We all know if this would have been a male, he would already be off the team

[dwightjoseph]

She manhandled her. This would not be except if she was a man. The girl was so TERRIFIED that she pulled Fire Alarm. SMART

[nickiminaja_-yhmu]

This is absolutely horrific. I know dawn will not stand for this

[Benzy-du]

She should be dropped from the team immediately. That's a bad look for South Carolina. The team is so loaded that it doesn't matter if she plays or not. They're going to smash the competition.

He career may not be over. Let’s not over sensationalize girls being girls in the dorm!!! Wait for details

[St.Maurice]

Her suspension was The "victim" said that Watkins NEVER hit her.

Ashlyn!!! Every decision you make changes the trajectory of your life. You are a Basketball star that’s it. You are not untouchable!!! You are not exempt from the Law. “What was you thinking?”

Assault, battery and kidnapping of a minor. Felony up to 30 years. If it is found that they had a relationship, then possibly domestic and pedo. On video too. imagine how people will react when video is released. I am sure the coach has seen it. Better to deal with this now, during a holiday weekend.

[QuincyHickman]

I wonder if once they sweep this under the rug -- and they will -- if the officers or victim who made the "false charges" will then be held accountable?

Before passing judgement here please understand this about the state of South Carolina and many other southern states. There is a racist law within most southern states called "Hand of One, Hand of All." What does this law entail? “The hand of one is the hand of all” is basically legal slang for accomplice liability.
It’s a phrase that is often misinterpreted by police officers and even attorneys sometimes. Although a police officer might think that “if one goes, all go, ” and “the hand of one is the hand of all” means that you can be arrested because your friend had drugs in their pocket, they are wrong.
In this we will look at the basics of accomplice liability law in SC, including:
• What “the hand of one is the hand of all” really means,
• Examples of accomplice liability, and
• SC cases that define accomplice liability.
Why does this matter here? Well, I am not completely sure, but I have firsthand knowledge of how this could be the case. This could have been two kids misbehaving. Just because this occurred does not means she was kidnapping anyone. Yes, it likely was overly zealous behavior, but I doubt it rises to the level being called for here. This is an indictment against the kid as well as the coaches success. Please wait on the facts before passing your judgment? You have no freaking idea what occurred for sure! Finally get rid of this law because in most cases it is applied wrongly!

It’s so much worse than what it sounded like. 😮

[ReverendBrown.]

So, Dawn Staley cancels a game and trash talks BYU for something that turned out to be a lie. She gonna be consistent and drop this dude from the team immediately??

[Bigballer-rd]

Ashley Watkins suspension has been lifted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[really]

Needs to go to prison for at least 3 years!!!!

[janssenrembert]

First-degree assaults usually involves being shot, seriously stabbed, or beaten with a weapon...

[frangrossman]

I think she made a big mistake- and if any of it is true- even a tiny bit- I know our Coach will not put up with it- very sad- she is a great player and hard to believe she would do this after knowing who she plays for- my predication- she will not play this season-

[bigran_outbound]

The alphabet community isn't gonna like this yogi

[DorthedaHeuer]

Watkins better be off the team and out the door at the University. Watkins committed a felony offense and there is no going back from that!! This girl needs help and the right to play basketball and get paid for going to college just got canceled! 😡 Grow the f-up people!! Your Adults!!

[Ada.Tallie]

What was she thinking 💭 she just threw her hands up and has lost everything 😮 this is so sad 😞

[scottphipps]

She might get suspended for the rest of the year
