Caitlin is a superb role model for young girls. She gets out on the court and plays the best basketball she can. She does nothing physical wrong to her oppents. Shows respect and has morals. She doesnt boast about the records she has broken or made. Caitlin is not an in your face kinda of person. Catilin wants to play ball and enjoy life like all of us want.
The WNBA is a physical league, but checking a person without the ball is a cheap shot. Hats off to Caitlin for being tough & not complaining. That check reminded me of the Bad Boys Pistons in the 90’s.
Yes, I sent in a complaint to the WNBA about this particular foul, telling them the exact time-stamp of the video, and the name of the offender against Caitlin Clark, as well as her team and number. I explained that this was criminal assault and battery, under federal law of _Hackbart vs. Cincinnati Bengals;_ and I asked if that is the type behavior that people can expect from the WNBA. People NEED to speak up about this sort of thing.
It was a completely cowardly act. Miss Clark had no chance to defend herself. Back in my Marine Corps days, the word would have been “chickenspit.” Pun intended…
Ms.Clark is the reason why me and my friends are watching Clark National Basketball Association.If she never played we wouldn’t be glued to our T.V. She’s exciting and awesome to watch. Just an humble player❤ and support her and her team..
I disagree with the comment about better protection for "STAR" players. I believe that they should have better protection for ALL PLAYERS, NOT JUST STARS.
And smiled/laughed as she moved away. That player has been fired from two other teams for her violence. She needs to be expelled from the league. 3x = out.
I'm not being a scholar, and watching every single video, and reading every single headline about this, but I have seen multiple. I vaguely remember anyone mentioning safety. The biggest, and pretty much only criticism I heard, was about Clark being white, straight, and the jealousy from it. Now when you talk about following in other player's footsteps, I don't think that fits either. This is the first time a name was associated with the WNBA that actually had something to do with the WNBA. Never heard of those "trailblazers." The only reason Brittany Griner is famous, is because she got arrested for illegal activity, and caused a controversy. She just happened to be a WNBA player. I won't mention anything else. Also, you can tell the integrity, and lack there of. While some people are condescendingly saying "This is the big leagues" She's like, "I already know, and came prepared." One More thing. It's been compared to the Johnson/Bird rivalry. No. That was a professional rivalry. This is predjudice, racist, and jealous vindictiveness.
If ANYTHING happens to CC to where she is no longer playing in the WNBA they ALL will lose. Even woke LeBron James spoke out in support of of Caitlyn Clarke. He even made reference to the other players hating on CC. Man it can't be any more obvious.
I have long preferred the WNBA to the NBA because of the cleaner style of play and the refs actually calling things like travelling. This season has been a disappointment.
Caitlin Clark character shines through her. She has every reason to stand up and say none of this is fair but instead she has integrity! I pray God to continue to bless her abundantly!!
Silverman and the other commissioner are jerks. It’s a game it’s supposed to be a game. The public really sees what’s going on. That part of the game is sickening.
coaches who allow or tell there players to do the dirty deeds need to be suspended if not banned. The coach is allowing this to happen. coach needs to be suspended.
If the coach were fined, it likely would impact a decision to bench the player for flagrant fouls. The coach is ultimately responsible for the team culture.
She lowered her head and shoulder! Do that on the streets and it is assault. She should have been ejected, fined, and suspended. Pure intent to do harm. Unsportsmanlike and pure trash.
Especially considering fact that she has a history of that sort of violent action. She seems believe that her skin tone & that good old victim card gives her a get out of any & all consequences by screaming those - over used at this point - ist & isms. It’s honestly sad how there doesn’t seem to be much good sportsmanship by many of the black/brown & gay players who consistently seem to go way “low” (for lack better term) & seem to not grasp there’s no “I” in “TEAM”. Not mention refs seemed to let more & more things pass that could lead to someone being seriously hurt. I never used to pay much attention to women’s basketball until Caitlyn Clark & honestly was tired of their complaints about being paid comparatively to NBA even though they didn’t sell out arenas & stuff. The plays are stark difference & not very memorable really (just look at latest “dunk” - I think that’s what it’s called - by Brittany Greiner). Women’s Basketball sure has gotten interesting & hopefully the cattiness stops.
The fact that she said "Yo, b*tch" makes it even worse. These players do realize that if Caitlin wants to, she can press charges against these 'women' for assault. And the WNBA is in danger of losing Caitlin. There is not a judge or jury who would make her honor her contract after watching video of these intentional assaults with no consequences for the the perpetrators, hearing about she was hit so hard that they busted her eardrum, the unsafe working conditions, the physical & mental abuse, the other players cheering & celebrating the attacks, and that's before making any references as to why. I would imagine that Caitlin would walk away with quite a bit. Fans are sick of this crap, of allowed entitled behavior and of people trying their best to prove stereotypes are not only alive and well but well deserved & accurate
It amazes me how a year ago these players were bitching about equal pay. Now with the number of butts in the seats that will make that happen BECAUSE OF CLARK they are bullying the one person that's actually making that happen. The league needs to clamp down on the toxic behavior n make em play or go home and don't bother coming back
Nah, flagrant 1. She didn't neck tackle her. You obviously have never watched an NBA game. The biggest issue was that her teammates on the court didn't immediately jump all over the other player and try to start a brawl to send a message to the rest of the league. That's why that Sky player did that, to get in her head and see how she and her teammates would respond. The Fever team brutally failed. They all looked like a bunch of punk a** b*tches.
@@eddierobinson5579you need to shut your mouth before someone shuts it for you. I’m positive you have never played a day in your life because you are a f49
I understand what you mean but I think their behaviour was correct, it was not a fight, its an agression. Only more problems expected if they respond. They need to know sometimes this is part of the game, sad but true
What you didn't realize is that Caitlin's teammates were down court to get in proper position. They more than likely didn't see what had happened by a jealous adversary. Look at the video closely.
@@peperocky1973it will continue when nothing's done. Just like a quarterback walking back to the huddle only to be lifted and dropped on his head. Or a pitcher throwing a headshot. It's not part of the game. It should not be ok'd.
Banks is totally right, if the WNBA dont come down hard on physical violence on the court ( considering the game is meant to be a non contact sport) then they are leaving themselves, the WNBA of being sued by a player if they get hurt by another players aggression, the law states that everyone is responsible for the Duty of Care, thats the players, the coaches, the Franchise and the League, any player who performs an aggressive hit on another player should be instantly removed from the game, which then goes to the Leagues Judicial Committee for the punishment ruling, the player should be heavily fined, $10K minimum, the Coach and the Franchise should also be fined, then the player should lose games, be it 1 game or 5 games, depending on the level of the assault.
@@albeerivereagleam-ind1562 I agree, what happened to Angel was not only an assault on her it was down right dangerous to the point she could have been seriously injured as in head injuries, the player was sent off but she should have been given a huge fine and missed several games, in our Rugby League game which is full contact a player who did that would have not only been sent off but would definitely lost playing multiple games
@@albeerivereagleam-ind1562 l agree with most of what your saying. What l don't like is your mentioning Reese. You'd think she might have learned and l don't think she has at all.
I started watching women's college basketball when Caitlin was a freshman, being a coach for young girls. After seeing her play, I said to anyone who would listen, that Caitlin Clark was going to be the best female basketball player of all time and I was right. We all should respect her for what she has done for women's basketball ❤
So proud of you Caitlin, taking the high road in response to a childish low blow 2 yr old move. Rise above it! Don't stoop to the enemies attics! Love you CC!!!!
1. Adam Silver should be fired 2. The refs of the Chicago game should be fired 3. Carter should have been ejected from the game, suspended, and paid a fine
@coolkid5924 When? I have yet to see her blame others for any issues she has on the court, even though she's well within her rights to do so based on the treatment she's been getting.
The referee should be fired and fined. Kaitlyn Clark brings in the money and if this keeps happening, people are gonna get sick and tired and not come to the games and the WNBA is gonna lose money once again.. The commissioner of the WNBA should be ashamed of herself and start doing her job for once.
So Commissioner Silver says battery upon an individual is okay if it makes money for the WNBA? But we won't call it battery; we will call it an initiation or right of passage.
yea Mitchell said she has her back, where wer she when that happen?,...pathetic team players,..nobody aided her,.. well sort of,..dat was NBA bench mob already!!
Please bring back Angel McCoughtry from retirement to basketball and she will protect Caitlin Clark from the girls that are not showing her respect on the court
You just said it, a Retired 5 Time WNBA player wanted to come out of retirement to help Caitlin. Well if she was a superstar, how come we haven’t heard of her?
Team GM, League Commish, the refs, Fever coach and owner are all cowards, letting the inmates run the asylum. The racism, childish petty jealousy et al, runs very deep in this league, and the play is more akin to pro wrastlin than sport (" no holds barred " for sure). WNBA = thug ball !!!
In a league that is set to lose $50 million this year, the league's execs should have rules written and unwritten in place to protect star players. This is a business teams also need to protect their *_assets._* The Fever need to get an enforcer onto their roster to watchout for Caitlin and their most talented players.
Adam Silver is the biggest joke in professional sports as a commissioner. To come out and say flagrant fouls are a "right of passage" for new players should get him fired. You're basically opening the door for behavior detrimental to the game with stupid comments like that. Even if it's true....you don't promote that fact publicly.
I knew he was going to be horrible when it was revealed he was Stern's handpicked successor. Might be good for the finances of the league (the only thing some care about) but lousy for the game.
Caitlin. I commend you girl. You are handling the bumps and bruises that go along with being a rookie in a professional sport like a true adult athlete should. You are not pouting and crying, oh she hit me. The only complaints are coming from the media and outsiders. I'm sure your team has got your back, and it only becomes a closer family knit as time goes on. I wish people that make it their business to stir the pot and blow things outta proportion would shut up, and allow you, to be you. Kudos to you Caitlin and best of luck in your career.
Angel Reese said every rival has a good guy and a bad guy and she was okay to play the role of the bad guy. LoL , does she think that intentional physical violence is playing the role of the bad guy ? That's a liability I don't think teams want.
In the 'Thug Ghetto-ball League' violence is expected and rewarded. Talent and adhering to the rules isn't in their playbook. That's why most people won't waste their time watching them.
I was a straight white female in a mostly lesbian soccer league, had to prove my athletic ability, while wearing a ribbon in my ponytail.. they immediately were "racist" toward me... racist isn't always about the color of your skin...
Racism is promoted by 2 classes. Democrats and ignorant black people! Period! it's pathetic and ignorant and illustrates the fact they are uneducated bigots and haters!
No, he could have explained it better, but that sht happens in the NBA to rookies all the time. Is it okay? Not really. Is it part of the game? Yes. It's not like she punched her in the face or neck tackled her going up for a layup.
I get that during aggressive play there can be physical contact, but that was blatant attack. There was no play going on at the time. The other team member was holding the ball outside the court waiting to start the game again.
Well I'm 67 yr old grandma who hasn't ever watched alot of basketball.on TV or live ! But my u-tube always goes right to WNBA now 😊❤ Team Caitlyn and all the females playing a safe basketball game! 🏀🏆👍👏
I don’t know I think Briana Stewart is the best player all around offense and defense in the league she’s white and thriving. Tonight Minnesota played Ny and Kayla McBride was crossing over like Allen Iverson . CC doesn’t do that. I am watching all the games not just the Fever.
@@ChrisWilliam-rs7xg Yea, but I think it’s more than about race because look how the NBA accepts Chet Holmgren. Women are different jealous because CC moves the crowd, she white and she has not proven it yet oh she ain’t gay
Another new face increasing wnba popularity is CCs teammate Kate Martin. She's the most popular player on the Ace's team. Deservedly so. She's a great person and a future great player.
Why aren't there any enforcers on Clark's team? Any sport I have ever played in there were certain players who were responsible for, and often enjoyed, retaliating against the other teams player who committed the fouler, or the other teams best player. A major reason Wayne Gretzky, a relatively small, light player, was never crushed. He had a goon squad on every team he played with. This protection tends to reduce the overall contact over the course of the game and season
This is an example of why "rules" don't need to be followed...either in sports or any other segment of society. We should all accept the fact that some in society feel that rules need not be followed. If the people that break the rules don't have consequences then neither should anyone else...especialy if they fit in a "special" catagory.
@repealthepatriotact so if someone hires a murderer to kill someone, only the one hiring gets punishment? Murderer goes free? Are you sure about your logic?
@@saywhat6632 OMFG LOL.... Are you even aware that YOUR logic has you comparing a coach-ordered hard foul in a basketball game to someone who hired a hitman to actually murder someone? Your sense of perspective is so f***ked. It's just a game, and the league isn't a criminal court of law. They have to choose a strategy that most effectively curbs the behavior of everyone involved and sends a clear message to the rest of the teams at every level. And YOUR logic is a dumpster fire. Mainly because you have ZERO sense of context.
9:27 LOL….”working closely w/ coaches/trainers to develop strategies that can help protect her on the court w/o compromising”!?!?!? how do they strategize to protect CC like what happened with CARTER! That was from left field and was so uncalled for! And the team are just now, I feel, are reluctantly helping her off the floor and barely protecting her while she has the ball. CC just wants to play ball!!! LOL, the enemies say she’s being over protected WHAT?!?!?!? how are the fans over protecting her, she still get pushed, bashed...I don’t see fans on the floor protecting her...
It's coming soon. Clark is worth far more to The Fever than that coach, and everyone knows it. The money didn't start rolling in when Sides became the coach. Clark can take those multi-million deals from Nike and Wilson to any team in the league. The money follows her. That coach cannot say that by any means. They can probably replace her with half of the coaches in college basketball.
@@gargamel3393 That coach is paid $500,000 a year to coach in a welfare league. You can already tell by her mouth and interaction with Caitlan she is as jealous as all those racist black players. That lesbian coach already said she wants to stop Catlians personality on the floor and just make her another boring player who can shoot the ball. No one give a shit about the welfare WNBA until a one of a kind super player came along named Caitlan Clark who is white and she changed the whole WNBA all by her self, Now thousands of people have become fans the numbers are way up the pay is up all because Caitlan Clark made all of it possible. Angel had no effect on any of this and she knows it and it's killing her soul. Why did it take 20 minutes to call a foul in that one game when in our basketball playing a foul would be called in less than a minute maybe because some certain players would play the race card. I never look at race in a ball player what i do look at and like is players who advance above all other players like Michael Jordan for one now that here is a true ball player.
Carter should be fine $50,000 and suspended for the rest of the Season , The coach should of had Carter taken out of the Game immediately , This goes for any other player who does violant behavior. Also the Coaches and the Ref’s from both teams should be fine heavily.
Coast Sides need to be fired and fine. You can see iCoach Sides face expressions that she mad about something, Sides is Not a team player . Fire Christie Sides ASAP. She is hurting the team.
2023 Fifa Qualifiers Brazil v Argentina. The game started with near constant "football-level" fouls. The ref kept giving out free kicks until everyone got the message. (also Brazil fell behind a goal and so had to start playing)
Clark is a team player. She retaliates for infractions by scoring points. She’s a CLASS ACT…
Any coach who allows this from r of their players doesn't deserve to be coaching,
Tspoon should have cut Carter from the team the next day.
Jealousy is an ugly thing.
The WNBA is an ugly organization from the Top Down.
Jealousy is immature and stupid.
It's evil
…and Needy Cat is definitely not a pretty picture. That’s for sure.
If you can't stand the heat , get out the kitchen.

And Reese stood up from the bench and supported the act. 10,000 fine on away from the ball flagrant fouls. And 10,000 fine to the coach of the Sky.

When you flagrantly tackle someone that has their back turned and doesn’t have the ball….its a flagrant foul.
It’s a cowardly move by Carter…
What's next? Will these bullies start wearing brass-knuckles in the games?
She should be put in permanent timeout
It was a completely cowardly act. Miss Clark had no chance to defend herself. Back in my Marine Corps days, the word would have been “chickenspit.” Pun intended…

Her teammates and coach are part of the sabotage problem that Clark is experiencing. A blind person could watch the games and see it.

1. Adam Silver should be fired
2. The refs of the Chicago game should be fired
3. Carter should have been ejected from the game, suspended, and paid a fine
Notice how catlin dosent blame other people or play victim
Needy Cat has you guys for that! Or didn’t you notice?
SHE ALWAYS BLAMES OTHER PEOPLE
@coolkid5924 I never Witness her blaming anybody else. She's a humble person.
@coolkid5924 When? I have yet to see her blame others for any issues she has on the court, even though she's well within her rights to do so based on the treatment she's been getting.
@@Keshia-es9un
Poor you!! You are jealous. Guess you need a life
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The referee should be fired and fined. Kaitlyn Clark brings in the money and if this keeps happening, people are gonna get sick and tired and not come to the games and the WNBA is gonna lose money once again.. The commissioner of the WNBA should be ashamed of herself and start doing her job for once.
Fine them bullies! Suspend them as well. They should act and play professionally, not like a bully!
Thugs!
No pushing off
So Commissioner Silver says battery upon an individual is okay if it makes money for the WNBA? But we won't call it battery; we will call it an initiation or right of passage.
What the hell kinda officials call the game! They should be suspended for crap like this!
Caitlin is such a role model for our children. Kudos Caitlin!
@johnnykage1757 kick rocks assh*le! You beta punks are a joke!
@johnnykage1757 my grandchildrens… thank you!
White children
@johnnykage1757 haha, u a Caitlin hater and black.
@johnnykage1757 I imagine you idolize career criminals like floyd to. This is exactly why the black community is struggling.
Boston should of got in her face. This team doesn't deserve CC at all.
This happened weeks ago. Boston would probably defend her now, if coach Sides would allow her to without benching her.
She dang well should have made her eat that ball!!! She just stood there!
should have...damn, not of
@@larrygrassinger2819 Doesn't matter. This would never happen in the NHL or even MLB
I agree with LeBron James. Why does her team not stand up for her.
Teammates should always have each others back no matter what in a game.
And your coach!!!
Even on bullying/hurting others? Hmmmm
No sportmanship. I don't agree on that. Sorry.
yea Mitchell said she has her back, where wer she when that happen?,...pathetic team players,..nobody aided her,.. well sort of,..dat was NBA bench mob already!!
@@djbasco4837 huh? Who did she bully?
@maureenmccann3715 yep
Please bring back Angel McCoughtry from retirement to basketball and she will protect Caitlin Clark from the girls that are not showing her respect on the court
Her team mates certainly don’t have her back!
You just said it, a Retired 5 Time WNBA player wanted to come out of retirement to help Caitlin. Well if she was a superstar, how come we haven’t heard of her?
the commissioner silver better pull his head outa his ass hazing new players has NO PLACE in wnba
Team GM, League Commish, the refs, Fever coach and owner are all cowards, letting the inmates run the asylum. The racism, childish petty jealousy et al, runs very deep in this league, and the play is more akin to pro wrastlin than sport (" no holds barred " for sure). WNBA = thug ball !!!
He just made a dumbass out of himself...
He’s a wimp
Hazing is one thing, assaulting someone who's looking the other way when there isn't even a play there to motivate it is criminal assault.
I know what Silver is!
What is the time stamp of the part where Clark "took down" a coach and the shocking aftermath?
In a league that is set to lose $50 million this year, the league's execs should have rules written and unwritten in place to protect star players. This is a business teams also need to protect their *_assets._* The Fever need to get an enforcer onto their roster to watchout for Caitlin and their most talented players.
Caitlyn is a phenomenon and no matter who knocks her down. It’s not gonna stop her from being the great basketball player that she is.
When's the fevers owner and management going to wake up and back their # 1 pick. Can't they figure the coach needs to be fired.
The WNBA is a joke.
Adam Silver is the biggest joke in professional sports as a commissioner. To come out and say flagrant fouls are a "right of passage" for new players should get him fired. You're basically opening the door for behavior detrimental to the game with stupid comments like that. Even if it's true....you don't promote that fact publicly.
I knew he was going to be horrible when it was revealed he was Stern's handpicked successor. Might be good for the finances of the league (the only thing some care about) but lousy for the game.
Just like Roger Goodall in nfl
Yes. The logical progression of silver's thinking is for basketball players to carry baseball bats out onto the court
So don’t say what’s true in public. How interesting.😂
He should be ashamed of his remark
Caitlin is a star on so many levels. I hope that her team mates will be there for her
Caitlin. I commend you girl. You are handling the bumps and bruises that go along with being a rookie in a professional sport like a true adult athlete should. You are not pouting and crying, oh she hit me. The only complaints are coming from the media and outsiders. I'm sure your team has got your back, and it only becomes a closer family knit as time goes on. I wish people that make it their business to stir the pot and blow things outta proportion would shut up, and allow you, to be you. Kudos to you Caitlin and best of luck in your career.
Angel Reese said every rival has a good guy and a bad guy and she was okay to play the role of the bad guy. LoL , does she think that intentional physical violence is playing the role of the bad guy ? That's a liability I don't think teams want.
That's her brand, it's going to bring her her own fan base, and lots of money. She's an ahole, but that's just good business.
In the 'Thug Ghetto-ball League' violence is expected and rewarded. Talent and adhering to the rules isn't in their playbook. That's why most people won't waste their time watching them.
Who was bad guy in Magic-Bird rivarly?
@@rikardbrcic7924 Bill Lambere and Mark McGuire. LoL
@@rikardbrcic7924 those two treated each other with respect.
I was a straight white female in a mostly lesbian soccer league, had to prove my athletic ability, while wearing a ribbon in my ponytail.. they immediately were "racist" toward me... racist isn't always about the color of your skin...
Racism is promoted by 2 classes. Democrats and ignorant black people! Period! it's pathetic and ignorant and illustrates the fact they are uneducated bigots and haters!
So this was the lesbian race vs the straight white female race? Is that right?😂
Silver's reaction was idiotic. It was not a hit that took place as a part of a play. That's not rough play. That's assault.
No, he could have explained it better, but that sht happens in the NBA to rookies all the time. Is it okay? Not really. Is it part of the game? Yes. It's not like she punched her in the face or neck tackled her going up for a layup.
@@repealthepatriotact so you didnt watch angel reese slap the fuck out of caitlin while doing a layup? watch more games
@@repealthepatriotactyour colour is showing!
Silvers would be the first one to hide from in sport physicality, kind of a wimp!
I get that during aggressive play there can be physical contact, but that was blatant attack. There was no play going on at the time. The other team member was holding the ball outside the court waiting to start the game again.
Well I'm 67 yr old grandma who hasn't ever watched alot of basketball.on TV or live ! But my u-tube always goes right to
WNBA now 😊❤
Team Caitlyn and all the females playing a safe basketball game! 🏀🏆👍👏
These guys are just making Caitlin a huge STARS. Caitlin is a uniter in chief❤❤❤
I'm waiting for someone to speak up about the anti white racism that's rampant in this league
Don't hold your breath. Woke is still protecting the thugs.
I don’t know I think Briana Stewart is the best player all around offense and defense in the league she’s white and thriving. Tonight Minnesota played Ny and Kayla McBride was crossing over like Allen Iverson . CC doesn’t do that. I am watching all the games not just the Fever.
In the league?? You obviously don't live in a big city.
@@repealthepatriotact I live in LA
@@ChrisWilliam-rs7xg Yea, but I think it’s more than about race because look how the NBA accepts Chet Holmgren. Women are different jealous because CC moves the crowd, she white and she has not proven it yet oh she ain’t gay
Even her coach and teammates dont react, what happen to this people. They are not defending and supporting Caitlyn Clark
Not a foul but racism and jealousy
Amen
@robinpesek365 taste it black people go thru.racism jealousy every day
So racism does exist?
Can't we along get along....
@@allworld8052oh please go cry about your supposed discrimination somewhere else! You’re so full of sht it’s not even funny… learn history!!!!
Another new face increasing wnba popularity is CCs teammate Kate Martin. She's the most popular player on the Ace's team. Deservedly so. She's a great person and a future great player.
Caitlin clark teammates should of had her back ,never let your players get bully that's the golden rule
That’s bull shit! The fool that deliberately assaulted Caitlin Clark was not being a good sport. What she did was not sport.
She's what they call a " Hack" player. Injures to disable their opponent.
Look at carters team mates clapping after it happened! She is getting targeted and her team mates do nothint
That was crap too!
Nignorance
@@Eddie-ds8ng😂😂😂
I like the comment.
Why aren't there any enforcers on Clark's team? Any sport I have ever played in there were certain players who were responsible for, and often enjoyed, retaliating against the other teams player who committed the fouler, or the other teams best player. A major reason Wayne Gretzky, a relatively small, light player, was never crushed. He had a goon squad on every team he played with. This protection tends to reduce the overall contact over the course of the game and season
The WNBA needs Caitlin
Caitlin does not need the WNBA
This is an example of why "rules" don't need to be followed...either in sports or any other segment of society. We should all accept the fact that some in society feel that rules need not be followed. If the people that break the rules don't have consequences then neither should anyone else...especialy if they fit in a "special" catagory.
That foul was a crime! An assault!
The offender needs to be prosecuted!
Clearly a new commissioner is needed.
That is not black or lesbian
That’s equivalent to suspension. That Carter is an animal.
She's pure thug. Almost demonically violent. Girl's got a lot of racist rage goin on there.
Nah, they just should have fined the coach to let her know they knew she gave the order.
@repealthepatriotact so if someone hires a murderer to kill someone, only the one hiring gets punishment? Murderer goes free? Are you sure about your logic?
@@saywhat6632 OMFG LOL.... Are you even aware that YOUR logic has you comparing a coach-ordered hard foul in a basketball game to someone who hired a hitman to actually murder someone?
Your sense of perspective is so f***ked.
It's just a game, and the league isn't a criminal court of law. They have to choose a strategy that most effectively curbs the behavior of everyone involved and sends a clear message to the rest of the teams at every level.
And YOUR logic is a dumpster fire. Mainly because you have ZERO sense of context.
So is Angel Reese.
9:27 LOL….”working closely w/ coaches/trainers to develop strategies that can help protect her on the court w/o compromising”!?!?!? how do they strategize to protect CC like what happened with CARTER! That was from left field and was so uncalled for! And the team are just now, I feel, are reluctantly helping her off the floor and barely protecting her while she has the ball. CC just wants to play ball!!! LOL, the enemies say she’s being over protected WHAT?!?!?!? how are the fans over protecting her, she still get pushed, bashed...I don’t see fans on the floor protecting her...
Caitlin Clark is absolutely the Micheal Jordan of the WNBA!
did i miss the part where CC TAKES DOWN a coach???
It's coming soon. Clark is worth far more to The Fever than that coach, and everyone knows it. The money didn't start rolling in when Sides became the coach. Clark can take those multi-million deals from Nike and Wilson to any team in the league. The money follows her. That coach cannot say that by any means. They can probably replace her with half of the coaches in college basketball.
You did…. So did I.
@@gargamel3393 That coach is paid $500,000 a year to coach in a welfare league. You can already tell by her mouth and interaction with Caitlan she is as jealous as all those racist black players. That lesbian coach already said she wants to stop Catlians personality on the floor and just make her another boring player who can shoot the ball. No one give a shit about the welfare WNBA until a one of a kind super player came along named Caitlan Clark who is white and she changed the whole WNBA all by her self, Now thousands of people have become fans the numbers are way up the pay is up all because Caitlan Clark made all of it possible. Angel had no effect on any of this and she knows it and it's killing her soul. Why did it take 20 minutes to call a foul in that one game when in our basketball playing a foul would be called in less than a minute maybe because some certain players would play the race card. I never look at race in a ball player what i do look at and like is players who advance above all other players like Michael Jordan for one now that here is a true ball player.
@@nickrandol9133we got played 😂😂
T-spoon is my family and I guarantee no one will be stepping up to her🤨
She needs to go to a better team.
Yeh pretty weak message her teammates sent to her and opposition
If Clark didn't play in the wnba I would've never knew what wnba is... Go Caitlin
McCoughtry is a class act.
Carter should be fine $50,000 and suspended for the rest of the Season ,
The coach should of had Carter taken out of the Game immediately ,
This goes for any other player who does violant behavior. Also the Coaches and the Ref’s from both teams should be fine heavily.
Coast Sides need to be fired and fine. You can see iCoach Sides face expressions that she mad about something, Sides is Not a team player . Fire Christie Sides ASAP. She is hurting the team.
These players are supposed to be professional?
Unfortunately, all professional sports have their bad apples
Nothing professional about them. Just like most sports, just a bunch of thugs. Get rid of all the America hating leagues!
@@Aeonfly monkey is the word
Adam Silver looks like a Batman villain … after they get blowed up.
“Blown” up Englishman.😂
@@Keshia-es9un hear hear
The refs need an updated class or something. Yes it's a contact sport but a sport it needs to remain and that means sportsmanship!!
a well-spoken, educated, talented, straight white woman (with no braids, tattoos, etc.) playing in the WNBA? How dare she !
You can not put a good woman down a hero like Caitlin Clark !!!
That was uncalled for. That dude just hip checked her for no reason. 😂
Dude?😂
😂😂😂😂
Him…….hip checked him.😂
Clark is the one with the Adam’s Apple.
Thugs
A little smirk on the face of the bully as she hit Caitlin from behind and pushed her down.
Caitlin needs to toughen up and put her out of games for awhile.
Carter that's CRIMINAL!
Carter's an animalistic thug !!
2023 Fifa Qualifiers Brazil v Argentina. The game started with near constant "football-level" fouls. The ref kept giving out free kicks until everyone got the message. (also Brazil fell behind a goal and so had to start playing)
Caitlin Clark for President! Make the WNBA great!
Netherlands would NEeeeeva. 😂
It's like throwing a boxing punch after the bell.
