Flop or not?

[50kWidowmaker]

Fortunately, Clark was not seriously hurt, telling reporters that she only got the wind knocked out of her. She also noted that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith already come and apologized to her personally.

"It's kind of scary. It could have caused a pretty scary injury to me. It knocked the wind out of me," Clark said after the game. "(Smith) already came and apologized to me, so I appreciate that. This is what comes with the territory. I'm sure they did their best to do whatever they could. Obviously, it didn't work, and that's disappointing."

Look, I love CC22 and I think the fan should have been looking where they were going. But that was kind of a flop.

Didn't have her feet set. That's a block on Clark.

 

[BioHawk]

I get the joke, but the reality is one of those two people was not supposed to be on the floor in the first place so the rest is irrelevant.

That says, it was a block.

Brutal!

Triggered a deep seated trauma:

Yeah, but I think all athletes are kinda "wired" to react to minimize contact when contact is made.
I'd say her motions were instinctive.

Not great situation.

 

[alaskanseminole]

Kinda like this guy flopping. Watch his arms.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I think athletes are coached to sort of stay still and self evaluate possible injuries when they fall.

The other woman took the hit and bounced right back up. Looks like a flop on CC’s part, and I’m a Caitlin fan. She‘s a Pistol Pete, once in a lifetime talent and wonderful young woman.

I thought I was watching European soccer for a minute. Bad look.

Exactly. "Don't touch the merchandise"

Could you imagine the civil suit if Clark tore an acl or achilles or something 😳

8/10 on the Embiid scale. Good work.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Of course it was a flop, it's just how shes wired but we love her for it too.
That said, if it never would have been brought up post game it would be a non issue today so it's kind of on Iowa for making something out of what should have been nothing.

 

[stillh8unlv]

Agree it was "floppish", but if you watch the legs, she came close to hyper extending her knee a little - certainly could've been terrible, but for what it was, it was floppy

Totally

Reminded me of this

 

[warriors dad]

Like Bluder said they need to make sure athletes can get off the floor safely! How about we just put a stop to rushing the feild or court and we wouldnt have issues like this again! Pro sports seem to be able to handle it well why cant college! The SEC has banned it or your University will pay for it , It is time that this should be everwhere and hire some more security that if you are on the playing surface you get arrested and that would be the real deterrant!

[DooBi]

Yep. Very dramatic fall.

 

[QChawks]

she learned if from LeFlop

 

[BelemNole]

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Seemed floppish as someone said. Maybe anticipated a hard collision.

 

[BubsFinn]

It wasn’t Marcus Smart-level, but yeah, that was a flop.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

She said it knocked the wind out of her, not that she was steamrolled.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

This one was definitely a flop.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

I love CC, but she oversold the hell out of that.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

She said it knocked the wind out of her, not that she was steamrolled.

 

[Derekd3408]

LeBron is jealous.

 

[RicoSuave102954]

Why is that tranny running down the court before the Iowa players have cleared the court?
