Mabry’s re-enactment makes me think this might have been premeditated. Karen in hand going down into that claw shape that’s not a normal motion. Also Mabry’s reenactment is very unsportsmanlike behavior that should be disciplined with a suspension. It’s in the WNBA collective bargaining agreement under article XIV player conduct and discipline.
It WAS definitely planned. We know because it happened at the very beginning of the game. Their answer to Caitlin Clark is to foul and maim her. It's not complicated.
This is BY FAR the best commentary on the subject of back-alley barbarism in the WNBA. If changes to make sure the thuggish behavior ends is not initiated, immediately, those of us interested in watching fairplay basketball will boycott the league.
Nobody should be waiting, they should be showing the league what it would be like NOW! The league only look at this like it's just talk, empty threats. Like I said the fans need to be united and put this league in its place. Let them all go back to riding buses to the next game they play with empty seats in the stadium. I won't hold my breath waiting for fans to grow a pair.
If I'm Caitlan I'm out of there. It's bad enough they get away with flagrant fouls and football tactics but to go after someones eyesight and nothing is done would let me know it's time to go. I'll go overseas or call Ice Cube. You can recover from bumps and bruises but last I checked you can't get another eye. Then I'd watch as the WNBA dropped back into obscurity where they belong.
What's the difference betw a poke and a stab. A poke is when the tip of the knife it in this case nail touches the item quickly and retracts. A stab is when the item is thrust forcefully and then retracted. THIS WAS A STAB IN THE EYE! That B could have done some serious harm to Caitlin for the rest of her life! She should be tossed out of the finals, PERIOD. carrington PLANNED THIS, THAT WAS A STRAIGHT UP THUG MOVE!

Carrington's obvious intentional gouging of Clark's eye was way beyond "dangerous," it was vicious and vile. Dangerous is gluing sharp pointed tips on the ends of your fingers and then engaging in a contact sport. Carrington elevated that danger to a vicious and vile level.
Thank you for stating the facts so eloquently👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 starting with the commissioner who does nothing but stoke the hate against CC with silence & no action.

I'm Canadian. I'm an NHL fan. I've never watched or followed basketball let alone women's basketball. I'm watching the WNBA because of Caitlan. Even hockey has rules, penalties, and fines centered around 'intent to injure'. Does the WNBA have and need something similar?

WNBA needs to ban long nails, they need to be trimmed flush to the fingertip. Looking at the movement of the arm and wrist in the eyepoke, it was totally unnatural. She had to point her fingers, flex her wrist into a contorted position and push her arm down and forward right toward Clark's eye. Even more suspicious is how she acted like she had no idea she did it. if you eyepoke someone you feel yourself doing it. Fingertips have the most sensation nerves of anywhere on your body. I have done it accidentally a couple times and felt it immediately. The way she answered the question when asked if the poke was intentional was a classic deflection as well. Innocent people answer "It was an accident" but she went to "why would I do that to her". That is a classic tell for lying. Lastly you have them laughing about the eye poke and even gesturing the eye poke. It's ridiculous how much abuse they are allowing Clark to endure. Before this, she had 17% of the TOTAL flagrant fouls against her for the entire WNBA.
In football, an intentional helmet-to-helmet tackle will get you tossed out of the game, eye pokes in basketball and other serious infractions should get them tossed out of the game.

Oh they had a party after the eye poke on the bench. A sorry state of affairs in the WNBA. The NBA just needs to quit supporting this league or take direct control and force Suns to sell the team.
I believe Carrington's attack on Caitlin was premeditated. I think law enforcement should be called in to investigate the crime. They should get a warrant for Carrington's phone, laptop, PC and/or tablet to look though Carrington's messages, texts, DMs and social media posts to determine if she spoke about doing something like she did, especially prior to the actual attack. While they're at it they should also get a warrant for Marina Mabry's electronics. The WNBA ought to demand a police investigation because Carrington's actions could have, and might still end Caitlin Clark's career. I also think Carrington and anyone who intentionally tries to harm another player should be banned forever from playing in the WNBA. But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

@KSReferee Carrington, at minimum, should have gotten a flagrant foul, and the league should have suspended her for the next game. This league is a joke, and it starts with these sorry refs.
Caitlin Clark should leave . The players don't give a shit about her,even her team members are too busy sleeping with the enemy. What a JOKE . If she did, it would revert to nothing. Hey, I didn't know there was a female team until this year. I'm not the only one. Stay safe, Caitlin. Neil ❤
The WNBA isn't going to do anything about it. Cathy Engelhardt's way of taking care of it is to as Di'jonae if she intended it. Of course she's going to say no. How stupid does she believe we are. Then Caitlin was questioned and she of course said it was only basketball. What is she going to say? She's already a target. No wonder thw WNBA is trash. The leaders are as well.

Carrington told the media that she had no idea it happened until after the game. So yea, she is a liar, and with the leaked tweets makes it a Hate Crime.
At this point I blame the NBA, because they sugar-daddy the whole thing and take no action when wicked things happen. They need to flush the whole nasty toilet, turn on the fan, and spray the deodorizer until the can is empty.
Should be a nail length rule for players those fake acrylic nails are like a weapon. It needs to be at least considered by league for next year. Safety for everyone.
The WNBA will see just how irrelevant they are as soon as Caitlin is eliminated from the playoffs, everybody tunes them out and their television ratings go down the toilet. 🤔
What a joke of the league...it is like a prison league from some bad movie, where the most ugly ones harass those who wont to be better, and like there, same here, guards are doing nothing.
Could it be that Carrington said to her teammates prior to the start of the game ,"I'm going to poke her eyes out,"referring to Clark. Mayberry mimiced the poke because she knew Carrington said she would do it and laughing about it as well. Looks fishy to me !!!

Again, your assessment of this situation was spot on! I'm a new fan to the WNBA because of the greatness of Clark and I started watching at the beginning of the season with such optimism that I was going to see good basketball but what I'm seen is the targeting of one individual that occurs from game to game in city to city! I even e-mailed Cathy Engelbert regarding the fact that after this season, I'm done with the league! The WNBA is filled with jealousy and hatred of which there is enough of in society at large, therefore I don't want to see it in the WNBA also and to that I say, goodbye WNBA, you had your chance, and you blew it!
There was a fingernail gouge mark about 1/4 inch from her eyeball. CC needs to start wearing goggles the way Kareem did to protect his eyes. At least when she is playing the Sun and Carrington. That should be goggle night for CC.
Saw a video of her earlier talking to the press, with close-ups of her face- there was a distinct red fingernail gouge mark on her lower right eyelid. Carrington just missed her target, which is the only reason she isn't blinded or out with a serious eye injury.
Carrington the Lesbian entitlement who think she can attack other players and WNBA league has issues big time with absolute lack of respectful sportsmanship displayed.
I lost a ton of respect for Mabrey by watching this video. Once Caitlin's season is over, I hope to never have the desire to watch a WNBA game ever again.
I’ve been saying exactly the same bullets for two days as has hundreds of other fans. Carrington needs to be removed immediately. League ending look and the commissioner is fiddling while Rome burns?
PERFECT Comment by @irishphilly: As former Cosmetology School trainer & Self-defense Instructor---Anyone who doesn't know Girly Things like nails?? Trust us when we say, acrylic nails are no joke. Those aren't date night temps. Those are serious bake-on acrylics & can be filed to talon sharp weapon level, reinforced w layers of polish. AND? Sharp edged Bling jewels Options. Hair is another danger--never mind. In Self Defense, a basic technique always taught is Eye Strike. Cupping the hand to direct force helps deliver force, protects fingers from getting jammed. Add acrylic nails to a jab? It can just be 1 finger or 2-3 strike eye + orbit? Could cause blindness, lost eye, or impact to seizure +/or brain damage. Also, danger of heart going to a-fib or shock. People die from traumas to the throat or upper body that look like nothing, but at just that freak point in a body's electric cycle = DOA. W is idiotic being so reckless & negligent. The athletes are just toys to them. Dispose + replace. Oh, well, sure: Thoughts and Prayers. NEXT in line.
1. Dijonai Carrington deliberate eye gouging should be suspended and FINED for the play-off and pending termination from the WNBA!!! 2. Marina Mabry should be suspended and FINED for her actions from the play-off and she should be considered for additional suspension at the beginning of the 2025 season! 3. The Sun coach should be fined for FAILURE reprimanding her 2 players! 4. Engleberg NEEDS to step down as commissioner for her FAILURE to managed the WNBA and provide a non-hostile work environment for its players, let someone better govern the WNBA! 5. Suspend all the referees of the Fever Sun game and send out a warning to all referees to GET THE DAMN ACT TOGETHER!!

It really doesn't matter where the order came from, barbie #2 could have done the right thing and refuse to try and cripple someone, and deshields and carter are also in this disgusting agenda ... but I wonder to who is doing this ordering to the commissioner, you are correct about who is giving the order to do whatever they are doing ... reggie miller said all this physicality comes with the territory, then if so, he should take it upon himself and make a video compilation of all the flagrant sh*t that has happened in the past, and see if anyone was continuously targeted like CC (well exception of Lambeer/Bird or course) ... but reggie miller is another one of the barbie lovers ...
i would say a few players 100% had this planned beforehand - carrington needs suspending. maybrey needs to be fined. - they BOTH have brought the league into disrepute
Mabury never thought she got caught on camera. Hand gesture of the eye poke in view with joy.
Her silences is consent. It’s clear the hate and violence is acceptable against Clark. I’m praying Clark goes overseas. Stick it WNBA
Looked planned to me. Investigate! Dirty disgusting players!

I believe Carrington's attack on Caitlin was premeditated. I think law enforcement should be called in to investigate the crime. They should get a warrant for Carrington's phone, laptop, PC and/or tablet to look though Carrington's messages, texts, DMs and social media posts to determine if she spoke about doing something like she did, especially prior to the actual attack. While they're at it they should also get a warrant for Marina Mabry's electronics. The WNBA ought to demand a police investigation because Carrington's actions could have, and might still end Caitlin Clark's career. I also think Carrington and anyone who intentionally tries to harm another player should be banned forever from playing in the WNBA.
But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.
I swear, you people are worse than QANON. Mabrey made the Melo 3 hand gesture after a three-point shot during the third quarter. The eye poke was during the first few minutes of the game. This is purposely being misconstrued. Go watch the actual game instead of repeating something stupid you heard on the internet. You sound absolutely foolish.
*Google “Carmelo 3 to the dome” and actually learn something.
Mabrey's index finger (at the top) is bent inward toward her palm. The gesture is also pointed toward the temple. Add in the timing of it being after a 3-point shot in the third quarter, this was most definitely the Melo 3. Any other take is purposefully disingenuous.
Also, it would be easy to see across the court. I mean, this isn't the length of a football field. She's in the front freaking row. Doesn't matter anyway because this wasn't a re-enactment.
This video is a lie. Mabrey did not re-enact an eye poke. It was "Carmelo 3 to the Dome".
@KSReferee Carrington, at minimum, should have gotten a flagrant foul, and the league should have suspended her for the next game. This league is a joke, and it starts with these sorry refs.
So disappointed in Mabry! I liked her game play, but not anymore. For her to think eye gouging anyone as funny is disgusting.
But, get ready for them to cry all the isms about being criticized on social media.
Suspended for a game is laughable -- how many games would CC miss if Carrington succeeded? Answer: all of them, forever.
As soon as the fever gets eliminated I will not be watching
Great analysis......thank you for telling the truth......
Caitlin Clark should leave . The players don't give a shit about her,even her team members are too busy sleeping with the enemy. What a JOKE . If she did, it would revert to nothing. Hey, I didn't know there was a female team until this year.
I'm not the only one. Stay safe, Caitlin. Neil ❤
What a shame bunch of thug basketball players
Busted, but the Wnba commissioner won't do a thing. Needs to be fired
It's always the one who abides by the rules that gets the raw deal 🙄
Look like Mabry took what she learn from Carter to the Sun. 😂😂😂
The league had better get a handle on this or they're going to be a bigger failure than before.
The WNBA isn't going to do anything about it. Cathy Engelhardt's way of taking care of it is to as Di'jonae if she intended it. Of course she's going to say no. How stupid does she believe we are. Then Caitlin was questioned and she of course said it was only basketball. What is she going to say? She's already a target. No wonder thw WNBA is trash. The leaders are as well.
The WNBA is embarrassing in so many ways.
Mabry has that Chicago "thug"Sky mentality. Cryington does too. They should be on a street ball team.

This is not a professional league anymore. This is some ghetto bush league.
Had no idea WNBA was such a bush league, but now we know
Absolutely on point sir. Great speech. I am getting tired of this mockery of a league.
If Catline is attacked again tonight I'm done. So WNBA & ESPN I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, so get ready for loss of viewers if the refs don't protect her & others.
I used to like Mabry but after watching this, I am pretty disappointed 😞
THEY'RE LAUGHING AND CELEBRATING. SUSPEND THESE PSYCHO WNBA PLAYERS!!!!

Well said, I hope the WNBA league hear the shot over the bow.
These players / refs are disgusting and are ruining this game they are encouraging and allowing bullying and assault such a turn off
If Adam Silver wanted to clean up the W, he would have fired refs, coaches, and suspended many, many players. His actions misrepresent his words.
WNBA has no back bone!
@@Knot315 CC Fans have no backbone, they are all talk about boycotting. If the fans would grow a pair and not show up, it would force the league to change. I won't hold my breath if I were you on that.
That's actually disgusting. Low class, unprofessional. A lot of players to dislike in this league.
Carrington told the media that she had no idea it happened until after the game. So yea, she is a liar, and with the leaked tweets makes it a Hate Crime.
I don't get it why WNBA will not penalize players for unsafe actions that might cause season ending or career ending injury ? WT........
At this point I blame the NBA, because they sugar-daddy the whole thing and take no action when wicked things happen. They need to flush the whole nasty toilet, turn on the fan, and spray the deodorizer until the can is empty.
This!!!!
The WNBA is a joke. Someone is going to have a career ending injury. Im not watching anymore
In fact EXCELLENT analysis......very well spoken....you are a terrific sports writer........
Should be a nail length rule for players those fake acrylic nails are like a weapon. It needs to be at least considered by league for next year. Safety for everyone.
The WNBA will see just how irrelevant they are as soon as Caitlin is eliminated from the playoffs, everybody tunes them out and their television ratings go down the toilet. 🤔
What a joke of the league...it is like a prison league from some bad movie, where the most ugly ones harass those who wont to be better, and like there, same here, guards are doing nothing.
Could it be that Carrington said to her teammates prior to the start of the game ,"I'm going to poke her eyes out,"referring to Clark. Mayberry mimiced the poke because she knew Carrington said she would do it and laughing about it as well. Looks fishy to me !!!

Also...if the Fever is out after tonight, watch the numbers drop like a rock. Viewership will disintegrate
Mabry is COMPLICIT IN THE ASSAULT!! The teammates knew it was coming! When CC isn’t playing, my family and I will no longer be watching!! This coach knew that this was coming !!!

Again, your assessment of this situation was spot on! I'm a new fan to the WNBA because of the greatness of Clark and I started watching at the beginning of the season with such optimism that I was going to see good basketball but what I'm seen is the targeting of one individual that occurs from game to game in city to city! I even e-mailed Cathy Engelbert regarding the fact that after this season, I'm done with the league! The WNBA is filled with jealousy and hatred of which there is enough of in society at large, therefore I don't want to see it in the WNBA also and to that I say, goodbye WNBA, you had your chance, and you blew it!
This video is a lie. Mabrey did not re-enact an eye poke. It was "Carmelo 3 to the Dome".
It isn’t an eye poke. That gave her a black eye. If she would have succeeded Clark would be blind in that eye. WNBA NEEDS TO GET SERIOUS!
There was a fingernail gouge mark about 1/4 inch from her eyeball. CC needs to start wearing goggles the way Kareem did to protect his eyes. At least when she is playing the Sun and Carrington. That should be goggle night for CC.
Saw a video of her earlier talking to the press, with close-ups of her face- there was a distinct red fingernail gouge mark on her lower right eyelid. Carrington just missed her target, which is the only reason she isn't blinded or out with a serious eye injury.
Carrington the Lesbian entitlement who think she can attack other players and WNBA league has issues big time with absolute lack of respectful sportsmanship displayed.
Prison Yard basketball. Really sad.
I lost a ton of respect for Mabrey by watching this video. Once Caitlin's season is over, I hope to never have the desire to watch a WNBA game ever again.
Carringon should be ejected from the league.
I’ve been saying exactly the same bullets for two days as has hundreds of other fans. Carrington needs to be removed immediately. League ending look and the commissioner is fiddling while Rome burns?
Wow can't believe she wasn't suspended. No word from Commissioner
You mean Commissioner Jellyfish?
PERFECT Comment by @irishphilly: As former Cosmetology School trainer & Self-defense Instructor---Anyone who doesn't know Girly Things like nails?? Trust us when we say, acrylic nails are no joke. Those aren't date night temps. Those are serious bake-on acrylics & can be filed to talon sharp weapon level, reinforced w layers of polish. AND? Sharp edged Bling jewels Options. Hair is another danger--never mind. In Self Defense, a basic technique always taught is Eye Strike. Cupping the hand to direct force helps deliver force, protects fingers from getting jammed. Add acrylic nails to a jab? It can just be 1 finger or 2-3 strike eye + orbit? Could cause blindness, lost eye, or impact to seizure +/or brain damage. Also, danger of heart going to a-fib or shock. People die from traumas to the throat or upper body that look like nothing, but at just that freak point in a body's electric cycle = DOA. W is idiotic being so reckless & negligent. The athletes are just toys to them. Dispose + replace. Oh, well, sure: Thoughts and Prayers. NEXT in line.
1. Dijonai Carrington deliberate eye gouging should be suspended and FINED for the play-off and pending termination from the WNBA!!!
2. Marina Mabry should be suspended and FINED for her actions from the play-off and she should be considered for additional suspension at the beginning of the 2025 season!
3. The Sun coach should be fined for FAILURE reprimanding her 2 players!
4. Engleberg NEEDS to step down as commissioner for her FAILURE to managed the WNBA and provide a non-hostile work environment for its players, let someone better govern the WNBA!
5. Suspend all the referees of the Fever Sun game and send out a warning to all referees to GET THE DAMN ACT TOGETHER!!

Very well said!
I hope CC leaves the W after her contract expires and just play in Europe. I'm sure they have better officiating and sportsmanship
It was deliberate for sure. Everybody knows it. She knows that we know.
Pretty sad and childish that you have to cheat to win!!!
IF THIS DELIBERATE POKE IN THEEYE IS NOT DEALT WITH PROPERLY, IM DONE WITH IT.
Well Stated !!! CLARK needs to take a Year off and go Play in Ice CUBEs 3 Person League and Show the WNBA how important She is to the LEAGUE !!!
Did Carrington act on her own or was she told to do that?
It really doesn't matter where the order came from, barbie #2 could have done the right thing and refuse to try and cripple someone, and deshields and carter are also in this disgusting agenda ... but I wonder to who is doing this ordering to the commissioner, you are correct about who is giving the order to do whatever they are doing ... reggie miller said all this physicality comes with the territory, then if so, he should take it upon himself and make a video compilation of all the flagrant sh*t that has happened in the past, and see if anyone was continuously targeted like CC (well exception of Lambeer/Bird or course) ... but reggie miller is another one of the barbie lovers ...
i would say a few players 100% had this planned beforehand - carrington needs suspending. maybrey needs to be fined. - they BOTH have brought the league into disrepute
We all know Dijon Mustard is a dirty player & she intentionally poked Clark's eye. 😏
