Yeah sorry, it's a long season though, there's a good chance she'll get a serious ankle or knee to stick.

Here's a take. Make the refs give CC special treatment... for the good of the sport...
That video wasn't an easy watch. I don't think she was faking anything there.
She's lucky that wasn't more serious.
Playing against bigger, stronger, and faster players is a way to get hurt.
I quit basketball after my freshman year because I was 1.) a year young for my high school class and 2.) not all that big to begin with then and now. I was playing against guys who were just plain bigger than me and a year further in puberty than me. It just wasn't fun being that physically outmatched all the time.
Looks like she tried not to slam into a screen again and hurt herself slowing down. Probably remembering slamming into Stewie.
I just watched it. She weenied out to not get her ass kicked on a screen. She tried to fall down, all no contact, and had a slight twist of an ankle. She returned to the game. BFD.
CC is so good she breaks her own ankles.
Your interpretation and mine are 180° apart. It was easy to watch. Self induced and all non contact. Nothing serious and returns to game. BFD.
You think she intentionally bent her left foot to a >180° angle like that?
Good way to injure all sorts of things in your foot, ankle, and lower leg.
I will say they were definitely right about Clark bringing in tons of new fans.
No, I did not say that. She realized she was about to get her ass kicked, intentionally fell down instead of going over the top or under the screen ( which is normal), and slightly twisted her ankle on the fall. It can't be a serious sprain as she returned. BFD.
Didn't watch the whole game and glad she wasn't hurt. The game didn't go as I had hoped. I wanted her to air-ball a logo three with plenty of time on the clock for the win. Instead she probably cost the fever a good chance at a win by forgetting her dad's advice to "shut up", drawing the T. Who said her college game wouldn't carry over to the pros?
I turned 17 near our last football game my senior year.
I was the only football/basketball letter winner my jr and sr years,.....in the initial MVC.
Excuses are not an excuse, just a crutch. Either you can play, or not.
I am picking on you, just providing the other side.
Yeah, it looked terrible and I'm sure it hurt a lot. She did fake a lot of injuries even just this past season though so you can't blame people for thinking it was fake.
I'll never forget the sound and feeling of when I had a bad ACL tear playing soccer, I'm glad I don't have a video of it.
