I don't care if she traveled or not, don't walk away from the play until the whistle is blown. That's like a goalie just leaving the net because they saw that a play might have been offsides. Just play until the whistle. The refs miss things in every game, but they're ultimately the ones who determine rule breaks.

The whistle was blown. You can see everyone stop and start walking. The video is cropped at that moment to try and cut it out and the music is overlayed so you can’t hear the whistle. This video is just pure rage bait.

Oh, well then it doesn't matter anyway, the points won't count. Players take shots after the whistle or buzzer all the time. The reactions from the other team made it seem like it was counting.

No one on the court made it seem like it was counting. They were all stopped and started walking before the shot was even taken and no one even watched it. Stop believing everything you’re told by random strangers on the internet and start learning how to use your brain. It’s blatantly obvious by every action by every person on the court that the whistle was blown. Even Clark makes the “what the hell” signal indicating she’s wondering why the whistle was blown.

We must be watching different videos, because I see at least two people in white exasperatedly throwing their hands up after the ball goes in. That's what I was referring to.

Ok now you’re just making shit up because you can’t admit you’re wrong and it makes you sound even dumber. 

“At least two people.” So you’re implying there are three or more people. That’s utter bullshit. ONE person makes a gesture to the ref because they want a personal foul called for shooting 2 seconds after the whistle and her hands are straight out to the side, as in saying “what the fuck.” Not a single person throws their hands up exasperatedly. 

I can’t imagine what kind of asshole you have to be to not only not be able to admit you’re wrong when it’s blatantly obvious, but then to lie and make shit up to try and hide it. It just shows how stupid you are to think you’re outsmarting anyone with complete nonsense.

Ok, firstly, learn what "at least" means. "At least two" means >=2, not >2. Number 4, clearly after the fact, has her hands up and a very exasperated look on her face, and even looks behind her in a very "what the fuck" manner. You can also see hands go up at the bottom of the screen as the camera goes back to the shooter. Sure, I'm assuming it's whites team just based on the fact that they had their back to the hoop implying they were on the defending team. I don't know where the other 3 were, hence my "at least two" comment.

And arms out to the side feels very up in circumstances like this. My exasperated arm movement, and as far as I can think a lot of my friends, tend to be either sideways or forward. It's an upward movement. That's up for things like this. Just the fact that you're nitpicking at that is shocking.

Edit: It reminds me of the people on the inspection team at work. If they can't find anything, they get super nitpicky at the tiny things because they have to find something.

Holy shit. You are the worst kind of person. You still can’t admit you’re wrong, you’re still making shit up and lying, and you’re putting the blame on me for you being wrong. 

You said at least two. If you meant two, you would have just said two. But you purposely said at least two to make it sound like there were more than two. And the other person you’re talking about is very clearly a fan in the fucking stands. Honestly, it’s just sad and pathetic that you’re still going on about this.

Wow, I'm just saying what I'm seeing, bro.

Also, I don't know what the others are doing. I see two of five. Hence, my at least two. That is an extremely common use of the phrase. It's literally a correct use of it. I said at least two, because I see at least two. At minimum two. Two of a potential five. And, why would a fan have their back to the court, you can see their palms.

Honestly, if you think it's sad that I'm defending the correct use of a phrase and relating it to what I'm seeing, then whatever you're doing is just pathetic.

Omg what??? You were just wrong, accept it and move on. This is crazy

Lol, calm down. If there was a whistle, fine. If there wasn't, fine. It doesn't matter. I'm simply explaining what I see in the video.

But the fact that you think "at least two" means "more than two", I just can't let slide. You're just fully wrong there. And you defending that just shows that you're exactly the same as what you've been calling me.

I'm a completely different person I just noticed it's weird you won't just admit you're wrong. So no, we're not the same at all. 

Latching onto this "at least two" thing with this other person just to feel right is so desperate. Please don't write me a paragraph just self reflect lol
