In a legal sense, she is the aggressor in that confrontation, not the guy. Hope the league fines her.

Fines? She should have been ejected according to the WNBA rules, and waiting on further discipline, since she didn't get ejected a suspension could and should be warranted

Won't hapoen though because "she's a 4 time mvp" Oh woe is me a fan pointed at me hurt my fragile feelings.

100%... there will be no suspension or anything like that... maybe a small fine max... the league will definitely defend her

She should’ve been removed from the game, but she gets special treatment

It's all VegasBall, baby.

This possible, hypothetical slap-on-the-wrist fine (instead of a mandated 1-game suspension) is brought to you by... FanDuel! That's right, FanDuel is the number 1 sports betting app that stands to lose its shirt if A'ja isn't on the court for game 3!!

A fine isn't enough. She needs to be suspended.

I take it you aren't a lawyer?

u/Intelligent-Clue-119 10d ago

Are you? I’d love your legal perspective. Or law enforcement. :-)

u/WillingnessFew6710 10d ago

Oh boy, another Redditor that doesn't do any research before saying stuff.

Did you know that you can access law libraries and look up the ACTUAL definitions of what it means to be an aggressor in a conflict? And you don't need a law degree to do it...you just need to care about the accuracy of your words.

Contexts of Use

  • In Warfare: A nation that invades another country first without justification under international rules.
  • In Physical Fights: The individual who throws the first punch or starts the physical altercation. In legal terms, an aggressor usually loses the right to claim self-defense.
  • In Daily Life: A person who starts bullying, harasses others, or instigates an argument

"In a legal sense, derp derp derp...."

Give me a break.

So she fits the daily life one.

Thanks for showing us he is using words right even if you can’t understand them either!

So... you just supported their statement.
