🔥 WNBA’s Targeting of Caitlin Clark Is Out of Control — And Everyone’s Finally Seeing It

Basketball in the 80s and 90s was rough. If you’ve seen the Bad Boy Pistons try to shut down Michael Jordan, you know exactly what physical play looked like. But at least they didn’t pretend to be nice about it.

Today in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark is facing a modern-day version of that — only this time, it’s hidden behind fake smiles and victim cards.

🏀 The Hit That Sparked It All

It started during the WNBA playoffs. DiJonai Carrington of the Connecticut Sun slashed her hand down across Clark’s face. No whistle. No apology. And when asked about it later?

She laughed.

“Did you mean to hit her in the eye?” a reporter asked.
“No,” Carrington smirked. “I didn’t even realize I hit her.”

Yet the replays showed something different: Carrington turning her hand into a claw and swiping nowhere near the ball.

👀 No Accountability — But Full-On Victimhood

Instead of acknowledging what happened, Carrington played innocent, then flipped the script — acting like she was under attack when a veteran journalist asked a valid question.

Even worse? The WNBA sided with Carrington, going as far as to publicly condemn the reporter and attempt to get her credentials revoked.

This isn’t just bad PR — it’s a cover-up culture.

😤 Then Came Angel Reese… and the Hits Kept Coming

During a Fever vs. Sky matchup, Angel Reese cheered when teammate Kennedy Carter body-checked Clark to the ground. No concern. Just clapping and smiling from the bench.

When asked about it?

“I’m just having my teammates’ back,” Angel said.
Then added: “I’ll take the villain role. People will remember me too — not just Caitlin.”

🤕 The Second Incident: Angel Hits Clark in the Head — And Plays Dumb Again

In a later game, Angel Reese slapped Caitlin across the head going for what she claimed was a block. Her hand wasn’t even close to the ball. It was a reckless foul, and the refs upgraded it to flagrant.

And how did Angel react?

By shaking her head like she was the one being wronged.

📉 The Final Blow — And the Victim Card Comes Out

After being outplayed by Caitlin, who scored 31 points and had 12 assists while Reese struggled to even get a double-double, Angel suddenly sat out the rest of the season with a “mystery injury.”

Then came the tweet:

“The media has villainized me for two years. I’m tired of the narrative.”

The irony? She created that narrative herself — taunting Caitlin in college, cheering when she got hit, and refusing to take accountability the whole time.

📊 The Truth Is in the Numbers

The media keeps saying: “The WNBA is about more than one player.”

But the numbers? They say otherwise.

2023 WNBA Finals avg: 728,000 viewers
Fever vs. Sun (Round 1, Game 1): 1.84 million viewers
Game 2? 2.5 million viewers — despite competing with NFL

Caitlin Clark isn’t just boosting the WNBA. She’s saving it.

💬 Final Thoughts: The WNBA May Be About More Than One Player — But Right Now, It’s Really Not

Critics love to say the WNBA doesn’t revolve around one player. But facts don’t lie:

Clark is the one drawing crowds.
She’s the one elevating ratings.
She’s the one putting the league on the map.

Yet she’s the one being targeted, attacked, mocked — and then blamed.

That’s not competition. That’s envy, masked as hustle.
