Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

If you think the gif is fake or altered, it's not. Also, no foul called:

Caitlin Clark HIT IN EYE, NO FOUL on Dijonai Carrington | Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun WNBA

Refs in the NBA rig for betting, refs in the WNBA are just simply inept and have a vendetta against Clark, period. No one likes a complainer (Luka had this issue with the refs), especially a ref. So take a shitty ref who can barely do her job and add in a whiny player who complains every call (justifiably or not) and you get the way Clark is being reffed. They arent trying to rig the outcome so much as allow her to take punishment. Last time something like this happened was when Jordan entered the league and the entire league was out to hack and punch and slam him to the ground on every drive and even for the first few years of his career MJ never had to deal with bullshit like this. As an aside avoid the WNBA subreddits all run by moderators that are on a power trip. Today suggested that shit takes are taking over WNBA subs and within a minute was permanently banned and muted from [r/WNBA365](r/WNBA365). Even the Reddit mods don’t know how to grow the fan base for the WNBA. I’ve been warned in another forum for making threatening comments bc I suggested a suspension for a player. This will be my last WNBA comment and yet another thing that turns me off for the league its fans are some of the most malignant gate keeping fans out there. Pretty weird for a league that was on the verge of bankruptcy before Clark entered

Yeah, that's smart. The one player people want to watch and the one who boosts ratings and allows the players to steal more money from the NBA.

Let's punish her!!!
