ScreenshotThe Phoenix Mercury’s Alyssa Thomas, the same player caught on multiple camera angles driving her fist/forearm directly into Caitlin Clark’s throat and neck while Clark was on the ground during a loose-ball scramble last week, is now playing the victim card harder than ever.Thomas, suspended for just ONE GAME after the league finally reviewed the dangerous and reckless play (which also included a knee to Clark’s groin area), told reporters she’s “sick and tired” of the narrative and being painted as a thug.Here’s her full victim act:“I’m crazy, you know, the playing the game, being suspended, just the whole narrative that’s being painted out there. It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this over basketball. A lot of us, myself included, didn’t even know the play took place until after, you know, the game. And, you know, now we’re being painted as thugs and there’s death threats out on us. So it’s really unacceptable. It’s something that needs to change in this league. And I’m just really so excited.”One X user perfectly destroyed the victim card with this spot-on takedown of the modern excuse culture:“I remember my gangsta days back in high school and college, growing up in New York City. If I did something to someone, I owned that shit. If I meant it, I stood on it unapologetically. If I didn’t, I’d apologize. No excuses. No fake outrage. No playing innocent. If I was wrong, I was wrong. Nowadays, too many people will do some dirty shit, then the moment they’re called out, they start rewriting the story, dodging accountability, and refuse to take an ounce of personal responsibility. If you’re going to be a bully or act gangsta, at least have the backbone to own that shit. Otherwise, practice being a better fucking human. Accountability will never go out of style. The victim act after the fact just isn’t a good look…”WATCH:I remember my gangsta days back in high school and college, growing up in New York City. If I did something to someone, I owned that shit.

No flagrant was reviewed in real time. Nothing until the league office stepped in after the fact and issued a flagrant foul 2 penalty plus a one-game suspension.Clark left the game in the second half with a back injury.Thomas also took aim at WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, accusing the league of remaining silent while she and her teammates allegedly faced threats following the incident.“We still have yet to hear anything yet from Cathy. It’s no surprise. You can see what’s being said on social media,” Thomas said Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate, but as usual, she remains silent. That’s unfortunate when our lives are being threatened.”After Thomas publicly raised concerns, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert issued a statement condemning hate, harassment, and threats against players while saying the league is working with teams on security measures.“The WNBA vehemently condemns any and all forms of hate,” Engelbert said in the statement.“The safety and well-being of everyone in our community is always the league’s top priority. We are aware of Alyssa Thomas’ comments, and what she and her teammates have experienced is completely unacceptable and not representative of the WNBA community. The league and our security team have been in contact with the Phoenix Mercury organization and remain committed to protecting all players.”The post WNBA’s Alyssa Thomas Complains About Her One-Game Suspension and Being Called a Thug After Driving Her Fist Into Caitlin Clark’s Throat appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
