So Dave Portnoy blogged yesterday that a Desperate and Unhinged Ohio State Fan Tries To Murder Caitlin Clark, just moments after this video surfaced from the court storming following Ohio State’s storybook upset of #2 Iowa on the biggest stage in college sports. But the thing that Dave and many others across the internet failed to do yesterday was wait for all of the facts to come out. Because if Dave had followed Rule #1 of the Journalism 101 course I teach (It’s not who gets to the story first. It’s who gets the story RIGHT) then he would have seen this alternate angle that tells a completely different story:

After further review, the call on the court has been changed to a FLOP!!!!
Listen, anyone with working eyeballs cannot deny that Caitlin Clark wanted a collision here. I mean, she just lost a hostile game in front of the largest crowd in women’s college basketball of the entire season, and 18,000 Ohio State fans were trying to make up for their inability to win a big football game by over celebrating a regular season women’s basketball game. Caitlin Clark knew the story was that her AP #2 Iowa team just got upset on the road, unless…………
She got “trampled” by a female fan that was running with her phone trying to record the thing…..
…..and then snapped her head back like she was riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas back in November of 1963….
….and then hunching over and claiming that she got the wind knocked out her despite avoiding all contact to the body, except for the contact she initiated with her arms.
Guys, look at her get helped off the court like she’s leaving the battlefield in World War 1:

You’d think she just went 10 rounds with Tyson! But folks, I think while even Stevie Wonder could see that Clark flopped, I’m not convinced she didn’t PUSH the fan herself!
Do I see some extension on those arms while knocking the fan off her course? Has this just gone from a Flop to a Charge?
I’m sure both Caitlin and Dave will be issuing apologies shortly. As well as the Iowa coach that acted like Ohio State basketball court following the game was similar to what our Veterans saw in Vietnam. They’re all wrong, and they all need to make sure the public, and especially Ohio State’s administration and this poor girl that Clark shoved, know that. And that’s Dave’s thing, right? His shoulder would pop out of its socket (again) for how quickly he’d admit he was wrong, if he was wrong. Well folks, anyone with two eyes and two camera angles knows what happened here. At best, Flopping Warning. At worst, foul on Clark.
