SAD NEWS: Indiana Fever just announce a devastating news about Caitlin Clark……
Fans criticize officials for making a joke call during the Fever game, placing Caitlin Clark at the center of the WNBA foul controversy once more.
Wednesday night, Caitlin Clark was the victim of yet another vicious assault on the court when a 235-pound opponent almost struck her in the head.
It occurs in the midst of growing worries about the safety of the rookie for the Indiana Fever after several incidents involving players Angel Reese and Chennedy Carter of the Chicago Sky.
Some celebrities, like Bill Maher and Clay Travis, have even gone so far as to say that Clark, the driving force behind the WNBA’s extraordinary surge in popularity, is being singled out because she’s a white, straight woman.
The first overall pick helped the Fever win their third straight game, defeating the Washington Mystic 88-81, but the officials missed a clear foul that would have put Clark on the free throw line.
The 6’5in center Stefanie Dolson of the Mystic, who finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and four steals, knocked the ball out of the hands of the 22-year-old as she was about to attempt a layup.
“How is this not a foul for Caitlin Clark?” was the caption written by a fan on X for a video of the incident.
Another person commented, “Look at this #wnba your officiating is a joke.”
‘As a recent viewer of the @WNBA, it appears they have a serious officiating issue. A third watcher joked, “I think even the @WWE refs would have caught this one.”
Another person wrote, “Wnba officials made a bad call; this happens too often, to many players.” Another person echoed this sentiment, saying, “Wnba officiating is terrible, actually it sucks.”
After the team lost its opening five games of the season, Clark and the Fever came under heavy criticism, but the Iowa alum chastised those who expected “instant satisfaction” from her.
After the game on Wednesday, Clark remarked, “No one came in here and said we were going to be WNBA Champions from day No 1 in our locker room.”
It was never our intention. Our aim was to return to the postseason, and we strive to achieve that each and every night. We haven’t won four straight home games since 2015,’she continued.
Perspective is essential in both life and the world at large. such as possess a life perspective. And all that’s needed is a clear understanding of what this team is capable of.
The former college star has had a difficult rookie season and has experienced especially harsh treatment from other players in the league.
Most recently, during the Fever’s most recent game against the Chicago Sky, longtime rival Angel Reese flagrantly fouled against her.
As Clark was diving for the basket, Reese smacked her on the head after missing a block. Despite the clear foul, the former LSU player later attacked Clark, saying the Fever had a “special whistle.”
It happened a few weeks after Chennedy Carter, Reese’s Sky teammate, viciously hip-checked Clark.
In the third quarter, while the rookie was waiting for the inbound pass, Carter used her own weight to knock her down.
The Chicago player reportedly yelled at the 22-year-old, “you b***h,” but astonishingly only received a personal foul—later upgraded to a flagrant-1 violation—in exchange.
The intense rivalry between Clark and Reese, as well as her teammates indirectly, has driven WNBA viewership to previously unheard-of levels.
The most watched game in the league in over 20 years was the Fever’s 91-83 victory over the Sky on Sunday.
Compared to most regular season games last season, the highly anticipated matchup averaged 2.25 million viewers, a 225% increase.
At its peak, 3 million households watched the match, making it the most watched game in 23 years.

DiJonai Carrington, a player for the Connecticut Sun, is one of the people who has criticized Clark for remaining silent in the “culture war.”
“Dawg.” It’s absurd that someone can’t take offense when bigotry, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, and the intersections of these ideologies are justified using their name. Everybody sees the s***. Everybody has a platform. Everybody has a voice and a responsibility. Earlier this month, she tweeted, “Silence is a luxury.”
Clark, though, disputed that narrative.
“My name shouldn’t be used for those kinds of agendas.” It’s depressing. It’s unacceptable,’ stated Clark.
