I would never argue that they weren't different. I'm arguing that you cannot be upset with one and not the other, IMO, especially when citing class. Clark stopped playing the game in order to disrespect her opponent. That is decidedly not classy.
Your argument is weak also because Clark and her teammates also had 45 minutes (or however long a college game lasts) to win the game and ensure that she was never made to look foolish.
