WNBA多伦多节奏队主帅布隆德洛因不当言论被禁赛一场WNBA Suspends Toronto Tempo Coach Sandy Brondello Over Inappropriate Comment
女子国家篮球协会（WNBA）于周六宣布，多伦多节奏队主教练桑迪·布隆德洛因在周五对阵亚特兰大梦想队的比赛中发表不当言论，被处以无薪禁赛一场的处罚。在节奏队以92-111不敌梦想队的第四节比赛中，多伦多队球员尼雅拉·萨巴利在防守亚特兰大球星安杰尔·里斯时被判犯规并受伤倒地。在裁判对该判罚进行视频回看期间，现场麦克风录下了布隆德洛向裁判抗议的言论，她称里斯为“受保护物种”。WNBA在声明中强调，联盟期望所有教练和球队人员维护职业操守与尊重的最高标准。布隆德洛随后于周六在社交媒体上发表了公开道歉，她将因此缺席周一节奏队针对拉斯维加斯王牌队的比赛。萨巴利在受伤后无法坚持比赛，布隆德洛在赛后透露其肋部受伤，并对当场比赛的裁判判罚表达了不满。
The WNBA announced on Saturday that Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello has been suspended for one game without pay following an inappropriate comment directed at Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese during Friday's game. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the Tempo's 111-92 loss to the Dream, when Toronto forward Nyara Sabally was called for a personal foul on Reese and suffered a rib injury. During the subsequent official review of the play, microphones picked up an irate Brondello telling referees that Reese is a "protected species." In a statement announcing the suspension, the WNBA emphasized that all coaches and team personnel are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and respect. Brondello posted an apology on social media on Saturday and is set to miss Monday's game against the Las Vegas Aces. Following Friday's defeat, Brondello had also used her postgame press conference to complain about the officiating, arguing that the Dream were the aggressors and received the majority of the foul calls.
01WNBA宣布禁赛处罚与联盟声明WNBA Announces Suspension and League Statement
女子国家篮球协会（WNBA）于周六正式宣布，对多伦多节奏队主教练桑迪·布隆德洛处以无薪禁赛一场的处罚。联盟在官方声明中明确指出，这一处罚决定是针对布隆德洛在周五对阵亚特兰大梦想队的比赛中，对梦想队前锋安杰尔·里斯发表了“不当言论”。WNBA强调，联盟期望所有教练和球队人员都能维护职业操守与尊重的最高标准，并指出这些准则是整个联盟生存和发展的基石。
The WNBA officially announced on Saturday, July 18, that Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello has been suspended for one game without pay. According to the league's formal statement, the disciplinary action was taken in response to Brondello making an "inappropriate comment" directed at Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese during Friday's game. The league emphasized that it expects all coaches and team personnel to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and respect, which are fundamental to the organization.
由于此次无薪禁赛处罚，布隆德洛将无法在场边执教多伦多节奏队周一针对拉斯维加斯王牌队的比赛。联盟通过官方声明重申了对赛场纪律的严厉态度，旨在确保所有参与者在比赛期间保持专业素养。作为多伦多队的首任主教练，布隆德洛必须在周一的比赛中执行这一禁赛决定，而节奏队也必须在没有主帅现场指挥的情况下应对与王牌队的对决。
As a direct result of this suspension, Brondello is scheduled to miss Monday's game against the Las Vegas Aces. The league's statement served as a clear reinforcement of its conduct policies, reminding all team representatives of their responsibility to maintain professional decorum during competition. The first-year Toronto coach will have to serve the unpaid ban immediately, leaving the Tempo to face the Aces without their head coach on the sidelines.
02赛场冲突与“受保护物种”言论细节On-Court Incident and the 'Protected Species' Comment
这起争议事件发生在周五比赛第四节还剩3分16秒时，当时亚特兰大梦想队以98-86领先多伦多节奏队。在梦想队前锋安杰尔·里斯抢下进攻篮板并试图上篮时，节奏队前锋尼雅拉·萨巴利被判个人犯规。这次身体接触导致萨巴利痛苦地倒在地上并紧捂腹部。尽管现场抬出了担架，但萨巴利最终在他人搀扶下走向更衣室，且未能重返赛场。节奏队球员用毛巾围住受伤的萨巴利，而主教练桑迪·布隆德洛则因愤怒而向裁判抗议，要求判罚里斯犯规。
The controversial incident occurred with 3:16 remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's game, with the Atlanta Dream leading the Toronto Tempo 98-86. Toronto forward Nyara Sabally was called for a personal foul after an offensive rebound as Atlanta star Angel Reese went up for a layup. The physical contact sent Sabally to the court in visible pain as she grabbed her midsection. While a stretcher was brought out to the court, Sabally was ultimately able to walk to the locker room with assistance and did not return to the game. As Tempo players surrounded their injured teammate with towels, an irate Sandy Brondello pleaded with the referees to call a foul on Reese.
在裁判对该回合进行视频回看以确定是否存在恶意行为期间，现场麦克风清晰地录下了布隆德洛对裁判的抱怨。她大声说道：“安杰尔，她是个受保护物种。哦，得了吧。你们也同意。这简直是狗屎。”尽管布隆德洛情绪激动地进行了抗议，但裁判在视频回看后认定该动作不属于恶意行为。这一言论随后被赛事转播信号捕捉并公开，直接引发了联盟对布隆德洛的禁赛处罚。
During the official review to determine if a hostile act had occurred, broadcast microphones picked up Brondello's heated exchange with the officials. The Tempo coach was heard saying, "Angel, she's a protected species. Oh, come on. You can agree. It's [expletive]." Despite Brondello's intense protest, the officials concluded after their review that there was no hostile act on the play. The recorded comment quickly circulated, leading directly to the league's disciplinary action.
03赛后裁判争议与布隆德洛的公开道歉Post-Game Officiating Complaints and Brondello's Apology
在周五的比赛结束后，多伦多节奏队主教练桑迪·布隆德洛在赛后新闻发布会上公开表达了对裁判判罚的强烈不满。布隆德洛抱怨称，亚特兰大梦想队是场上的侵略者，无论判罚正确与否，梦想队几乎得到了所有的犯规哨，而节奏队则几乎没有获得什么犯规判罚。此外，布隆德洛在发布会上更新了尼雅拉·萨巴利的伤情，证实萨巴利在这次激烈的身体接触中“伤到了肋部”。
Following Friday's defeat, Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello expressed her strong dissatisfaction with the officiating during her post-game press conference. Brondello complained that the Atlanta Dream were the aggressors on the court and were getting all the fouls, rightly or wrongly, while her own team did not get many foul calls at all. Additionally, the first-year Toronto coach provided an update on Nyara Sabally's condition, stating that the forward had "hurt her ribs" during the hard hit that forced her out of the game.
针对自己在比赛中发表的不当言论，布隆德洛于周六在社交媒体上发表了公开道歉。尽管她对自己的言论表示了歉意，但WNBA联盟依然维持了禁赛处罚，这意味着她将无法现场执教周一节奏队对阵拉斯维加斯王牌队的比赛。此次禁赛也让这位多伦多队的首任主教练为自己在赛场上的过激言行付出了代价。
In the wake of the controversy, Brondello posted an official apology on social media on Saturday to address her inappropriate remarks. Despite her public apology, the WNBA maintained its disciplinary action, meaning the head coach will remain sidelined for Monday's upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Aces as she serves her one-game unpaid suspension.
