The tantrum gets a new name.
Natasha Cloud’s behavior was unacceptable, but it’s not like she’s the first athlete to lose control of her emotions. The real question is, would she have gotten away with it if she was a younger player? Cloud’s veteran status and reputation should have earned her a pass, but it seems like her emotions got the best of her. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a player destroy property in a fit of rage, and it won’t be the last.
