The Punch

Brittney Griner is an incredibly gifted athlete. A mountainous exemplar of corporeal strength, Griner represents the awesome, ever-swelling physicality of today's female athlete.
None of which makes her a saint, of course. But neither does a punch thrown in a moment of mental opacity in the heat of athletic competition count her as a shaitan. What she did was unquestionably wrong, and she should be punished in the way typical for her offense (and surely a punch has been thrown in an NCAA game before). And there it should rest.
Much has been said about this incident already, some of it trenchant, so I will add only two further observations. I hope never to find myself on the receiving end of a punch from Griner. And I hope Jordan Barncastle, who must have one heck of a chin, is okay.
