The big question is, "Where in the world is the commissioner in this mess?" The commissioner should be fixing the refs. I guess you can't rely on a commissioner who fixed the Championship game so that her dress would be fitting.
She was busy colluding and having a dress made to honor predetermined winner of so-called championship as well as predetermined MVP. Total blind eye to criminally incompetent refs. NBA needs to put their people in place to promote the real face and expedite growth instead of propping up frauds who can't even make layups as professional players.
Angel Reese is absolutely far beyond hilarious. My grandbabies could probably outshoot Reese -- even if were blindfolded. Reese like,her fellow teammates --could never come close,to the raw natural skills & talent of ROTY Caitlin Clark. Even if only in their dreams. 😂😂😂😂😂 Better luck in the future Reese & SKY J M O & T
The players of this league are so jealous of Clark’s ability to play outstanding basketball, but also attract and build fans. Sad how jealous the old players are and can’t stand to how bad they played back in their day.
The announcers are always complicit too. When Seattle center went up, she knew she would make contact. If you collide in the air, it doesn't matter if you get a hand on the ball, a foul isn't only contact on your arms, it is also the body. And when they aren't in the air, the announcers will call a foul "physicality". The announcers cover for the terrible refereeing.
Yes, it was just too obvious. ESPN was conspicuous as well in their deliberate avoidance of these flagrant unsafe patterns throughout the season. It's targeting a player.
This is no different from how they call bs in men's sports because they are tasked to do so. Nothing will happen to them because they are doing what they are told to do. In an HONORABLE game with HONORABLE ref's, that kind of personal foul would have gotten a player ejected from the game and perhaps even the league - but this is "entertainment" so...
@@harrysantichen7091 banned from any refferres jobs, because they are a dangerous to up and come, personally the should be taken to court and sued. Because they knew, is to be paid, and they tell who was behind the plot.
If the eye in the sky 3rd ref picks up the flagrant fouls and the refs fail to , then the ref should be fined ,we see then how many they BLATANTLY miss then
If you watch a college game the officials are really on the ball , They called even the smallest infraction ,,The game will have to shape up for next year or the WNBA will be unwatchable
What are you talking about? The refs ,in the games against the Sun in the playoffs, called fouls against Boston that were so small you couldn’t see them.
No! The referees should have been fired! For some reason they are being told to dismiss all fouls against CC no matter what... the refs are doing what their boss is telling them to do! Who is the referee's irresponsible boss?
THIS SEASON FOR CAITLIN WAS SO NOT RIGHT... SHE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE. EVEN THE OFFICIAL'S WERE AGAINST HER.😮😮😮😮😮😮 HOW CAN YOU WIN,IF YOUR PLAYING AGAINST AN ENTIRE TEAM AND OFFICIALS 😊😊😊😊
And it wasn't only Caitlin who was targeted . The refs also took Aliyah Boston out of the play by calling multiple fouls against Boston and having her benched . I can no longer guess who is getting fouled and for what reason.
Put both NBA and WNBA refs into the same group, so the refs work both games. The NBA needs to fix this ref problem in WNBA or stop subsidizing unprofessional league.
No it doesn't look like a "freak accident". From the alternative angle you clearly see that Carrington's eye-poke falls into the "Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt" guilty as intentional.
Stopped watching the NBA because of horrible officials. Also stopped buying NBA merchandise too.. I'll not watch those teams with professional athletes who can't control themselves. Real basketball is beautiful and powerful. If CC is not in the game, I'm not interested. At least her yeam is playing real basketball, and it's glorious.
What is it about the people perpetrating flagrant fouls against Ms. Clark? Looks like the same people guilty of "fouls," which we can not speak of since you cannot hold everyone to the same standard.
After a few games it was obvious that they were being paid for not calling fouls against other teams and especially Catlin Clark, not one, but all of the referee's, but did call them against Catlin. The complaint to the commissionors, but they are pretending not to be aware., So they already a part of it also. Money is was in many hands. The ownerships out of fear were all involved.
Agree. She is talented and can do golf or anything she wants to. No need to tolerate the ghetto assault and battery. She should have file assault charges multiple times.
It is really petty that the "stars" and veterans of the WNBA are not thankful for the attention Clark has brought their sport. I personally believe it is the attention she is getting from the NBA greats.
Assault is what it is. Not a basketball play at all. It was hitting someone blindside trying to injure them. I would have pressed charges on Carter , Chicago, and the wnba.
Head contact in Rugby is a Yellow card (10 minute benching) can be upgrade under review to Red card = suspension up to 8 weeks. Protect your product. Player safety is a refs job.
She is great and what they're doing is wrong, but it makes her look even better that she can still beat all of them even though they are putting her through all this bulshit!!!
It all points to Engelbert, from the no foul calls to the phantom foul calls all the way up to 'giving' the playoff trophy to the Liberty in her New York City dress for an overtime win when the Lynx clearly won in regulation. Engelbert and the refs need to be replaced.
Why Don't Caitlin 3:31 Lawyer Up and Sue The WNBA And To Learn Self Defence She should do That For Her Self and Where Is Caitlin Clark Family Just Sit And Watch They Need to Hire A Top Law Firm and Sue The WNBA and The Refs
What Carter did to Clark would have brought an ejection in the NBA. Problem was that was just the beginning for Clark. Physical play is one thing but Targeting is a call immediate disipline. The WNBA officials used this past are a poor excuse for reffing games and should all be replaced because of it or at least fined severely. The eye poke by DC should have her banned from the league, there is no room for that in this or any sport.
wnba refs are incompetent corrupt or both, at least the majority of them are, if they want to keep the interest, they need a big change. Only the media thinks there is a rivalry between Reese and Clark, they are not in the same league
The corruption is clearly recorded, and it starts at the top. From the commissioner to the individual players, they deserve to be fined and suspended. I wish Caitlin would move to a European league just to see this joke of a league fall flat on their a$$3$. How much money would they lose when the arenas have less than 2000 attendees?
I was a new fan of the WNBA this year. However, I was appalled at the behavior of certain players, coaches, refs, announcers, and the Commissioner. If this disgusting racist, lesbian, thug violence continues, I'm through with the WNBA!
wnba refs are corrupted they making more money the old way deciding who wins .. how else can AJ go threw the whole season without getting any fouls she’s the only okayer i see going games without getting fouls…
I just learned something about why the wnba is a losing sport. There is a 37 year old that plays professional basketball. No athlete in a professional sport with top notch players has anybody that is 37 unless it's like a Labron or MJ.
Every one of the 2024 WNBA refs need to be, should be and deserve to be fined and fired for their OBVIOUS and FLAGRANT disregard not only for Clark’s safety and wellbeing but for disregarding the rules of basketball, fair play, and sportsmanship! Refs, umps and any person officiating sports contests especially at the pro level should be absolutely required to adhere to the rules of the game or contest, fair play and sportsmanship! In this case it’s basketball. How can anyone trust 2024’s WNBA refs to officiate a game properly?? IMO they are contemptible and corrupt and are bringing down the league along with the jealous hater players that Clark used all season and the silent higher echelon of the WNBA itself!!
There is no way the eye gauge looks accidental. Watch that player's history of the same play situation. Watch any player's body and hand movements. Watch her eyes focus on her fingers as she guides them into the eye socket. No one attempts to contest a shot in that manner. Try to find some replays that do. Make comparisons. These are players and teams with an agenda to antagonize, inflict unsafe contact. Much more...
these are not proper referees! they need sacking and charged with accomplice to outright assault! Wnba is full of crappy black jealous below average players ... all the 'old school' saying this is what happens??? Why??? Coz you been there 20+ years??? Coz you earned your colours??? Just straight up jealousy coz caitlin is a TOP basketball player and they are NOT! I ONLY WATCH BECAUSE OF CAITLIN!!! Go Caitlin!!! And in my country I'm considered black😂😂
What’s being done to stop this idiocy? The refs are obviously dirty. The commissioner and her staff aren’t doing anything. About the only recourse left is to press charges, get police involved, and assault and battery charges should be brought against players that are obviously trying to injure CC in some cases severely enough to end her career!
This is the difference between male and female sports, Males would of supported their teammate and a brawl would of ensued. Watching all these fouls and what not and some of her games, I've notice none of Caitlin Clark's teammates ever have her back. Not a single time did one of her teammates get ejected or a foul called on them for sticking up for her.
Her teammates need to be coming to her defense. She needs her 'Dennis Rodman'. When the opposing team goes to hard on Caitlin they need to know they are gonna get it right back.
Coach White: Sign a rugby player that has played basketball at a high level in college or sign a basketball player that has played rugby at a high level. Remember Wayne Gretzky (NHL), Tom Brady (NFL), were protected by the league because FANS pay to see stars perform. Both leagues wrote rules that protected box office marquis athletes that drove up the profit margin. They also paid enforcers and offensive lineman more money to protect the fan draw of the extraordinary talents.
It's beyond "fouls" and into, IMHO, battery that should be criminally prosecuted. And take the Ref's in as accomplices to if it can be shown they let it happen.
I hope she leaves to better things . I hate watching these jealous hacks trying to play a game they suck at! And these butch Ref's suck too! The "W" is done thank God!
I thought that it just me that noticed that. I also thought that her teammates should have jumped in to help her. They do not have that I got your back as long as you are on my team thing.
Come on at 2:41 in this video, it was not the body check. Jackie young swung a hard backward blow with her elbow to Caitlins face. It looked flagrant to me. !!!!!

😂 Commissioner really doesn’t deserve that title more like a statue does nothing
Counting her % of the profits.

J M O & T
She was there all the time orchestrating everything
Imagine , the experienced pros have to be dirty and cheat in order to beat Rookie Caitlin Clark !
Nicely stated.
we called that bully's !! and all should be suspended for years !!! these bully's prove they cant play @ all
@ precisely!
Fire all of the WNBA refs and hire NCAA refs at 2 x what they make now, honest games.
Just shows what sad little children they are.
Evidence: the black eye. The purposeful closing of Carrington's fingers into an eye jab was with intention.
The players of this league are so jealous of Clark’s ability to play outstanding basketball, but also attract and build fans. Sad how jealous the old players are and can’t stand to how bad they played back in their day.

Yes, it was just too obvious. ESPN was conspicuous as well in their deliberate avoidance of these flagrant unsafe patterns throughout the season. It's targeting a player.
The referees should have been given a fine and a suspension. This will stop this from happening.
Or, the referee should be fired!
Yes, officiating needs to be based on merit. Easy to train, mitigate and alleviate unsafe play. They need to be incentivized.
This is no different from how they call bs in men's sports because they are tasked to do so. Nothing will happen to them because they are doing what they are told to do. In an HONORABLE game with HONORABLE ref's, that kind of personal foul would have gotten a player ejected from the game and perhaps even the league - but this is "entertainment" so...

Refs were 'following orders' from above.
The WNBA should hire REAL PROFESSIONAL referees, and get rid of these pretenders!
That's just it. They can't defend her. That is why they hard foul her. She embarrassed all of them.
The WNBA needs to get real WNBA Officials, and fire the WNBA Officials they have with a big fine.
We are not surprised why. Before these became WNBA players, they all needed to be check for bad attitude before they endanger someone worth watching.
If the eye in the sky 3rd ref picks up the flagrant fouls and the refs fail to , then the ref should be fined ,we see then how many they BLATANTLY miss then

What are you talking about? The refs ,in the games against the Sun in the playoffs, called fouls against Boston that were so small you couldn’t see them.
Refs should be in court for this evil actions against Clark 🎉 it’s amazing that she did not get hurt.
The question is, "When will she get seriously injured"? Some of these eomen could have charges brought for intentional attempt to harm.
Clark is a breath of fresh air in this dumpster fire
Get rid of those referees!
No! The referees should have been fired!
For some reason they are being told to dismiss all fouls against CC no matter what... the refs are doing what their boss is telling them to do! Who is the referee's irresponsible boss?
THIS SEASON FOR CAITLIN WAS SO NOT RIGHT... SHE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE. EVEN THE OFFICIAL'S WERE AGAINST HER.😮😮😮😮😮😮 HOW CAN YOU WIN,IF YOUR PLAYING AGAINST AN ENTIRE TEAM AND OFFICIALS 😊😊😊😊
That's why she was the MVP in many people's opinion. If Aja had the same targeting against her, she would have had half as many points.
Why are these players who blatantly break rules, not suspended for a certain length of time.
Then she ran down the court with a victorious smile on her face and dancing down the court.
And it wasn't only Caitlin who was targeted . The refs also took Aliyah Boston out of the play by calling multiple fouls against Boston and having her benched .
I can no longer guess who is getting fouled and for what reason.
It’s frustrating.

Real basketball is beautiful and powerful. If CC is not in the game, I'm not interested. At least her yeam is playing real basketball, and it's glorious.
The whole league is corrupt, and should pay her a fine personally.
What is it about the people perpetrating flagrant fouls against Ms. Clark? Looks like the same people guilty of "fouls," which we can not speak of since you cannot hold everyone to the same standard.

Caitlin, just leave the WNBA. it's a shit league and obviously they don't want to get better.
Agree. She is talented and can do golf or anything she wants to. No need to tolerate the ghetto assault and battery. She should have file assault charges multiple times.
The WNBA should be disband and start a new league. The WNBA is only for the money and the player's run the league not the coaches😢
Where is the commissioner? This is maddening.
I despise the WNBA REF’s! They are horrible! I boycotted the playoffs in order to send a message.
I sincerely hope that Caitlin Clark goes to the European league since she gets no support from her teammates or the officials/
I mean I still don’t get why they bully and hate her like this? What they doing to her is seriously crazy work.
Professional jealousy
Are you kidding, reese couldn't pack CC's sneakers to the game. Uncoordinated hack at best.
Jealous of the better player
It is really petty that the "stars" and veterans of the WNBA are not thankful for the attention Clark has brought their sport. I personally believe it is the attention she is getting from the NBA greats.
Assault is what it is. Not a basketball play at all. It was hitting someone blindside trying to injure them. I would have pressed charges on Carter , Chicago, and the wnba.
Englebert needs to go!! She didn't look particularly excited at the draft and knew Clark was going to change the league. Englebert is dirty!
What a bunch of thugs. Stop this stupid WNBA and let the talented ones get European contracts.
Caitlin Clark has a Heart of Gold, and not any players plus corrupt Officials couldn't even run her out, with coward teammates also.
No Ref discipline coming as Englbert not interested 😢
Head contact in Rugby is a Yellow card (10 minute benching) can be upgrade under review to Red card = suspension up to 8 weeks. Protect your product. Player safety is a refs job.
She should be fired along with most of the referees.
Fact that they have to review to give a flagrant proves doing everything they can from trying to make call
Silly. It's obvious what's happening. Thugs being thugs.
She is great and what they're doing is wrong, but it makes her look even better that she can still beat all of them even though they are putting her through all this bulshit!!!
It all points to Engelbert, from the no foul calls to the phantom foul calls all the way up to 'giving' the playoff trophy to the Liberty in her New York City dress for an overtime win when the Lynx clearly won in regulation. Engelbert and the refs need to be replaced.

Also removed the commissioner with out action on that problem
Whole team of chicago sky should be fired. Nfl is looking for pitbull thugs to hire for special teams.
wnba refs are incompetent corrupt or both, at least the majority of them are, if they want to keep the interest, they need a big change. Only the media thinks there is a rivalry between Reese and Clark, they are not in the same league
That last one were intentional, for sure!
You don't fold your hand like that when trying to steal/ smack the ball
The corruption is clearly recorded, and it starts at the top. From the commissioner to the individual players, they deserve to be fined and suspended. I wish Caitlin would move to a European league just to see this joke of a league fall flat on their a$$3$. How much money would they lose when the arenas have less than 2000 attendees?

Same here I was a new watcher since I saw CC22 but it was obvious the refs were corrupt, now why would I watch next season to watch corrupt refs again
These corrupt refs are really pissing me off. I can just walk away from this joke called the WNBA. I'M only watching because of CC and Aja. Mainly CC.
Scandalous!
wnba refs are corrupted they making more money the old way deciding who wins .. how else can AJ go threw the whole season without getting any fouls she’s the only okayer i see going games without getting fouls…
Hey WNBA, it's basketball not rugby!
Or boxing, or wrestling …
the officals should held accountable!
Why are you calling intentionally clobbering Caitlin with an outstretched arm in full force (~17:15) "a body check"?!
Ifyou go back and look…..Vivian’s punched Clark in the stomach after her 3 pt play.
I just learned something about why the wnba is a losing sport. There is a 37 year old that plays professional basketball. No athlete in a professional sport with top notch players has anybody that is 37 unless it's like a Labron or MJ.

I think the commissioner was the one telling the refs what to do.
I think so too.
The refs are like a dog's hind leg, CROOKED.
There is no way the eye gauge looks accidental. Watch that player's history of the same play situation. Watch any player's body and hand movements.

I ONLY WATCH BECAUSE OF CAITLIN!!! Go Caitlin!!! And in my country I'm considered black😂😂
We have heard nothing about referring. Have a mix of gay and straight refs. Reese wasnt the most talented player at LSU
What’s being done to stop this idiocy? The refs are obviously dirty. The commissioner and her staff aren’t doing anything. About the only recourse left is to press charges, get police involved, and assault and battery charges should be brought against players that are obviously trying to injure CC in some cases severely enough to end her career!
This is so bad as I see this I remember the petty remarks from Swoops and Bird. Well are these people dumb enough to destroy the league?
when CC leaves 143 women will be out of work GOOD they deserve unemployment
CC may have to get more involved in pointing this all out…
Dirty refs!
This is the difference between male and female sports, Males would of supported their teammate and a brawl would of ensued. Watching all these fouls and what not and some of her games, I've notice none of Caitlin Clark's teammates ever have her back. Not a single time did one of her teammates get ejected or a foul called on them for sticking up for her.
What ? What commissioner ?
wNBA has a commissioner ?
laugh out loud - joke right ?
That’s supposed be a joke ?😮
Yes they need a new commissionèr
Her teammates need to be coming to her defense. She needs her 'Dennis Rodman'.
When the opposing team goes to hard on Caitlin they need to know they are gonna get it right back.

This league is like roller derby without the roller skates
Then she shoulder checked A. Boston: again not a foul. the video doesn't lie and can be replayed over and over again very slowly.
The referees need to be fired on top of that referees need to be investigated maybe gambling
FIBA loves you, girl. Doors are wide open!
Dang, I was wondering why Vivians was let go...Now I am glad she is gone. We need an enforcer. I would bet Kelly and White will get one on the roster.
Liz Cambage is looking like a good addition to the 2025 Fever roster.
It's beyond "fouls" and into, IMHO, battery that should be criminally prosecuted. And take the Ref's in as accomplices to if it can be shown they let it happen.
They need to focus on becoming better, not Brat-ier
So corrupt that's why I will no longer watch
I hope she leaves to better things . I hate watching these jealous hacks trying to play a game they suck at! And these butch Ref's suck too! The "W" is done thank God!
Stepford Commisioner. Oblivious to how to maintain this league ..... forget growing it.
So glad that Angel baby is suspended for life. Maybe she can go to Russia and play there.
I thought that it just me that noticed that. I also thought that her teammates should have jumped in to help her. They do not have that I got your back as long as you are on my team thing.
She’s not walking but it’s wild that this stuff is on camera but nothing is done about it
Come on at 2:41 in this video, it was not the body check. Jackie young swung a hard backward blow with her elbow to Caitlins face. It looked flagrant to me. !!!!!
To be fair, the LYNX "gently nudge" everyone they encounter. Just hoopin". Not like these characters.
CC and the Fever will be sending alot of these trash & overweight players into retirement anyway. But they will try to get their 15 minutes.
Until we actually see a change these videos make no difference
You can see mabrey looking that way before it happened she knew it was going to happen but had to go on down the court.
Well they all suck they can’t play ball and the refs are loosers.
Haters, the true one, scares them
