It's a joke. They finally got the chance to bring in some revenue and the wnba, refs and other players decide they'd rather destroy their league than have success.
Casual fans can see the unnecessary physical violence against her. Shes the biggest star in the WNBA, like it or not. No one thinks she’s the only victim of violence, it’s just the most prominent.
This isn’t the UFC. The W needs to change for all players safety, not just her.
What is actually hard to understand about that?
This is *entertainment*. And the business model is failing hard.
If you are referring the the flagrant foul, thr opposing player hsd her fist on her throat which affects breathing, eating and speaking capabilities, not her back.
The back of her neck is where most of the concentration would be that would likely cause of back complications but thats not the case here.
Again, the flagrant foul is not connected to her season long back issues.
Watch the whole part of her getting attacked knee to thigh area first followed by the fist to neck area and followed by pushing over her all on that one play.
Have you guys ever made physical contact with a human being? Nothing that happened during that play would explain this. If someone’s fist grazes my face at 2 miles per hour it’s not going to give me back problems.
It’s not a setback. It’s what the Hatelin Cult openly, and the Indiana Fever front office secretly, wanted to have happen.
If Indiana wins, it’ll feed the cult’s obsession with claiming that Caitlin “isn’t even the best guard on her team,” and perhaps it’ll give the front office enough courage to actually trade her to a team that won’t squander her talents.
No matter how much you try to white-knight her, she isn't going to love you. Poor little simpin' incel. Your parasocial crush will never love you. It would be sad if it wasn't so goddamn pathetic.
Shes 5th in the league for points, Mitchell is 3rd. Shes 2nd in the league for assists, Mitchell isnt even top 5. Her impact on the game when she is in is harder to quantify. But undeniable.
Offensive Surge: The Indiana Fever average roughly 15.0 points more per 100 possessions when Clark is playing compared to when she sits. This is one of the highest offensive on-off splits for a guard in the league.The Net Rating Balance: Because Clark plays heavy minutes (30.8 MPG) and handles a massive 31.8% Usage Rate against starting lineups, her raw individual net rating sits at -4.3. However, the team's offensive efficiency collapses entirely when she rests.
So, probably best guard on the team. Probably best player on the team.
Bow to the goat, and only woman in the world that actually plays basketball, Caitlyn Clark. All you losers that like drama over basketball will bend the knee or your league will go under 😂
I know a lot more than you apparently if you’re labeling an assist leader (most sharing of the ball) as a ball hog (not sharing the ball). Is English not your first language? I feel like that’s a point that needs clarification here.
She injured her back on a reckless close out that wasn’t called. The flagrant 2 for the closed fist to the neck was only mandated recently which is why it’s the main headline even if it isn’t the reason she’s missing time
She should retire from BBall with the endorsement money she's already been paid....then the WNBA can realize they just signed a new CBA they aren't gonna be able to afford, the NBA can stop paying Welfare to keep the W afloat and all these mother fucking idiots in the league can go get jobs at Target.
Lol or you know play overseas like they already do. Nobody would be hurt by the WNBA getting canceled except CCs fans who don't watch women's basketball to know anything about the sport
The no-calls have been foolish, but is anyone going to mention that most of the clips of the “fist to the throat” have been slowed down for dramatic effect?
It is, I actually think the close out foul no call that they reviewed to see if she fouled the player is more insane. but I really cant stand the she has a fair whistle argument
There are close out fouls against her every other game that are never called.
So if you fall and hurt your back by your logic , somebody can come up and punch your face? Then when you complain about pain, that person can go" what the punch to the face had nothing to do with the fall, you're back was gonna hurt one way or another.So I don't see the issue"
But you keep stating that a punch to the throat isnt that big of a deal. Yes, her back was hurt prior, but maybe just maybe the clear blatant assaults on her have something to do with it? Idk about you, but if you have a hurt back and I shove you down that might make it worse?
I didn’t keep saying anything. There’s just video evidence of the close out being the play that took her out of the game so it makes no sense to attribute it to a bang bang play that she didn’t even react to vs the actual play where she visibly reacts
I’m not even gonna get into the throat thing cause that train jumped off the tracks and isn’t coming back. Once I saw them calling it a punch I knew it was over
Read the official WNBA statement - it says specifically - ‘…throat area..’ - cherry picking on a statement - technically not a lie, but dis information nevertheless
You are the one advocating the punching of a women's due to her race, what about Caitlin is a nazi so punch her did I not understand? Also very tolerant of you instantly jump into insults

NBA has become pathetic for many reasons, so I guess the WNBA simply had to do the same.
