In an NCAA basketball game a few days ago Brittney Griner, a freshman from Baylor, was ejected after punching a Texas Tech player in the face. Brittney Griner is a 6'8 freshman who already dominates the court. She is one of the few girls in the NCAA that can dunk easily. The whole game Brittney is getting pushed around because they cant contain her. Finally the Baylor girl who is guarding her hooks her arm and trys to throw her, brittney then retaliates and throws a viscous right hook straight to the nose. Griner is ejected and a foul is called on the Baylor player.
The only reason this fight isnt in the mainstream media is because it happened in a women's basketball game. If this were a mens NCAA team fight this story would have been everywhere. As far as equal punishment goes, i feel that the Baylor girl should have been ejected form the game aswell. When she hooked Griner's arm and went for the throw her intention was to throw her straight to the floor. Im pretty sure that the final punishment for Griner is still undecided but looks like she will be suspended for the season.
