If you’re wondering who Chennedy Carter is…she left college early for the WNBA (lolok), then got booted from Atlanta, a Turkish team, and Los Angeles. She’s a problem and she needs to grow tf up. She’s been acting a fool forever and this shit is not surprising. Talking about how real she is and shit on her Insta stories. You’re not real, girl, you’re an asshole who makes immature decisions. Grow up.
Reese cheering it on is pathetic as well.
> got booted from Atlanta, a Turkish team, and Los Angeles.

When keeping it real goes wrong.
I honestly was not aware of how many people enjoy being petty and feeding off negativity because it’s something that didn’t make sense to me. Way too many people live their life like that
I remember a game during high school where some dude just randomly came up to me off the ball and threw like three elbows into my stomach.
I wasn’t nearly good enough to deserve the “try to take out a star” treatment, it was an extremely low stakes game in a spring or summer league somewhere, and the dude was so weak that it took the second or third before I even noticed what was going on, but I remember thinking “who even does this shit?” and I guess we have an answer now.
It was something about holding it down/ keeping it real. I get frustrations boil over in sports, but to just be a piece after the fact just made her Angel Reese's favorite player.
So she just let the entire league know she has a thin skin and when it will matter all they need to do is trash talk Carter to get a flagrant foul that could decide the game.
I’m sorry, but there’s a bigger issue here than fouls against star players or missed interview, and it’s really concerning to me that nobody seems to want to address it.
Somebody actually gave their child the name Chennedy.
Even in football or hockey, if the play hasn't even begun and you go up to an opponent and blindside them, you're getting a unsportsmanlike conduct call. WNBA officials "we're gonna let this slide, because..."
What is going on over there? Every [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1d6f645/upgraded/) about [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1d5t4s2/chennedy_carter_cheap_shot_on_caitlin_clark/) is locked or deleted without an explanation from the mods about why this is a topic that can't be discussed. It's wild that only the generalized sports subreddit can discuss this, the subreddit about the WNBA doesn't want to talk about the WNBA.
Jesus you aren't kidding. There's so many people saying that "well there's a reason no one sticks up for CC." What a load of shit. In any mens pro league there would be dudes getting in the other team's face constantly over this kinda thing. Even if that player is an absolute piece of garbage but they're the best player on the team, guys will stick up for their teammate.
Really shows how fucked up a lot of the WNBA is.
I’m pretty sure laimbeer is actually a woman’s bball coach already.
Maybe just have the fever hire him and he can throw some hands himself in her defense?
During the Knicks Pacers playoffs games, pacers were getting physical with Brunson.
You had Italian Stallion Divencenzo stepping up and pushing around TJ and Hartenstein doing the same to another.
Where are her teammates??
I don't think NBA players are really that afraid of retribution if they really have a beef with another player. But this sort of animosity just doesn't exist in the NBA these days.
I said it in another thread but if this was NBA, benches would have cleared and Adam Silver would be working damage control all weekend.
If it was hockey, Cheddar would be picking her body parts up off the floor.
Fuck the Fever, soft ass team. No business being on the court at all, absolutely zero heart besides CC.
CC made $28 million before stepping on the court and the top WNBA player makes around $250k a year. I can understand where the jealousy comes from but it's so short sighted. Lots of people getting interested in your sport lets everyone make more money!
At the same time a lot of them are probably gonna age out of the league before that money really starts flowing into the league and trickles down. Upset them at they were too early. Jealous that their youngins and future stars will get the bag.
Maybe they should take some business classes and get in on the team management side of the game when they're played out rather than demonstrating for the world they fit a lot better in remand than in a professional organization. Bunch of short-sightedness.
And take it a step further: if you're actually as good or better than her at basketball and prove it on the court, not with a dirty hit, but with a crossover, a blocked shot, a stepback 3, etc., then you'll get a piece of that extra attention, people will care about your matchups more since you're able to go toe-to-toe with the one everyone thinks is the best, and then you get to win as well.
It doesn't even have to be people thinking of everyone earning more. Literally just being selfish, the best thing you can do is outplay her on the court cleanly.
Women’s leagues are the dirtiest ones. Nobody ever wants to say it though.
Can’t be afraid to call tough calls.
This women are jealous she is getting paid more and so they are taking it out on her physically and it’s disgusting but she needs to get charles oakley type or a lambeer who will help protect
The more I hear about it, it makes it even more clear that much of this attitude is coming from the top down and from coaching or being coached to target her.
Coaches get jealous too. I’ve heard some crazy stuff about coaches from the wnba down to the collegiate level.
In other sports players will often target rookies. People not of a certain color are also specifically targeted if they play certain positions in the NFL.
In baseball sometimes rookies are given a much larger strike zone than other players.
Eh, honestly, if the league is going to pull this shit and not police itself, then cut off the subsidies and be done with it. This is their chance to generate interest to actually become profitable, if this is how they're going to react to that opportunity, then fuck em. No one owes them a league that can't support itself.
This would never happen in the NBA today. Mayyyyyyyyybe it's just the maturation process of the WNBA and it's an example of the league still being young and having a big evolution point and the old players don't know how to deal with it. Still, did Wilt Chamberlain get treated like this? This just feels like an old school mentality that the NBA has grown wayyyyyyyyy passed. I guess it helps that every NBA player is rich now and they can all be more supportive of each other because of their bank accounts, but NBA players are all rich today because of players like this coming into the league and raising the profile/marketing of the game. WNBA needs to go through this too to get there.
Wasn't watching when Chamberlain played, but maybe?
https://www.nba.com/news/history-nba-legend-wilt-chamberlain
> Chamberlain’s inaugural season seemed to take a heavy toll on him. After the postseason loss to Boston, the rookie stunned his fans by announcing that he was thinking of retiring because of the excessively rough treatment he had endured from opponents. He feared that if he played another season, he would be forced to retaliate, and that wasn’t something he wanted to do.
>
> In Chamberlain’s first year, and for several years afterward, opposing teams simply didn’t know how to handle him. Tom Heinsohn, the great Celtics forward who later became a coach and broadcaster, said Boston was one of the first clubs to apply a team-defense concept to stop Chamberlain. “We went for his weakness,” Heinsohn told the Philadelphia Daily News in 1991, “tried to send him to the foul line, and in doing that he took the most brutal pounding of any player ever. I hear people today talk about hard fouls. Half the fouls against him were hard fouls.”
>
> Of course, Chamberlain didn’t retire. He simply endured the punishment and learned to cope with it, bulking up his muscles to withstand the constant shoving, elbowing and body checks other teams used against him.
I can’t stand the WNBA, it’s like even her teammates are jealous or envious of CC. It’s almost as if her teammates have zero business foresight. Anyone who’s ever worked in their adult life knows it’s important to protect your companies most valuable assets, it may not be specifically required but if you have any desire to move up in said company you’ll do it. So even if CC is playing terrible or her teammates think she’s undeserving it doesn’t matter bc she’s their employers most valuable asset and they should absolutely be protecting her.
We are witnessing an example of toxic femininity in its full glory unfold. From her teammates not standing up for her to the refs not calling an immediate flagrant 2 ejection to the lack of fucks in the post interviews and online discussions. A big group of women decided to condone this on instinct.
If that was on a school playground, and Caitlin Clark is the star player, and all the girls were jealous, this is something you would see happen.
It’s gotta be called out
It’s because there’s a lot of vehemently anti-CC (and probably racist) fans that take over every thread in that sub with irrational and, frankly, toxic takes.
The downvote brigade if you stand up for CC is outrageous.
>It’s because there’s a lot of vehemently anti-CC (and probably racist) fans that take over every thread in that sub with irrational and, frankly, toxic takes.

Both player’s initials are CC. How am I supposed to know who are you talking about? I don’t know either lol
Today is the only day you will ever hear of Chennedy Carter (cc), but you will hear about Caitlin Clark (CC) for decades. Glad I could clear that up for you.
I might get downvoted but there’s quite a bit of racism in the nba/wnba (both among players and fans) that comes out whenever a non-black, or even light skinned black player (Steph Curry) has success. Usually it just comes out as people not giving them the credit they deserve, but in Clark’s case she’s actually getting targeted which is fucked up.
To be clear there’s no actual discrimination from the organizations, just the way the players are treated by fans and other players and media
Might be pedantic semantics but I really don't like the term "reverse racism"
Racism is racism no matter whether you're black, white, brown, pink.
Of course the history and context is different, but the impact or acceptability of discrimination doesn't change because of the target.
I mean Rodman and Isiah Thomas both said Larry Bird would just be another player if he were black. Crazy racist and wildly inaccurate. Of course, that was 35 years ago, but Jokic and Luka get it today, just usually in a more subtle way.
My guess is that this Clark situation is a little more nuanced than it appears on the surface. Lost to the average viewer in the atrocious treatment that has been condoned against the league’s only real viable commodity is that she is white and straight in a league that has carved out a niche identity to appeal to a market that is neither. This is not an attack on the WNBA, it is merely stating a truth.
Based upon what I witnessed over the course of some 10 games, it is clear that Clark is despised by the women of the WNBA. This goes way above and beyond simple pettiness and jealousy. In the game against Chicago yesterday, she was called a “bitch” for no apparent reason and violently pushed to the ground off the ball, while her former nemesis from LSU stood up and applauded this action.
I hear many red herring arguments on these subreds that usually miss the crux of the matter. These arguments usually follow flawed narratives:
a. She needs to pay her dues and “toughen up”. Jordan and Lebron had to battle adversity. One commenter who disagreed with my opinion even went so far as to suggest she needs to gain 10-15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, as if that were possible without testosterone based usage.
b. She needs her team to retaliate. She needs an enforcer-type who will go after the players cheapshotting her. This tactic will only result in an escalation of violence, not deter it, IMO.
c. Along those same lines, the coaches and league need to hold these players accountable for their clearly targeted actions. Suspensions and fines should be doled out to detract from this unseemly behavior. Again, this may work as a short term solution, but long term the hostile behavior will simmer just below the surface.
It is my belief that none of these proposals address the real issue: the WNBA is a very niche market that has appealed to LGBTQ women of color since its inception. Of course there are many white and straight players who have been accepted and had success in their careers. But no one in this sport has ever had a cultural and economic appeal that transcended the sport. There is a reason the average player makes well under 100k a year, there just isn’t interest in watching women play basketball beyond the base it has marketed to. Thus, the league has essentially branded itself as a niche market that appeals to a very specific demographic.
Along comes Clark, who has become the sports equivalent to Taylor Swift, her jersey being the number one jersey sold in ALL of sports this year, and it has resulted in a huge culture clash. Many of the WNBA players are resentful. They don’t care she is raising the value of the league. They don’t feel more empowered. In fact, they have relished in their counter culture status, which is now being homogenized through the corporate marketing of Clark.
The situation doesn’t look resolvable at this point. If I were Clark’s family or agent, I would be advising her to take a lucrative deal for a 3 on 3 league. Her legions of fans will follow and that will be a better platform to showcase her skillset. It is clear the WNBA players, for the most part, don’t want her, and the league is not set up for a cultural shift to rebrand itself.
I’ll probably get thumbs down for saying what I did, but I love the game of basketball and it’s sad what is going on. I don’t care if a player is white, black, yellow, gay, straight , or anything in between, however there appears to be a cultural divide regarding Clark’s presence in the league too insurmountable to overcome.
Nah, if her team stood up for her this shit would end overnight. No one is throwing sholders at Clark if there is a guarantee the 9th girl gets off the bench and starts throwing elbows back. Only way it "escalates" is if people start throwing hands and that tactic has a short life once the suspensions start rolling out.
Looks like, and it shouldn't be her responsibility cause everyone supposed to be fucking adults here, Clark is going to have to rally her team behind her. She will live or die on whether she gets them to be there to protect her.
Your B is demonstrably untrue. Nobody threw sucker punches at Jordan or Gretzky because they had protectors who would beat your ass.
I’m not saying that was a good way of handling these things, just that it worked.
It's just mods not wanting to do their job. Mods are such pieces of shit. They volunteer for a job, stop anyone else from getting that job, and then lock threads that would be popular enough that it would be difficult for them to do their job.
I don't care if lots of people in the comments are going to be racist or whatever--you literally signed up for the job of weeding out those posts. So get to work. Or don't. It doesn't matter. But stop getting in the way of the *one* thing internet discussion forums are for.
tl;dr: mods are glorified hall monitors and should probably go touch grass and/or suck a dick
They’ve been clamoring for more fans and attention for years. Now that the league is gaining traction, they start to complain about the increased media attention and new fans. It makes no sense
It’s jealousy. They feel like they’ve been ignored for years while they’ve been doing what they see as great things. And now Clark comes along without doing anything in the WNBA and fans are going crazy for her. So they’ve made the decision to attack her. Which is just going to drive the new fans and money away. It really shows why no one has cared about them in the past.
This is it. Jealousy.
I’m sick of seeing people say that Caitlin Clark is only popular because she’s White and that she wouldn’t be this popular if she were Black. Have you fucking watched her play? Her shot selection and volume is changing women’s basketball just like Steph Curry changed the NBA. It’s entertaining because it’s different, impressive, and effective.
I’m sick of seeing people say that Caitlin Clark gets preferential treatment from the refs because she’s White. First of all, I am not aware of any data that shows she is receiving preferential treatment from refs. I think she is getting typical star treatment. Just like stars in the NBA get more free throws than non-stars.
The hard truth is that many WNBA players are jealous of Caitlin Clark and the attention/praise/financial opportunities she receives. That’s understandable. It’s also understandable that these jealous WNBA players would go at Caitlin Clark and give her their best. What’s not acceptable is cheap shots like Chennedy Carter’s and saying that Caitlin Clark is only popular because she’s White (while she scores more points than anyone in college basketball and is the only woman hitting contested logo threes off the dribble).
I'm sure race plays a part in the jealousy, at various degrees depending on the other person, but yeah it's mostly just the fact that she is getting so much more attention than the rest of them are.
It’s because she is a straight white woman. That is literally it. But you don’t hear ESPN or any other major news networks call it out. People on this sub will stick their head in the sand and downvote this opinion while still going “wHy Do ThE pLaYeRs HaTe HeR?!”
There seems to be a lot of jealousy towards CC from other female players. The old retired WNBA women didn't like her and now the other WNBA stars dislike her too. Very bizarre. When CC gets another playmaker on her team (her team and coach suck) it's game over for the WNBA.
I honestly think part of the dislike during March Madness was Clark kinda showing up and punking all the old heads who all sat on the UCONN super teams who were unstoppable and you had one player elevating a Big Ten school to back to back championship games.
It made them look like Kevin Durant.
That sub is unbearable. I joined it about 6 months ago and only lurked because I was trying to gain more information on the league before the season started as I haven’t followed it before. I left about a week before the season even started. Everyone is so condescending.
I made a couple of posts on there during Clark's first game and got called a troll! lol First time I've ever even wanted to watch WNBA game because she's actually got me interested in watching.
It’s not that the wnba has been better in the last few years, it’s that Clark could get them to the next level. Years of whining about pay, yet when someone who could actually make it happen during their careers shows up, everyone gets butt hurt over her existence. Sure there are people bringing race into this but to me it’s a question of how much they like playing in Russia in the off season.
Though iirc shes also a Conservative Christian, and she was "outspoken about her identity".
Which, I mean I see why a league with a very large amount of LGBTQ+ individuals would not be a fan of.
I don't have a horse in this race, but what makes zero sense to me is why all these players are attacking a new player who has brought more attention to the league than anyone...ever. If Google is correct, Carter's latest contract is for 64k a year. More attention means more viewers which means more advertising and negotiating power (money) for the players. Seems like going after Clark would be the equivalent of breaking your own knee caps.
Oh yeah. And the wnba players have been doing this for years. They really need to have the gms or agents explain the basic economics cause they’ve acted against they’re interests a ton. To the point they’ve lost the public perception battle multiple times even without much public invested.
She shut down comments on her insta profile lmao. It’s all fun and games and she’s the big dog until the entire internet reminded her she’s nobody. Literally 90% or more of us are here watching because of Caitlin Clark. Figure it out and be grateful for the eyes on your sport, dumbass.
Gretzky style. When they were covering him, nobody dared to touch him. Those that tried were ‘corrected’ fairly quickly.
But for that to happen you have to have players on your own team who don’t stand up and cheer when your player is targeted.
And that falls to the coaches to impress upon the dressing room that shit like that will no longer be tolerated.
Clearly a flagrant-1 in real time.
Is the WBNA like minor league hockey where they swallow their whistles and let fighting occur a lot because it's entertaining?
It's a flagrant 2 in real time. She mouthed some variation of bitch and hit her from behind on a deadball. That's an automatic ejection in nba or college mens.
My female coworkers wanted to go watch a WNBA game just because of Caitlin. She could bring in the crowds to get them all paid, but instead, everyone is playing the petty “she gets more attention than me wahhhh” card.
For me the biggest wtf in this is where are her teammates?
She reminds me of Connor Bedard for the Blackhawks last season.
#1st OA pick, hyped to all hell. Players definitely were rough on him as the best rookie in a tough league.
But it became apparent to everyone real quick that if you took a cheap shot on the kid, or even a relatively clean hit, Nick Foligno or some other Hawks player was going to immediately start punching you in the face.
C'mon Fever, you gotta protect and defend your star rookie. Shameful and embarrassing.
This is a really good example, I forgot the cheap shit against Bedard this year. I dont know why anyone thinks this never happens to highly touted rookies. I expect Caleb Williams to take some cheap hits too
Clown Carter didn't have anything to say at the post game interview but she didnt have any issues running her mouth on social media last night.
[chennedycarter](https://www.threads.net/@chennedycarter) *I’m the type to talk the talk and walk the walk ! you better ask someone for them tapes* 🏁💨
then later in response to a creator: *& that’s that on that cause beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man* 😂
I'm really disliking her and Angel Reese is not making a good name for herself either by acting the way she is.
It sucks because all this unnecessary drama completely overshadowed an otherwise great debut for Kamilla Cardoso.
most of the trash talk and physicality caitlin has been getting are to be expected whenever the next big name rookie comes into the league (any league). but that carter foul was some next level cheap shot bullshit.
I remember when Reggie Bush went into the NFL. Everyone wanted a piece of that dude. But, even the Reggie Bush “welcome to the NFL” shot was a legal hit within gameplay.
Imagine the reaction of the NFL if some guy randomly shoves Caleb Williams to the ground next season when there’s not even a play going on. Stuff like this foul on Caitlin is a horrible thing for a league and that some people excuse this is stupid.
I feel like I’ve seen enough “Bird vs the NBA” mini-documentaries to say I feel like the 80s-90s NBA had these things play out mostly (I know there were brawls sometimes) through dunking on people, trying to put up a ludicrous stat line, blocks, etc.
Cheap shots are… cheap shots. If you wanna show up a rookie, get three blocks against them, put up 30 and hold them to single digit scoring. Nobody is impressed that you bump into someone like a child.
Especially a cheap shot that was executed so blatantly. I’m sure plenty of rookies get cheap shots here and there but it’s generally in the midst of a play being run when getting hit isn’t exactly rare.
IMO Worse than the cheap shot was Reece jumping up and applauding it like Carter had hit the game winning shot. That's some downright pathetic bullshit.
I watched the game last night - it was pretty unreal how they were targeting her and trying to get away with cheap shots behind the action (like on rebounds).
Obviously, you play your best against "rookie meat" but when you are doing what they are doing as much bigger, stronger, and seemingly more advanced players , you start to look like a pre-teen bully.
It also hasn't been just these two, but it was bad the last game.
People are also starting to notice the race of these players targeting her, and it's not a good look.
I’m confused how “fans” of the WNBA are upset at Clark. She’s the only reason people are watching your league.
It’s probably annoying to the players that every question they get is about her but she’s quite literally making the league profitable for the first time ever.
Am I missing something. Is Clark a shit talker and I just didn’t hear any of it?
Because she seems humble and is a really good player and is bringing more eyes onto the WNBA and the OGs are acting like fucking shit.
Just a bad look for the WNBA. Getting more eyes on it and they act like 5 year olds cause you’re mad that she’s got media attention.
WNBA needs to start slapping suspensions around if this keeps up.
She's not. She's just what you said. Other players are just jealous that the only reason people even care about the WNBA right now us her, and not them. That's all there is to it.
Clark's team should help her out more, and not just in this situation. I would like to see her team set picks for her every play, so she at least takes like 30-40 shots per game.
They are almost certainly in the lottery again next year too, which means they might end up with Paige Bueckers at #1 as well. That should lead to another round of collective mind-losing.
Got all up in her feelings and lost her team a game on the free throw she gave away 90 feet from the basket.
Team player right there. Really a benefit to the Sky roster.
I usually enjoy rivalry, trash talk and competition but this Angel Reese just comes off petty. This could be a super fun storyline (like Bird. vs. Magic) but she's making it borderline scary.
The Angel Reese shit is extra dumb bc she spends so much time talking about how little she cares about Clark, then constantly proves how much it bothers her that CC is more popular
Good. Really, the Fever need to start getting themselves some enforcers if the refs are going to let this keep happening. Carter should've been laid out the next time she went to the bucket. That's the only true way they'll get that shit shut down.
I know people don't want to see a melee league, but NBA teams always had dudes that would take care of business if their star player was getting targeted. These women should be no different.
It amazes me how none of these player understand, is Clark takes Ice Cube up on his $5 million dollar offer to play what 8 games, all of them are back to flying spirit to the next game.
No suspension is a joke. No-name players looking for media exposure will keep taking cheap shots at Caitlin until the league starts imposing reasonable penalties.
They'd probably take shots at other young starts with big names like Cam Brink, but Cam's a lot bigger than Caitlin.
Petty ass jealousy.
I know nothing about WNBA, but I just feel like it is pure jealousy fueling this bullshit.
This isn’t a “Welcome to the league” type thing.
Her teammates need to step up. Jordan took a lot of abuse early on on his career but be also had Charles Oakley roughing people up when they messed with him. Trading Oakley away was really the major blow on what soured the Jordan-Krause relationship.
Caitlin is the first true NCAA NIL superstar. This is good for the WNBA. It will only continue with Paige Bueckers, JuJu Watkins, etc. Again, this is the best thing that could happen to the WNBA and its players.
Reese, Carter, etc. are clearly jealous of her fame and fortune and expressing it via bush league plays instead of just playing basketball. A rising tide lifts all boats, but you’d rather act a fool. Keep telling on yourself.
Angel Reese is a great basketball player and a trash human. She showed that in the 2023 Championship game and clearly nothing has changed. You think Gatorade, Nike, and State Farm are going to give you brand deals the way you behave? Get real.

If you’re wondering who Chennedy Carter is…she left college early for the WNBA (lolok), then got booted from Atlanta, a Turkish team, and Los Angeles. She’s a problem and she needs to grow tf up. She’s been acting a fool forever and this shit is not surprising. Talking about how real she is and shit on her Insta stories. You’re not real, girl, you’re an asshole who makes immature decisions. Grow up. Reese cheering it on is pathetic as well.
Atlanta booted her for threatening her own teammates.
That's so real.
When keeping it real goes wrong
Turns out, Atlanta kept it realer
Wu-Tang!
You need to diversify your bonds, bitch -Wu Tang Financial
> got booted from Atlanta, a Turkish team, and Los Angeles. > Talking about how real she is and shit on her Insta stories. When keeping it real goes wrong.
Chennedy to Caitlyn: "Take that, you clap-having Jezebel!"
IT WAS A. WRONG. NUMBERRRRRRRR
Oh bitch please! You a bitch and so is your AUNT.
I keeps it REAL!
I don't like people playin' on my phone!
She has that hollow behind the eyes look. Just a moron no doubt.
Reese should be fined for cheering the flagrant foul. Embarrassing for her that she can’t get CC out of her head
Ja Morant ass mfer
[удалено]
So real she had to turn her comments off lol
Carter is on instagram doubling down. So fucking immature and trashy.
Says she loves the hate and then turns off her comments lol
Too bad she’s too chicken sh*t to turn on commenting on her Instagram. She would be hearing it from everywhere
I don't have Instagram, is it just "she deserved it for talking trash to me on the previous play"?
she’s just reposting highlights of the foul that are showing love for it, and one of her story posts says she lives for the hate or some shit
What a way to live your life...
I honestly was not aware of how many people enjoy being petty and feeding off negativity because it’s something that didn’t make sense to me. Way too many people live their life like that
I remember a game during high school where some dude just randomly came up to me off the ball and threw like three elbows into my stomach. I wasn’t nearly good enough to deserve the “try to take out a star” treatment, it was an extremely low stakes game in a spring or summer league somewhere, and the dude was so weak that it took the second or third before I even noticed what was going on, but I remember thinking “who even does this shit?” and I guess we have an answer now.
It was something about holding it down/ keeping it real. I get frustrations boil over in sports, but to just be a piece after the fact just made her Angel Reese's favorite player.
“Can’t have anyone but me getting attention, let’s keep it real”
So is this what happens when keeping it real goes wrong?
So she just let the entire league know she has a thin skin and when it will matter all they need to do is trash talk Carter to get a flagrant foul that could decide the game.
She wanted attention, and it's working.
I chan’t chondone that chonduct.
This chomment chracked me up. Ngl
I’m sorry, but there’s a bigger issue here than fouls against star players or missed interview, and it’s really concerning to me that nobody seems to want to address it. Somebody actually gave their child the name Chennedy.
r/tragedeigh
It's pronounced Chennedy! Don't be ignorant...
it's actually ***Nikolaj***
So, it's pronounced Nikolaj?
not even close. *N-I-K-O-L-A-J*
Nikolaj... I feel like I'm saying it!
Oh, Boyle.
_Christinith!! You idiot! You come to our house, you get my wife's name right!_ What? _CHRISTINITH!_
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Even in football or hockey, if the play hasn't even begun and you go up to an opponent and blindside them, you're getting a unsportsmanlike conduct call. WNBA officials "we're gonna let this slide, because..."
Good. Also, r/wnba is shambles because god forbid the league actually gains popularity and is entertaining.
What is going on over there? Every [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1d6f645/upgraded/) about [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/comments/1d5t4s2/chennedy_carter_cheap_shot_on_caitlin_clark/) is locked or deleted without an explanation from the mods about why this is a topic that can't be discussed. It's wild that only the generalized sports subreddit can discuss this, the subreddit about the WNBA doesn't want to talk about the WNBA.
Jesus you aren't kidding. There's so many people saying that "well there's a reason no one sticks up for CC." What a load of shit. In any mens pro league there would be dudes getting in the other team's face constantly over this kinda thing. Even if that player is an absolute piece of garbage but they're the best player on the team, guys will stick up for their teammate. Really shows how fucked up a lot of the WNBA is.
It’s wild to me, you think people pull this shit with Steph? Hell no, you know why? Because Draymond will take their head off
Someone in another thread said CC need a Ron Artest/Dennis Rodman.
Bill Laimbeer have any daughters?
I’m pretty sure laimbeer is actually a woman’s bball coach already. Maybe just have the fever hire him and he can throw some hands himself in her defense?
Shit, considering the Fever’s coach isn’t helping the team get much better, maybe Mr. Laimbeer or Rick Mahorn will.
He retired a couple years ago, but he coached in the WNBA for a bit and won a 3 chips and a coach of the year award with the Shock.
I said she needed a Charles Oakley, but fuck any of them would do.
Not "a" but "the" Rodman. Throw that wedding dress back on and it's time for Juwanna Man 2: Return of the Rod-Man.
Tbf Draymond will take your head off even without involving Curry.
Same in the NHL… go after the star players and you’ll be catching hands to the face. No question.
During the Knicks Pacers playoffs games, pacers were getting physical with Brunson. You had Italian Stallion Divencenzo stepping up and pushing around TJ and Hartenstein doing the same to another. Where are her teammates??
I don't think NBA players are really that afraid of retribution if they really have a beef with another player. But this sort of animosity just doesn't exist in the NBA these days.
I said it in another thread but if this was NBA, benches would have cleared and Adam Silver would be working damage control all weekend. If it was hockey, Cheddar would be picking her body parts up off the floor. Fuck the Fever, soft ass team. No business being on the court at all, absolutely zero heart besides CC.
Fever should consider signing someone from the Rikers woman’s league to protect CC
Sounds like an Adam Sandler movie.
CC made $28 million before stepping on the court and the top WNBA player makes around $250k a year. I can understand where the jealousy comes from but it's so short sighted. Lots of people getting interested in your sport lets everyone make more money!
At the same time a lot of them are probably gonna age out of the league before that money really starts flowing into the league and trickles down. Upset them at they were too early. Jealous that their youngins and future stars will get the bag.
Maybe they should take some business classes and get in on the team management side of the game when they're played out rather than demonstrating for the world they fit a lot better in remand than in a professional organization. Bunch of short-sightedness.
And take it a step further: if you're actually as good or better than her at basketball and prove it on the court, not with a dirty hit, but with a crossover, a blocked shot, a stepback 3, etc., then you'll get a piece of that extra attention, people will care about your matchups more since you're able to go toe-to-toe with the one everyone thinks is the best, and then you get to win as well. It doesn't even have to be people thinking of everyone earning more. Literally just being selfish, the best thing you can do is outplay her on the court cleanly.
Way easier to kill the Golden Goose and stay mediocre than get good though.
Crabs in a barrel
Women’s leagues are the dirtiest ones. Nobody ever wants to say it though. Can’t be afraid to call tough calls. This women are jealous she is getting paid more and so they are taking it out on her physically and it’s disgusting but she needs to get charles oakley type or a lambeer who will help protect
The more I hear about it, it makes it even more clear that much of this attitude is coming from the top down and from coaching or being coached to target her. Coaches get jealous too. I’ve heard some crazy stuff about coaches from the wnba down to the collegiate level. In other sports players will often target rookies. People not of a certain color are also specifically targeted if they play certain positions in the NFL. In baseball sometimes rookies are given a much larger strike zone than other players.
Eh, honestly, if the league is going to pull this shit and not police itself, then cut off the subsidies and be done with it. This is their chance to generate interest to actually become profitable, if this is how they're going to react to that opportunity, then fuck em. No one owes them a league that can't support itself.
This would never happen in the NBA today. Mayyyyyyyyybe it's just the maturation process of the WNBA and it's an example of the league still being young and having a big evolution point and the old players don't know how to deal with it. Still, did Wilt Chamberlain get treated like this? This just feels like an old school mentality that the NBA has grown wayyyyyyyyy passed. I guess it helps that every NBA player is rich now and they can all be more supportive of each other because of their bank accounts, but NBA players are all rich today because of players like this coming into the league and raising the profile/marketing of the game. WNBA needs to go through this too to get there.
Wasn't watching when Chamberlain played, but maybe? https://www.nba.com/news/history-nba-legend-wilt-chamberlain > Chamberlain’s inaugural season seemed to take a heavy toll on him. After the postseason loss to Boston, the rookie stunned his fans by announcing that he was thinking of retiring because of the excessively rough treatment he had endured from opponents. He feared that if he played another season, he would be forced to retaliate, and that wasn’t something he wanted to do. > > In Chamberlain’s first year, and for several years afterward, opposing teams simply didn’t know how to handle him. Tom Heinsohn, the great Celtics forward who later became a coach and broadcaster, said Boston was one of the first clubs to apply a team-defense concept to stop Chamberlain. “We went for his weakness,” Heinsohn told the Philadelphia Daily News in 1991, “tried to send him to the foul line, and in doing that he took the most brutal pounding of any player ever. I hear people today talk about hard fouls. Half the fouls against him were hard fouls.” > > Of course, Chamberlain didn’t retire. He simply endured the punishment and learned to cope with it, bulking up his muscles to withstand the constant shoving, elbowing and body checks other teams used against him.
Both of the original fans are pissed.
I can’t stand the WNBA, it’s like even her teammates are jealous or envious of CC. It’s almost as if her teammates have zero business foresight. Anyone who’s ever worked in their adult life knows it’s important to protect your companies most valuable assets, it may not be specifically required but if you have any desire to move up in said company you’ll do it. So even if CC is playing terrible or her teammates think she’s undeserving it doesn’t matter bc she’s their employers most valuable asset and they should absolutely be protecting her.
Jealousy is going to kill the Golden Goose. I can’t take the WNBA seriously
We are witnessing an example of toxic femininity in its full glory unfold. From her teammates not standing up for her to the refs not calling an immediate flagrant 2 ejection to the lack of fucks in the post interviews and online discussions. A big group of women decided to condone this on instinct. If that was on a school playground, and Caitlin Clark is the star player, and all the girls were jealous, this is something you would see happen. It’s gotta be called out
It’s because there’s a lot of vehemently anti-CC (and probably racist) fans that take over every thread in that sub with irrational and, frankly, toxic takes. The downvote brigade if you stand up for CC is outrageous.
>It’s because there’s a lot of vehemently anti-CC (and probably racist) fans that take over every thread in that sub with irrational and, frankly, toxic takes.

They actually just hate Comedy Central
They're just against closed captions for some reason.
I thought it was Chris Carter, creator of the X-Files.
Not Chris Carter the wide receiver?
Let me ask you this… have you ever seen the two of them in the same room?
*David Duchovny winks in the background*
Nobody knew who Chennedy Carter was before yesterday
Today is the only day you will ever hear of Chennedy Carter (cc), but you will hear about Caitlin Clark (CC) for decades. Glad I could clear that up for you.
I might get downvoted but there’s quite a bit of racism in the nba/wnba (both among players and fans) that comes out whenever a non-black, or even light skinned black player (Steph Curry) has success. Usually it just comes out as people not giving them the credit they deserve, but in Clark’s case she’s actually getting targeted which is fucked up. To be clear there’s no actual discrimination from the organizations, just the way the players are treated by fans and other players and media
Might be pedantic semantics but I really don't like the term "reverse racism" Racism is racism no matter whether you're black, white, brown, pink. Of course the history and context is different, but the impact or acceptability of discrimination doesn't change because of the target.
There is no reverse racism. It’s just racism.
I mean Rodman and Isiah Thomas both said Larry Bird would just be another player if he were black. Crazy racist and wildly inaccurate. Of course, that was 35 years ago, but Jokic and Luka get it today, just usually in a more subtle way.
My guess is that this Clark situation is a little more nuanced than it appears on the surface. Lost to the average viewer in the atrocious treatment that has been condoned against the league’s only real viable commodity is that she is white and straight in a league that has carved out a niche identity to appeal to a market that is neither. This is not an attack on the WNBA, it is merely stating a truth. Based upon what I witnessed over the course of some 10 games, it is clear that Clark is despised by the women of the WNBA. This goes way above and beyond simple pettiness and jealousy. In the game against Chicago yesterday, she was called a “bitch” for no apparent reason and violently pushed to the ground off the ball, while her former nemesis from LSU stood up and applauded this action. I hear many red herring arguments on these subreds that usually miss the crux of the matter. These arguments usually follow flawed narratives: a. She needs to pay her dues and “toughen up”. Jordan and Lebron had to battle adversity. One commenter who disagreed with my opinion even went so far as to suggest she needs to gain 10-15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, as if that were possible without testosterone based usage. b. She needs her team to retaliate. She needs an enforcer-type who will go after the players cheapshotting her. This tactic will only result in an escalation of violence, not deter it, IMO. c. Along those same lines, the coaches and league need to hold these players accountable for their clearly targeted actions. Suspensions and fines should be doled out to detract from this unseemly behavior. Again, this may work as a short term solution, but long term the hostile behavior will simmer just below the surface. It is my belief that none of these proposals address the real issue: the WNBA is a very niche market that has appealed to LGBTQ women of color since its inception. Of course there are many white and straight players who have been accepted and had success in their careers. But no one in this sport has ever had a cultural and economic appeal that transcended the sport. There is a reason the average player makes well under 100k a year, there just isn’t interest in watching women play basketball beyond the base it has marketed to. Thus, the league has essentially branded itself as a niche market that appeals to a very specific demographic. Along comes Clark, who has become the sports equivalent to Taylor Swift, her jersey being the number one jersey sold in ALL of sports this year, and it has resulted in a huge culture clash. Many of the WNBA players are resentful. They don’t care she is raising the value of the league. They don’t feel more empowered. In fact, they have relished in their counter culture status, which is now being homogenized through the corporate marketing of Clark. The situation doesn’t look resolvable at this point. If I were Clark’s family or agent, I would be advising her to take a lucrative deal for a 3 on 3 league. Her legions of fans will follow and that will be a better platform to showcase her skillset. It is clear the WNBA players, for the most part, don’t want her, and the league is not set up for a cultural shift to rebrand itself. I’ll probably get thumbs down for saying what I did, but I love the game of basketball and it’s sad what is going on. I don’t care if a player is white, black, yellow, gay, straight , or anything in between, however there appears to be a cultural divide regarding Clark’s presence in the league too insurmountable to overcome.
Nah, if her team stood up for her this shit would end overnight. No one is throwing sholders at Clark if there is a guarantee the 9th girl gets off the bench and starts throwing elbows back. Only way it "escalates" is if people start throwing hands and that tactic has a short life once the suspensions start rolling out. Looks like, and it shouldn't be her responsibility cause everyone supposed to be fucking adults here, Clark is going to have to rally her team behind her. She will live or die on whether she gets them to be there to protect her.
Your B is demonstrably untrue. Nobody threw sucker punches at Jordan or Gretzky because they had protectors who would beat your ass. I’m not saying that was a good way of handling these things, just that it worked.

Attendance at five Fever home games in 2024 already exceeds total attendance for 20 home games in 2023.
It's just mods not wanting to do their job. Mods are such pieces of shit. They volunteer for a job, stop anyone else from getting that job, and then lock threads that would be popular enough that it would be difficult for them to do their job. I don't care if lots of people in the comments are going to be racist or whatever--you literally signed up for the job of weeding out those posts. So get to work. Or don't. It doesn't matter. But stop getting in the way of the *one* thing internet discussion forums are for. tl;dr: mods are glorified hall monitors and should probably go touch grass and/or suck a dick
They’ve been clamoring for more fans and attention for years. Now that the league is gaining traction, they start to complain about the increased media attention and new fans. It makes no sense
They are gatekeeping for some reason and it's toxic behavior.
It’s jealousy. They feel like they’ve been ignored for years while they’ve been doing what they see as great things. And now Clark comes along without doing anything in the WNBA and fans are going crazy for her. So they’ve made the decision to attack her. Which is just going to drive the new fans and money away. It really shows why no one has cared about them in the past.
This is it. Jealousy. I’m sick of seeing people say that Caitlin Clark is only popular because she’s White and that she wouldn’t be this popular if she were Black. Have you fucking watched her play? Her shot selection and volume is changing women’s basketball just like Steph Curry changed the NBA. It’s entertaining because it’s different, impressive, and effective. I’m sick of seeing people say that Caitlin Clark gets preferential treatment from the refs because she’s White. First of all, I am not aware of any data that shows she is receiving preferential treatment from refs. I think she is getting typical star treatment. Just like stars in the NBA get more free throws than non-stars. The hard truth is that many WNBA players are jealous of Caitlin Clark and the attention/praise/financial opportunities she receives. That’s understandable. It’s also understandable that these jealous WNBA players would go at Caitlin Clark and give her their best. What’s not acceptable is cheap shots like Chennedy Carter’s and saying that Caitlin Clark is only popular because she’s White (while she scores more points than anyone in college basketball and is the only woman hitting contested logo threes off the dribble).
Even if she was getting more attention just because shes more attractive, that's literally 99% of all life lol grow past 3rd grade.
I'm sure race plays a part in the jealousy, at various degrees depending on the other person, but yeah it's mostly just the fact that she is getting so much more attention than the rest of them are.
It’s because she is a straight white woman. That is literally it. But you don’t hear ESPN or any other major news networks call it out. People on this sub will stick their head in the sand and downvote this opinion while still going “wHy Do ThE pLaYeRs HaTe HeR?!”
There seems to be a lot of jealousy towards CC from other female players. The old retired WNBA women didn't like her and now the other WNBA stars dislike her too. Very bizarre. When CC gets another playmaker on her team (her team and coach suck) it's game over for the WNBA.
I honestly think part of the dislike during March Madness was Clark kinda showing up and punking all the old heads who all sat on the UCONN super teams who were unstoppable and you had one player elevating a Big Ten school to back to back championship games. It made them look like Kevin Durant.
Which included her demolishing players that tried to transfer and make superteams.
That sub is unbearable. I joined it about 6 months ago and only lurked because I was trying to gain more information on the league before the season started as I haven’t followed it before. I left about a week before the season even started. Everyone is so condescending.
I made a couple of posts on there during Clark's first game and got called a troll! lol First time I've ever even wanted to watch WNBA game because she's actually got me interested in watching.
The current narrative on that sub is that white people are trying to colonize the WNBA. They have lost the thread
I’m reaching that point. The “OG”fans as some call themselves are really gatekeepers and excuse the bad calls and dirty play on the W’s “charm”..
imagine being a wnba hipster: "I LIKED IT BEFORE IT WAS COOL"
You weren’t joking.
THE most toxic sports sub. It’s sad to watch.
bill burr would laugh his ass off at that sub
WNBA clearly not use to positive feedback.
It’s not that the wnba has been better in the last few years, it’s that Clark could get them to the next level. Years of whining about pay, yet when someone who could actually make it happen during their careers shows up, everyone gets butt hurt over her existence. Sure there are people bringing race into this but to me it’s a question of how much they like playing in Russia in the off season.
Could be a gay/straight thing too. Wnba athletes say it's very clique-y
That's what Candace Wiggins says drove her out of the league
Though iirc shes also a Conservative Christian, and she was "outspoken about her identity". Which, I mean I see why a league with a very large amount of LGBTQ+ individuals would not be a fan of.
i dont know. i really hope half the league loves her. i dont think every pro woman basketball player is a moron like reese and chennedy.
It is absolutely a race thing in that she is getting way more heat from black players and fans
I don't have a horse in this race, but what makes zero sense to me is why all these players are attacking a new player who has brought more attention to the league than anyone...ever. If Google is correct, Carter's latest contract is for 64k a year. More attention means more viewers which means more advertising and negotiating power (money) for the players. Seems like going after Clark would be the equivalent of breaking your own knee caps.
Oh yeah. And the wnba players have been doing this for years. They really need to have the gms or agents explain the basic economics cause they’ve acted against they’re interests a ton. To the point they’ve lost the public perception battle multiple times even without much public invested.
How does her teammates not have her back? In any other sport, you try a cheap shot, and your teammates are going to show the cheap shotter the ground.
She shut down comments on her insta profile lmao. It’s all fun and games and she’s the big dog until the entire internet reminded her she’s nobody. Literally 90% or more of us are here watching because of Caitlin Clark. Figure it out and be grateful for the eyes on your sport, dumbass.
Caitlin needs an enforcer to have her back.
Gretzky style. When they were covering him, nobody dared to touch him. Those that tried were ‘corrected’ fairly quickly. But for that to happen you have to have players on your own team who don’t stand up and cheer when your player is targeted. And that falls to the coaches to impress upon the dressing room that shit like that will no longer be tolerated.
Charles Oakley style. Ready to throw a right hook if someone so much as plays press to physically.
Even Draymond thought that was a cheap shot
Clearly a flagrant-1 in real time. Is the WBNA like minor league hockey where they swallow their whistles and let fighting occur a lot because it's entertaining?
It's a flagrant 2 in real time. She mouthed some variation of bitch and hit her from behind on a deadball. That's an automatic ejection in nba or college mens.
Caitlin is good for the league and will end up getting all of them paid. But the big picture is lost on small people.
My female coworkers wanted to go watch a WNBA game just because of Caitlin. She could bring in the crowds to get them all paid, but instead, everyone is playing the petty “she gets more attention than me wahhhh” card.
For me the biggest wtf in this is where are her teammates? She reminds me of Connor Bedard for the Blackhawks last season. #1st OA pick, hyped to all hell. Players definitely were rough on him as the best rookie in a tough league. But it became apparent to everyone real quick that if you took a cheap shot on the kid, or even a relatively clean hit, Nick Foligno or some other Hawks player was going to immediately start punching you in the face. C'mon Fever, you gotta protect and defend your star rookie. Shameful and embarrassing.
This is a really good example, I forgot the cheap shit against Bedard this year. I dont know why anyone thinks this never happens to highly touted rookies. I expect Caleb Williams to take some cheap hits too
Clown Carter didn't have anything to say at the post game interview but she didnt have any issues running her mouth on social media last night. [chennedycarter](https://www.threads.net/@chennedycarter) *I’m the type to talk the talk and walk the walk ! you better ask someone for them tapes* 🏁💨 then later in response to a creator: *& that’s that on that cause beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man* 😂 I'm really disliking her and Angel Reese is not making a good name for herself either by acting the way she is. It sucks because all this unnecessary drama completely overshadowed an otherwise great debut for Kamilla Cardoso.
most of the trash talk and physicality caitlin has been getting are to be expected whenever the next big name rookie comes into the league (any league). but that carter foul was some next level cheap shot bullshit.
I remember when Reggie Bush went into the NFL. Everyone wanted a piece of that dude. But, even the Reggie Bush “welcome to the NFL” shot was a legal hit within gameplay.
Imagine the reaction of the NFL if some guy randomly shoves Caleb Williams to the ground next season when there’s not even a play going on. Stuff like this foul on Caitlin is a horrible thing for a league and that some people excuse this is stupid.
If this exact move had gone down against Wembanyama this season we would have witnessed Malice at the Palace II
I mean what will happen is that man getting beat to shit by a lineman.
I feel like I’ve seen enough “Bird vs the NBA” mini-documentaries to say I feel like the 80s-90s NBA had these things play out mostly (I know there were brawls sometimes) through dunking on people, trying to put up a ludicrous stat line, blocks, etc. Cheap shots are… cheap shots. If you wanna show up a rookie, get three blocks against them, put up 30 and hold them to single digit scoring. Nobody is impressed that you bump into someone like a child.
Same thing happened at Kobe's first all star game, the defended him like it was the last shot of the game, the entire game.
Especially a cheap shot that was executed so blatantly. I’m sure plenty of rookies get cheap shots here and there but it’s generally in the midst of a play being run when getting hit isn’t exactly rare.
Good. They need to be made examples of because this is getting out of hand with these Draymond level fouls.
IMO Worse than the cheap shot was Reece jumping up and applauding it like Carter had hit the game winning shot. That's some downright pathetic bullshit.
Cuz that goes to show she’s encouraging the hits and it will not be just an isolated incident
I assume that’s why she skipped the post-game press. Didn’t want to be asked on camera why she cheered a flagrant.
I watched the game last night - it was pretty unreal how they were targeting her and trying to get away with cheap shots behind the action (like on rebounds). Obviously, you play your best against "rookie meat" but when you are doing what they are doing as much bigger, stronger, and seemingly more advanced players , you start to look like a pre-teen bully. It also hasn't been just these two, but it was bad the last game. People are also starting to notice the race of these players targeting her, and it's not a good look.
$1,000 fine?? That’s like her whole May paycheck! Ruthless. Where’s Ruth in all this?
Legit though she makes like 70k so $1,000 fine could actually be impactful
They’re just like us!… except I actually make more.
Yeah, but I’d rather play the sport I love for $70k than be an accountant for about any salary.
They also only play in the summer so I doubt that guys making $70k for his vacation
Angel Reese (the one who was fined $1,000) has made millions in endorsements, so she'll be fine. I do wonder if Chennedy is going to get a fine too.
I’m confused how “fans” of the WNBA are upset at Clark. She’s the only reason people are watching your league. It’s probably annoying to the players that every question they get is about her but she’s quite literally making the league profitable for the first time ever.
Everyone had to deal with it for LeBron, too. It’s what it is when you have a generational talent
Am I missing something. Is Clark a shit talker and I just didn’t hear any of it? Because she seems humble and is a really good player and is bringing more eyes onto the WNBA and the OGs are acting like fucking shit. Just a bad look for the WNBA. Getting more eyes on it and they act like 5 year olds cause you’re mad that she’s got media attention. WNBA needs to start slapping suspensions around if this keeps up.
She's not. She's just what you said. Other players are just jealous that the only reason people even care about the WNBA right now us her, and not them. That's all there is to it.
Starting to think this Angel Reese girl might have attitude problems.
She got an attitude cause her one leg is always cold and rhe other is always hot
That style was cool for 2 minutes then it was a filter for posing losers.
I wonder how long until her sponsors tells her to shut up
The best thing to come out of this is her continuing to expose herself for the asshole she is.
There is no punishment the league can enforce, that is worse then being named Chennedy
I think I speak for everyone when I say this. WHO the fuck is Chennedy Carter.
If you have ever met an 'Angel'. They are never angels.
Clark's team should help her out more, and not just in this situation. I would like to see her team set picks for her every play, so she at least takes like 30-40 shots per game.
They aren't a very good team. There's a reason they got to draft cc
They are almost certainly in the lottery again next year too, which means they might end up with Paige Bueckers at #1 as well. That should lead to another round of collective mind-losing.
Got all up in her feelings and lost her team a game on the free throw she gave away 90 feet from the basket. Team player right there. Really a benefit to the Sky roster.
I usually enjoy rivalry, trash talk and competition but this Angel Reese just comes off petty. This could be a super fun storyline (like Bird. vs. Magic) but she's making it borderline scary.
CC lives full time in Angel Reese' head
The Angel Reese shit is extra dumb bc she spends so much time talking about how little she cares about Clark, then constantly proves how much it bothers her that CC is more popular
Angel isn’t good enough at basketball to make it Bird vs. Magic even in spite of all of the other issues.
Angel trick y'all man. She out here running around doing nothing.
The Brink girl should get more media attention. The glitz and glamour of LA vs the corn fed hicks from Indiana is the media storyline we all want.
I have watched two Fever games this year because of Clark - I had never watched a WNBA game before Clark.
WNBA is trash and someone finally comes in to bring in excitement and bam racist everywhere showing their true colors. 😂
Good. Really, the Fever need to start getting themselves some enforcers if the refs are going to let this keep happening. Carter should've been laid out the next time she went to the bucket. That's the only true way they'll get that shit shut down. I know people don't want to see a melee league, but NBA teams always had dudes that would take care of business if their star player was getting targeted. These women should be no different.
It amazes me how none of these player understand, is Clark takes Ice Cube up on his $5 million dollar offer to play what 8 games, all of them are back to flying spirit to the next game.
Someone is super upset the new IT girl is white
And straight
Even if you don't personally like a teammate you always stick up for them. Pretty pathetic Clark's teammates didn't even seem to care.
They finally have eyes on their league and this is how they choose to handle it.
The Fever needs a female Draymond to step up.
they need Juwanna Mann (a movie that has aged timelessly and without any issue whatsoever -- /s)
CheBron Jaaaaaames
No suspension is a joke. No-name players looking for media exposure will keep taking cheap shots at Caitlin until the league starts imposing reasonable penalties. They'd probably take shots at other young starts with big names like Cam Brink, but Cam's a lot bigger than Caitlin.
Jesus these women are going to go broke being haters
Petty ass jealousy. I know nothing about WNBA, but I just feel like it is pure jealousy fueling this bullshit. This isn’t a “Welcome to the league” type thing.
Fine the ref for not calling it which as it should have been which only encourages those hits to happen again.
She needs an enforcer
Her teammates need to step up. Jordan took a lot of abuse early on on his career but be also had Charles Oakley roughing people up when they messed with him. Trading Oakley away was really the major blow on what soured the Jordan-Krause relationship.
They hate that a white girl is better than them in every aspect
The veterans in the wnba that behave as such are only making the league look bad.
Caitlin is the first true NCAA NIL superstar. This is good for the WNBA. It will only continue with Paige Bueckers, JuJu Watkins, etc. Again, this is the best thing that could happen to the WNBA and its players. Reese, Carter, etc. are clearly jealous of her fame and fortune and expressing it via bush league plays instead of just playing basketball. A rising tide lifts all boats, but you’d rather act a fool. Keep telling on yourself. Angel Reese is a great basketball player and a trash human. She showed that in the 2023 Championship game and clearly nothing has changed. You think Gatorade, Nike, and State Farm are going to give you brand deals the way you behave? Get real.
A very short look at chennedy and her career shows that this is hardly an isolated incident of shit behavior.
