Is Caitlin Clark Being Targeted By Her WNBA Opponents?
Is Caitlin Clark Being Targeted By Her WNBA Opponents?
Here’s The Scoop
Are we witnessing targeted aggression against Caitlin Clark in the WNBA? The debate is heating up after Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter shoulder-checked Clark so hard that it was ruled a “flagrant foul” and went viral.
Indiana Fever GM Lin Dunn didn’t mince words, insisting, “There’s a difference between tough defense and unnecessary—targeting actions! It needs to stop!”
Yet, in a stunning twist, The View’s Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg are singing a different tune.
Goldberg downplayed the incident, stating, “This happens in basketball all the time… just because they’re women, get over yourselves, they’re athletes.” But isn’t there a line between competition and assault?
Hostin, who has previously lamented that Clark’s attention stems from her being “white” and “pretty,” defended the rough play, claiming, “It’s not dainty play… It’s gonna make them better.”
But does targeting really equate to betterment, or is it just a thinly veiled excuse for unacceptable behavior?
Goldberg and Hostin want us to “be realistic,” but maybe it’s time to “clean up” the league, as Dunn suggests. Is this the kind of sportsmanship we should be celebrating? You decide.

I can understandl what is going on here. But the blame is not on her, it is on the media, who has made her, not a rookie but the great white hope. Wish we could have Jackie Robinson back, and he could let her now, how it feels to be picked on on the court and off the court. But he stood up to the challenge so let her do the same thing. She is a great player, and so was Robinson, I think she will be able to handle it, she seems to be able to know what they are doing and why. Let the news leave it alone, and let her play her game. Rookies get picked on all the time.

LET THIS SINK IN!!!
“President Joe Biden’s White House had a frequent high-profile visitor in 2023: Alex Soros, the 38-year-old son of Democratic megadonor and billionaire George Soros.
The younger Soros took at least eight trips to the White House between February and September of last year to hobnob with federal officials, all while he and his 93-year-old father held meetings with Democratic lawmakers and gifted them with millions of dollars in campaign donations, according to White House visitor logs reviewed by the Washington Examiner.”
‘Alex Soros tweeted, “Democrats should refer to Trump as a convicted felon at every opportunity. Repetition is the key to a successful message and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country!”

Why does Soros even care about what happens in the USA?

This attack against Clark was intentional. This attack did not happen during play .players were not going after the ball. Ball was not on the court . Under the conditions of this attack it does not happen all the time . Complete dirty player . Four game suspension at the least.

Envy, jealousy and plain old hatefulness. Only judging her by the color of her skin. Disgusting people. Caitlin rocks. Shame on WNBA for letting this slide by and not disciplining these sickos. They want to injure her cause they are vicious low-life’s.

Mental midgets like Carter are so simple minded they rationalize their thuggery against Clark instead of seeing how she has benefitted the WNBA. If they want a low budget, low integrity league then keep it up. If they want a prosperous league and people to watch them then grow up and act like civilized human beings. Some have never left the ghetto playground.
