So? That alone is certainly not a reason for a T. The team was down and effectively conceding the game. Nothing she did was taunting or disrespectful to anyone. It was a moment to smile at.

For saying some unknown words to a supporter of her own team. If you don't know what was said, this seems really overly officious. Perhaps they were making pizza arrangement for after the game.

That is hardly a travesty...I'm sure the winning team found it at least amusing. A travesty is when a team does something like repeated violating on purpose as if to protest or other such actions...not doing something goofy when the game is essentially over.
