench players Brown and Bell to automatically sit out since they left the bench to the scene of the altercation…the star Aja Wilson is not automatically suspended it us a judgement call by the commissioner.

      • Yes…Technical and removed from game then commissioner decides on additional 1 game suspension.
        This is clearly as a Black player recently said of Caitlin Clark
        ” She will never be in the Black queer sisterhood”

  53. every spectator (white people) should point their finger at Black WNBA Players who egregiously foul white players on the court —- should start a chant of some kind that really enrages the black players

  55. Disgusting monkeybitch. These subhumans don't belong in any civilized society, other than filling up the monkey cage at the zoo.

      • Proudly open-eyed about ethnic issues. Very broad experience with these people. Went to school in the projects. Served with them in the Army. Lived in major urban setting. Not a brainwashed snowflake like you. Never got to live in a safe, coddled environment. Calling me names doesn’t hurt my feelings.

        • And you use Nazi language to help you and others see black people as less than human so it makes it easier for you to harm and kill them. Calling you racist is not a "name" it is an accurate description. You are also a horrible person and a horrible Christian.

  57. What will life be like for these out -of-control, entitled sportos when basketball is over and coaches and management can’t align the stars for them? I’m guessing prison.

  58. I don't want to stick up for her but he was the closest one pointing and it was easiest for her to go up the isle to get at him.

  63. Now watch the corrupt refs rig the game with foul/not fouls.
    Freakin Aja person went to the line for 12! points last game while Clark was fouled out in the last 2 min.
    Everything is fake af.

  65. Why didn't the Indiana coach protest? She should have demanded Wilson be removed from the game, or doesn't she or anyone on her staff know the rules?

    • Street Rules are that the Angry Black Lesbians get away with beating up on Caitlin, Sophie, and Lexi.
      The LGBT friendly Refs know it. The LGBT friendly League Mgt knows it. The Fever LGBT Mgt know it.

  69. The WNBA has rules? Who knew?
    Certainly not Aja, the refs, and the Commissioner!

    After this madness…Pointing will be called "violence"?

  71. Lots of visible and audible cheering when Indiana scored in game 1 in Las Vegas.

    Tonight's game should be interesting with lots of POINTING at Rage 'A Wilson's special whistle no-call fouls and all the flopping that the Refs let Las Vegas get away with.

  73. I predict yes. even with the crap show drama, it's still boring. And even when Clark inspires some excitement, she gets beat on. Leadership of the WMBA has no balls (maybe literally).

  74. Of course they will. Rukes for thee but not for me. In the ultra woke WNBA, anyone liberal goon is held to a completely different set of standards than white people. I know some may hate to accept that but the facts don't lie and theyre right in front of our faces.

  75. Hell with women's basketball. What they have done to Caitlin destroyed the league. Will never watch wones basketball again.

  81. I wish CC and Sophie would find another way to make livings. Then watch the ridiculous charity called the "WNBA " fade away.

  82. The whole scene could have been cut from a local McDonalds. What da ya mean I have to pay extra for my bbq sauce!"

  87. I really doubt Wilson will be forced to sit out her next game. The WNBA is a joke when it comes to enforcing the rules. But what do I care? I don't watch ANY of the WNBA games.

    • According to the written rules, both LV players should have been removed from the game and reviewed for possible suspension for Game 3.
      That won't happen because LV is one of the "favored" teams not win it all.

      But if LV was eliminated by the Fever, how many more fans would watch the games moving forward and then the league makes another million dollars because of it.

  89. Wilson's deliberately knocked down Cunningham when had her feet set and was legally blocking Wilson's path. I watched the video three times. Should have been whistled for a charge possibly Flagrant 1. Entering the stands to confront a fan is an automatic violation: ejection, possible fine and possible one game suspension.

    White girl is the other Caitlin Clark. She will not take their $#iitt and is vocal about it. The league and black players hate her guts. The league allows this because people will tune into Fever games hoping to see this kind of garbage.

    Bottom line: no suspension will take place.

    BTW, the guy who was kicked out of the arena for pointing?? He should sue the league, Wilson, the refs, team owner for $200 million.

  92. Since the NBA owns the WNBA, Ron Artest should sue the NBA for sexual discrimination and get his fine back. He was suspended 73 regular season games (approx 90% of season total games) and 13 playoff games. If A'ja Wilson isn't suspended an equivalent amount of games, it is sexual discrimination by the NBA.

    • Oh no!! A VERBAL Assault! No report on the actual basketball game .
      Joe reports on the game Caitlin wins, but TEAMS ARE TIED 1-1 & Joe never reported about the night before when Caitlin Clark's defense failed & 102 points were scored against Indiana
      You would not know it from reading this article, but
      Joe Hoft cares, although it's not about either team or the basketball game.
      Here's the good news!
      After tonight, either Clark or Wilson's season is over.

        • reporting what happened ONLY in the context of what happened to Caitlin Clark & pretending Caitlin Clark is the center of the universe is false inaccurate reporting
          Disappointing from Joe, whose reporting is about important issues I do not wish to see ruined by a guy who knows nothing about basketball except he likes Caitlin Clark
          This is a minor incident happened after the game was already decided, & there was no violence, just 2 people yelling & pointing, Upset over another bad call by an overwhelmed ref
          The Game IS the major story, not the fake mountain Joe makes out of the molehill.
          I compliment Joe Hoft’s reporting much of the time. Not this WNBA BS however.
          It takes away from everything else.

          • Where to start…
            If the violent attack on a defensive player was an occasional occurrence, fine.
            But you, the world, and I know that’s not the case here.
            How many times has Caitlan been brutally attacked, with no foul called?

            In the sports I play, if you get a interference of an opponent…You get the penalty, not your victim!
            The WNBA has no rules, that I can see.
            The whole league is just a joke…A bad joke!

          • I agree with the last line, being the biggest point I’ve already made
            She’s just not Supergirl or even the unparalleled greatest
            I wish her success, a championship someday, and improved defense and shooting percentage, which is what it will take for her to become the #1 player.
            But I’m glad Indiana’s eliminated, cause Jim & Joe write only about her
            Even Caitlin herself denies the narrative, and each small hill gets turned into a mountain.
            We all agree we don’t care, yet we continue to see this BS almost daily.
            Praying this is the last stupid WNBA article

    • "Now, look here, Scarlett. I've given you kisses for breakfast; kisses for lunch and kisses for dinner. Now I hear you eating out."

  96. Get your Sorry A** back on the Court, Loser and play ball instead of making a Jackass out of yourself. What, you think you are the 1st ballplayer men or women that has had to endure some verbal abuse from a fan in the stands?????

    • There was no abuse…In a contentious call where the Aja charged and sent another player flying and the ref gave a foul to the player who got hit…A fan stood up and yelled" That's on you" while pointing at her. He did not leave the area of his seat… Aja then charged him in the stands and went to the 2nd row to yell at him as he was seated in the 3rd row.
      By rule.. a technical foul…thrown out of game…next game ineligible to play.

      • I agree with you except the portion that says she is ineligible to play in the next game. If you read the rule in the article it states the review by the commissioner frequently results in more punishment such as fines and multi-game suspensions. But it doesn't say the next game or multi-game suspensions are mandatory.

      • So be it, on what was said or not said, not the point……..What I’m saying is, if you are a “Professional” athlete and you can’t take a fan mouthing off to you, telling you something regardless of what it is, Well, then you need another line of work……In short, If You Can’t Hack IT????….Pack IT…..

        • This is the best player in the league…A white girl just embarrassed her…scored a first ever Double Double in the first half of a game in WNBA history then in a playoff game..and against her Aja Wilson league MVP every year…then Caitlin Clark set another record highest Double Double in league history in any WNBA game…again in a playoff game against Aja Wilson the person we are told is the face of the league and the best player…So in short ..l agree with what you wrote…and will add the racism and sexism towards a heterosexual white player makes these Black and lesbian players heads explode. I hope many people taunt her from the stands and point and yell at her

    • Look man, she black, he white.
      Mmkay?
      He not allowed to even look at her when she passes by.
      He must cast his gaze downward.

  97. The WNBA continues to be a Satanic Lesbian shit show. Sports is great for normal people. Lesbians are not normal anyway you size it up?

  99. Women are not held to the same standards as men when it comes to social behavior.

    It's sad.
    It's sexist.
    And I'm tired of it.

    • It's the same in surfing.
      Some women take any wave they want, whether it's their wave or not.
      I old, so I call them on it.

  100. Selective enforcement of their own clearly stated rule(s) is an ongoing legal problem for the WNBA / NBA…

  102. She be privileged, yo! Only dat uppy stewpid whyte gurl who think she all dat and a bag of chips git fowled, an we lyke it like dat cuz we be kangs an sheeet.

    Absolutely obvious respect of persons (that’s playing favorites for you in Rio Linda) happening here. If the fans gas about CC they would all point at that entitled witch during the entire game.

  103. Nothing like giving one's sport a colosally bad name through one's idiotic, selfish, uncivilised, degenerate behaviours…..

  104. Of course she will play, she is black, a woman and uncultured, fits right in the WNBA
    Has anyone in the league defined woman yet?

  106. These basetbawl playas are so full of themselves!!!!
    You know who's to blame???
    YOU FANS ARE!!!!!!!!!!! YOU keep pouring money into the "game"……..
    Stop watching them…..
    Stop supporting their behavior by buying tickets or streaming services of the game!!!!!!

  112. That’s a great idea!!! Talk about getting in her head!! And it’s obvious there’s a whole lot of room inside that head!!!

  113. The WNBA is insistent in destroying any credibility they've ever had…. which isn't much.
    The league has lost money every year since their inception, and thinks it's "relevant".
    It's a tax write off for the NBA, and a breeding ground for black on white racism.
    A venue that social justice warriors claim victory, while violence and racism are applauded.

    …. and they wonder why sane people want nothing to do with it.

  116. WNBA Rule 12A, Section V
    l. A player, coach or trainer must be ejected for:
    (4) Deliberately entering the stands other than as a continuance of play

  117. This is all being done as a publicity stunt.
    Causing controversy gets them in the news cycle and attention.
    People like to watch a train wreck.

    • I don’t think so. It’s being done because the people involved have their preferred objects of worship.

  118. Sick of the racism.
    Sick of the assaults.
    Sick of the referees
    Sick of the coaches
    Sick of the owners
    Sick of the commissioner
    Sick of the double standards
    Sick of the hypocrisy
    Sick of the entitlement
    Sick of the angry violent black lesbians

    • Good idea, if everybody in the stands pointed at every bad player and referee during games in unison, that might actually clean up their league. Or they will have to eject every fan. The audience needs to point at the person doing the ejecting, as well. I liked the photo with multiple people pointing, but do need more to so.

  125. They are allowing it because Cunningham is white. Otherwise it would be nearly honest ref calls. The league should be shut down as a failed experiment. Blacks will never treat white people with respect. We need Segregation back, its nothing bad it just allows people to be around people like them instead of being in a jungle in an unfair fight for survival. Desegregation is evil, so bad it had to be enforced with the military, neither side wanted it. Imagine having all white sports leagues. When i was little 80% of football players were white.

  127. This type of childish behavior is why is don't watch or care about what happens to the WNBA. They don't play a sport anymore, it's more like watching a MMA fight.

  128. Why would anyone buy tickets to the black privilege parade? This league has been nothing more than a bad joke since its inception.

  131. Well what else was the guy supposed to do except to sit down?
    As a white man he is certainly NOT allowed to defend himself against a marauding black hesbian.
    He would go to prison and everybody knows it.
    He would have had to accept the dark beat down.

    • One of these times somebody is going to risk the trouble and beat the daylights out of one these basketball americans.

  135. For a moment she thought she was on a carnival cruise. No white man points a finger at me. What a racist thug.

    • Some one of these times an old white guy who doesn't care about life in prison will pound one of these basketball americans to a pulp. All that will be left is a pair of men's underwear and a couple tennis shoes.

    • But it sure is fun coming with new ways to say what they don’t want you to say. The left invents new words all the time.

  139. You cannot wash the ghetto out of some people.
    Look what Obama did to the country.
    Look what Biden did to the country.
    Look what those players are doing to the WNBA.

    • They didn't just wake up one day and think that.
      The govt made darn sure that everybody knew they are on a golden pedestal.

  145. In today's America, in the blue areas, a black chick could haul off and kick a white guy right in the jones and everybody would stand around and laugh.

  146. At its next game, everyone in attendance to watch this circus should stand, yell and point at her. Continue to do it until her coconut explodes.
    BTW, isn't attendance at these LesboMoshPit performances down some 60%???

    • unfortunately, next game is in Las Vegas with her fanbase who will probably cheer her like never before.

  147. If you lived nearby, and you could get some foam fingers made up before the nect home Fever game, you could make a killing selling those fingers

  152. This league is a complete joke already with a scared shitless commissioner who will never ever rule against one of the sistas.

    Remember, the assault by Alyssa Thomas – she should have been suspended. instead, the moron coach of the Fever actually defended AT from those mean comments on the internet after she got away with the assault.

    Remember the nonsense with DeWanna Bonner who decided to stop playing for the Fever and she got traded to the Mercury so she could be reunited with her fiancee the one and only AT.

    Remember the nonsense when DeWanna Bonner decided she no longer wanted to play for the Mercury because she wanted to win so they let her go to the Dream with less than 5 games left in the season.

    How can anybody take this crap seriously???? It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

    Stephanie White, if you're reading this – I hope you get extra therapy today and tomorrow – get ready to be fired because you are the worst coach in the W.

  156. What is the WNBA's reason for not following their rules? Why wasn't Aja Wilson ejected from game 2,;and suspended/fined for game 3? Why,?

  157. At a hockey game, he/she /it would have had a warm beer tossed into her face, a pair of brass knuckles to he/she/it's balls and a great hollering match. These fans need to tool up and train much more!

  158. This one may not have been born a woman but for sure wasn't born walking erect and upright!
    Or even semi-erect!

  160. You think the WNBA will do the honorable thing according to their constitution? Dream on. The powers that be in the WNBA front offices are just as delusional and demented as the thug that committed not one but 2 acts that should have disqualified her from playing. No honor in the WNBA. No gonads in the NBA who continues to throw money to cover these idiots. Hold up your left hand. There are fewer LEGITIMATE basketball players in the WNBA than there are fingers on that hand!!
