Clark may be less the savior and more the sacrificial lamb. For as many people who tune in to watch her score points, just as many want to see her get beat to shit. Besides, it's too late now for the league to start cracking down on hostility because Clark hasn't been the only 'victim'. It's rather rampant. If the WNBA takes a hard stance now, it'll only fuel the anti-Clark sentiment and an inevitable belief that the league is softening itself to accommodate Clark and her inability to adapt to pro-level physicality. |

The best thing the league can do is to let clark cook. And embrace her appeal. That doesn’t mean take it easy on her. But the approach of refusing to blow the whistle so players can hack the shit out of her to prove the league is tough is ****ing insane. And the narrative from the players and, worse, the media to convince the public they they should stop giving clark her flowers because she’s white is another level of insane. And we know damn well that’s what’s happening because the media narrative is run by the Jemele hills of the world who got away with this kind of shit before the league was popular, but now they are the dinosaurs who refuse to broaden the appeal of the league. |

Clark is the only reason anyone cares about women's basketball.
There were "stars" before Clark yet no one cared about the WNBA. They finally get someone who breaks the all-time college scoring record, something that no one thought anyone would ever do, who is bringing an incredible amount of popularity to the game and the women in the league are resentful towards Clark. They're biting the hand that's trying to feed them. |

Her teammates allow this to happen. Not a serious sport.

There's been some interesting body language at times in these post-game pressers for the Fever.

![]() The worst foul a rookie has received this season was Angel Reese getting hacked down by her neck and landing hard on the floor. It was so bad the other player got ejected. But ya'll act like everyone is just going after poor old Caitlin even though Aaliyah Boston is always right there ready to scrap for Clark when needed smh. The bottom line is this whole thing has brought great publicity to the league and it's only gonna get better when Paige, Juju and Kaleena Smith enter the league in the years ahead. Asking for the league to "let Clark cook" is utter bs. If she is who ya'll say she is then her "cooking" will come naturally in time. Fullstop. |

Hard fouls happen all the time. Yeah a player like angel reese who plays inside and physical is gonna get hit back. People making excuses for this shit miss that this had NOTHING to do with basketball. It was personal. It was not a basketball play, it was someone going out of her way to throw a cheap shot. Her teammates certainly aren’t scrapping for her. Boston just ****ing stood there and coldly helped her up while angel reese celebrated her teammate like it was the Super Bowl. When clark got a tech vs Seattle Boston got heated but it was to pull clark away, it wasn’t getting into the other teams face. None of her teammates have. I think they all get along but it’s really bad body language when the league is throwing grenades at Caitlin on and off the court and her own teammates act so emotionless. That is especially the case for someone like Boston who is hyped up to be a supposedly great leader. And yeah the league is letting this happen. Angel gets roughed up too. She also shoots almost 10 free throws per game in 10 less minutes despite way less touches, where clark in most games shoots maybe 5. That’s a woman who plays 40 minutes, is face guarded full court the entire team, is a volume player and who goes hard to the basket. That’s why angels foul led to an ejection, while Clark’s was mind numbingly called a common foul which even you know is total horseshit. That’s why Clark’s been T’ed up multiple times but the woman who calls her a bitch then shoulders her doesn’t get jackshit. That shit ain’t normal.

Clark is being targeted but go ahead and gaslight yourself and the WNBA back into irrelevancy.
