How many fking time do we have to say “fk these referees they should be fired” ever since cc came to the league for not calling a flagrant foul? She got stab in the eyes they keep playing? That’s so unfair.

Third-the fear of what could have happened, it could have been a permanent injury! It is OUTRAGEOUS they are allowed to wear those long pointed fingernails. And why was no foul even called?

@@beantmt Good point. The league cannot legislate intent, though. So removing some of the hazards may help.

It's not just to protect Caitlin but to keep this from being repeated, as well as to avoid the situation from escalating or taking the fun out of competition.
You could see her point her fingers down as she dragged her hand across Caitlin's face. It was deliberate. Caitlin could have been blinded. Carrington should have been expelled and arrested. I love Caitlin, but I won't keep watching the WNBA if they keep letting this happen.
Same here, it's really hard to watch isn't it? It's very disturbing that the league continues to allow this to go on. Caitlin is doing her best to be brave & act like it doesn't get to her, but anyone can see that it is. And WTH is wrong with those ref's? They had to have seen that dirty play. They've gotta be blind as bats, get them the hell out of there.
From the other angle it looked intentional, especially the way she straightened her fingers like spikes and struck CC in the eye. I wonder why sharp acrylic spikes are allowed to be glued to fingertips when they have no use in game play except for vanity or to injure an opponent. Neither baseball or football would allow dangerous spikes, and they might even have some advantage other than causing injuries. If CC suffers a serious injury from this type of unregulated equipment and unregulated injurious behavior then I hope it is the end of the WNBA forever. The NBA subsidizes them with $15 million per year, which should give the NBA plenty of power to insist on removing those finger spikes, re-training the officials, or replacing the refs and the league president too.
Right on‼...and thatt's a great idea about having the NBA needing to weigh in. Alot of the NBA men are upset a out how CC has been used as a target.. Those acrylic nails are weapons. CC could have been maimed! Great choice for women with acrylic nails: KEEP the nails & YOU have CHOSEN NOT TO PLAY
NBA should suspend subsidies to WNBA until they stop these flagrant fouls by improving officiating, suspending erring referees and guilty players, and assessing them a hefty fine.
It's possible it was her subconscious kicking in… that Carrington's emotions got the best of her… and the street fighter came out… funny she seem to pull back right after she did it, just like when she did at other times... like maybe part of her knows she shouldn't be doing it… a sociologist or psychologist might have a field day with the stuff… But, no matter what, CC does NOT deserve it and it would be a tragedy if such a great talent would be harmed and not be able to shine like she's obviously meant to. Like she does.

Caitlin Clark is by far the most valuable player the WNBA has ever seen and they should be protecting her from these criminal assaults on the court. It is not so long ago in a College game a player was charged with assault- this needs to happen in the WNBA.
This one needs to go to court for felonious assault and battery. It was intentional, and should have resulted in an arrest. Caitlin could have lost the eye in this attack. And, no, she didn't deserve this or any of the other cheap shots she has endured this year. Without their leader, the team looked disorganized.
The competition I play in says if your nails go beyond your fingertips, if you can’t cut or cover them you cannot play, and goes for both boys and girls. It’s a hazard. You’d think a professional organisation would have this down packed.
CC needs to file a report with the police - felony assault with malicious intent. And the refs need to be purged. And carrington needs to be kicked out of the wnba and heavily fined. And the commissioner must resign. And christie needs to grow some.
I have practiced and studied martial arts for over 35 years--all martial systems have eye striking techniques--this is what was used on Caitlin--after the swipe you see her fingers come together and with intention thrust forward aiming directly for the eye.-we only use this in the most extreme situations--this player needs to be released from the WNBA--she's emotionally unstable
That's the problem she is bringing millions of eyes to the corrupt thug life welfare league called the WNBA all the betting is going to have to stop all the illegal gambling from the referees is going to have to stop the list goes on and on and on they want her gone
Remember the story of the goose that laid golden eggs? This is the WNBA's opportunity to actually make money and thus pay players more and for them to get ad deals, etc. It could be a rising tide that lifts all boats. But nah, they want to cook that goose.
again, yall CC fans are the biggest downfall of the WNBA. even Caitlin laughed when asked and said it wasn't intentional. CC said WATCH THE VIDEO, yall did , and still ran with the tard statement that it was intentional. Wish all of yall never came to be as fans, yall are ruining the league
Fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake nails, and fake talent!!!! Only thing real is their envy and racist jealousy AND let’s not forget, their violent ghetto brutality THEY THINK is basketball playing!
I saw a slow-motion video at an angle not shown in the broadcast during the game at a podcast last 09-22-24 and the eye-gouging of Carrington was 1,00% purely intentional. It should have been a flagrant 2 foul but the refs as usual doesn't give a sh*t when it comes to Caitlin. The WNBA should take immediate action on this or Caitlin can file charges prior to the next game, she could have lost an eye with that dirtbag action.
@@I.am_Groot There is a difference between rough and dirty. Dirty players have always been called out and despised by a large portion of NBA fans so you can stop lying now.
Carrington needs to get kicked to the sideline to never to be seen agin. All the new fans for the WNBA should push the league to do something. Push the Refs be talked too big time.🖕
In the 4th quarter, when the game was out of reach, a good coach, would take the all or most of the starters out, and put in the bench, to get payback on Mustard, and a few of the other thugs. You DON'T let anyone get away with going after your players.
Carrington needs to be removed from basketball forever, she deliberately hit Clark in the eye. Watch the slow motion contact where Carrington rotates her hands down to aim for the eyes. Carrington needs to be removed.
I watch a lot of Fever posters I like Mick analysis and just sheer volume of content, but DKM, man you have the best game reviews out there bar none and they are always worth the wait. You’re doing great! You know your hoops and it seems to me your are more interested in having excellent content than being the first to post. I appreciate the excellence. The accent and style just add to the experience too. Big fan.
I used to like Mick but he just puts out too much garbage now, It seemed like every 10 minutes he has a video, But I don't have time to watch a bunch of regurgitated nonsense, just way too much content trying to get clicks and subscribers I can't even watch him any more. it's too bad. Dkm, Awful coaching and John the Liquidator are some of my favorites. I see a lot of people stealing DKM material and putting on artificial intelligent voices, but it's his content, there's like 5 of them I've run across
@@martintimberlake2243 My favorites are DKM and Paddocast sports. Those guys are the best doing it right now. They have the best takes and the most professional presentation of the TH-cam group. I agree that Micks content is becoming less and less worthy of my clicks just because of the sheer volume, but as soon as I want to hear someone’s take on the news he has a video talking about it from his perspective. I shy away from John the Liquidator, he doesn’t provide much value since he mostly replays the press conferences which I already watch and I don’t perceive that he has a particularly good basketball mind. Also I don’t particularly like his format, what do you mean we have to go all the way up to Indy? That guy “Horrible coaching” on TH-cam or something close to that name, really exposes the flaws in the defense. I am starting to like what he’s doing, but he literally yells at you for 5 minutes at a time while reviewing the different plays. Either way though, we must admit that we are spoiled for choice when it comes to Fever commentary. I have never seen anything like this for any other team I have followed in the past. May Grace and Peace be with you.
They should make them play w/o cat-like lady nails; wabt long nails, glue them on when ya not playing. Otherwise that happens all the time w/o intent and with the ladies, it could cause an injury. The defender's eyes never left the ball.
People see what they want to see we didn't have this view yesterday are the views that showed exactly what she's looking for she's a professional athlete and knows how to control her body don't be blind to the evil that is happening in front of your face all over the freaking world
You can see this in the footage from the angle where the camera is looking at Carrington’s back and you see her fingers close into an attacking pose, which anyone who knows martial arts will recognize. There’s no valid reason for her to do that and it’s as clear as day. It was as obvious as it could be.
Carrington’s Targeted Attack on Clark: The fact that - as seen in the enlarged video of the event, which shows her back, standing over the downed victim - Dijonai Carrington. ends her downward attack-claw swiping motion with her back to Caitlin Clark and her palms already up in a plaintive motion to the ref (audience/teammates/bench?) feigning innocence of a crime whose consequences she lacked the nerve or conscience to turn to face. I see this orchestrated series of motions as - at the very least - evidence of a dangerous, vicious impulse unleashed, if not a totally premeditated, violent act. Whatever sanctions the league manages to find the spine to impose on the volatile and often limit-pushing competitive Carrington, with her widely-recognized predilection for unsportsmanlike behavior, this potentially career-ending - not to mention life altering - attack on another player should include a permanent prohibition from ever sharing a WNBA floor with Caitlin Clark. {Thomas G Rutenbeck}
Damn i didn't realize just how obvious this was flagrant and on purpose! she looked at where she was goingand pointed her hand straight down towards her face! This is intentionally done no doubt!
The fact that is being ignored in this commentary is that Caitlin played all but the first two minutes of the game after being assaulted. It is so obvious that her vision was impaired from taking a poke from a fake fingernail in her eye! 😠
So all you Companies that have endorsed Kaitlin Clark. You might want to protect her or she may not have her as an endorsement. The Reffs blind, commissioner is mute !!!😮😢😮 what’s new.
It's the opposing players and coaches, and officials that HATE Caitlin Clark. The league itself is sending a message to all the punishers that it's a-okay to physically harm Clark. And also, when it comes to her Fever teammates, they just barely tolerate her being on the team. And only because their crowds have doubled, people know some of their names and they're flying Charter, not commercial. Imagine what Pistons players would have done in retaliation had other teams continued to be abusive to Isaiah. And then there's the Fever coach. Terrible coaching. The one weakness in Caitlin's game is her inept defense. Caitlin is being shown nothing, not being coached in FUNDAMENTAL basketball. If Phil Jackson picked 12 mediocre WNBA players to form a team, their record at the end of the season would be 40-0. Bad bad bad coaching THROUGHOUT the WNBA. Lastly, when it comes to assaults like what we're witnessing, the punishment should be assessed against the negligent player regardless of whether she meant to do it or not. A rule that takes away any discussion on whether it was on purpose or an accident would put a halt to "accidental" fouls real quick.
There is a reason why DiJonai Carrington as well as the other players who laid uncalled flagrant fouls on Clark, and the called flagrant fouls got away with this "Prison Ball Basketball Play" on CC22, The reason is that the top players on the top teams get that special Whistle - the one whistle that allows them to play "physical Basketball" which after all this is what the WNBA is all about. Players are allowed to play defense with uncalled hard fouls and when the other team plays hard basketball back they are called out by the Refs. The last point is that if CC22 calls out the Refs, which she has done, she gets more fouls called on her, as well as Technical fouls. DiJonai Carrington, Special Whistle. 2024 Fouls 40 Games, 100 committed, with 157 trips to the foul line, 1.5 to the foul line for every foul committed & Draws 2 fouls for every foul committed.

Since Caitlin Clark came into the wnba I've watched every one of her games and hundreds of highlights she's been targeted from day one in junior high it's documented this has been going on for years why have we not even heard of this girl until the last couple of years, when she blew up the Woman's tournament With a little school from Iowa beating the big dogs. They know she's turning the league upside down they need to stop her, they make a lot of money on betting. They know all these extra eyes on them is not good they want to put a stop to it because Caitlin Clark is bringing a sea change to the WNBA. Everything will be done to stop it by the old guard. It's all VERY obvious if open our eyeballs. But it's kind of human nature not to want to see so much evil and hatred in the world it's sickening to us. Thank you Lord for protecting Caitlin Clark and please continue to do so. AMEN
CC is probably going to have to start wearing head gear, both to protect her eyes and nose. If not, it's likely the other kitty kats are going to injure, possibly blind her.
I said it was deliberate last night. Of course, the TV announcers immediately said it wasn't intentional. No one likes or wants to watch these vile obnoxious thugs.
I’m ngl, guys, just stop watching the wnba😂 it’s not worth it and you can find this petty drama at your local college/ highschool. It sucks to see but at least CC got money and fake now we gotta stop talking about this Bs and bringing them more money It is addicting in a depressing way to watch tho😂
The Fans Have To Give A Ultimatum About The Flagrant Fouls That Caitlin Clark Keeps Receiving 19% Of The Flagrant Fouls Are Committed Against Clark! If This Keeps Up They Are Really Going To Hurt Clark !!!
1. UNDENIABLY it was INTENTIONAL (freeze frame shows the dirty defender's arm/hand/fingers were all raised straight up AND still rising/jumping up when Clark's pass was ALREADY LONG GONE from her hand, with the basketball itself ALREADY PAST the defender's hand and past her head. Absolutely no need to contact Clark 2. Moreover, the defender then -- rather than keeping her arm, hand, and fingers completely straight on the downward motion -- "inexplicably" cocked her wrist DOWNWARD in a SCRAPING motion and then "accidentally on purpose" THRUST her fingers and fingernails directly into Clark's face and eye. Just disgusting. 3. Despite Clark downplaying it, there is NO WAY the poke in the eye DIDN'T AFFECT the accuracy of Clark's shooting (likely her vision was/is slightly blurred); I have never seen her shooting "just off" the mark to such a degree. She needs to play future games wearing the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar goggles he made famous late in his career.
If this is not addressed by the league before the next game I am done with the WNBA. I also hope CC leaves the league for greener pastures, leaving this league on welfare until the NBA pulls its funding and that is what the league deserves. While there are some players that I have become fans of. They are not enough for me to care enough to make the time to watch.
It was deliberate and disgusting. Carrington should be suspended. And the WNBA should banish the talons 💅. Absolutely ridiculous that the W allows players to play with weapons on their fingers. I can’t even play in a damn pickup game with long nails. Scratch a baller and you’re rightfully shamed and banished from the court. Damn make this league make sense.

The Sun strategy is to hurt Clark, and so decrease her playing level, and win the game. It was intentional. Carrington did not show any sympathy or concern, but just continued playing off as if nothing happened.
It was on purpose and it caused CC's depth perception to be affected, and she might not have noticed it, or would she use it as an excuse because she is a real athlete.
You can see in the slow motion of Carrington actually watching to control her hand so as she hits Caitlin in the eye with a finger! Watching even before it happened where if it were avoidable she could've avoided it! She was targeting Caitlins eye specifically! No foul when that was definitely a technical! The refs that don't do a proper job should be fined! I've never seen refs as bad as what they have in the WNBA!
again, yall CC fans are the biggest downfall of the WNBA. even Caitlin laughed when asked and said it wasn't intentional. CC said WATCH THE VIDEO, yall did , and still ran with the tard statement that it was intentional. Wish all of yall never came to be as fans, yall are ruining the league
This appears tp be a league problem,. It would be easy for a ref to miss this intentional foul, especially since the play was over when the blow was struck. BUT when the league reviewed the tape, there should have been an immediate fine and suspension. You just cannot allow this kind of dangerous behavior. The league and the fans could have lost their most popular player for life. I hope it is not as serious as it could be!
I've blocked a lot of shots and never have I repositioned my fingers that way. Just saying its looks real sus. She could have permanently blinded her or caused some sort of permanent damage that we will see in the future.

I have practiced and studied martial arts for over 35 years--all martial systems have eye striking techniques--this is what was used on Caitlin--after the swipe you see her fingers come together and with intention thrust forward aiming directly for the eye.-we only use this in the most extreme situations--this player needs to be released from the WNBA--she's emotionally unstable
Absolutely disgusting behavior. Caitlin is bringing so many eyes to the W, I can't believe they don't appreciate that.
That's the problem she is bringing millions of eyes to the corrupt thug life welfare league called the WNBA all the betting is going to have to stop all the illegal gambling from the referees is going to have to stop the list goes on and on and on they want her gone
That why W is standing for Worthless.
She can be white, or straight, but she can't be both and be such a great player, it interferes with some people's "magic".
Remember the story of the goose that laid golden eggs?
This is the WNBA's opportunity to actually make money and thus pay players more and for them to get ad deals, etc. It could be a rising tide that lifts all boats.
But nah, they want to cook that goose.
Gonna love it when the fever are Eliminated from the playoffs and all of a sudden no one is watching
thats assault 😡
and driven by racism is a hate crime.
Absolutely 💯
There's precedent to arrest players for assaults that happen during a game.
She's the new Kermit Washington
The Eye Poke, That was Intentional.
Their motto is if we can't stop her, disable her.
Very disgusting, dirty play, cheating, jelousy, and right down assulted.
BUT....where are the adults in the room? Thugs sre going to be thugs.but this stupid league has to take charge and protect its most valuable assett.
Another example of the coach not protecting her players. Referees are incompetent.
😢
@@IanPunter you forgot the real important part in all of this
*adults WOMEN* ☕
Absolutely INTENTIONAL. Carrington is trying to put her out of commission.
again, yall CC fans are the biggest downfall of the WNBA. even Caitlin laughed when asked and said it wasn't intentional. CC said WATCH THE VIDEO, yall did , and still ran with the tard statement that it was intentional. Wish all of yall never came to be as fans, yall are ruining the league
They try to hurt her every game she plays in. It needs to stop.
Caitlin Clark was robbed for mvp!
Long fingernails and eye lashes are ridiculous in basket ball.
Too bad you’re not there playing. No talent.
And a wig as well it looks like 😮
It make my skin crawl when I see them.
Fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake nails, and fake talent!!!! Only thing real is their envy and racist jealousy AND let’s not forget, their violent ghetto brutality THEY THINK is basketball playing!
@@stargazer2.3 No argument from you. No brain.
90 days in jail, probation, 200,00 fine.
I saw a slow-motion video at an angle not shown in the broadcast during the game at a podcast last 09-22-24 and the eye-gouging of Carrington was 1,00% purely intentional. It should have been a flagrant 2 foul but the refs as usual doesn't give a sh*t when it comes to Caitlin. The WNBA should take immediate action on this or Caitlin can file charges prior to the next game, she could have lost an eye with that dirtbag action.
Do you advocate criminal charges when NBA players get rough? Or it it different when its girls? lol
NBA players don't wear acrylic spikes on their fingertips
@@ThePhillyDz Some of them might
@@I.am_Groot There is a difference between rough and dirty. Dirty players have always been called out and despised by a large portion of NBA fans so you can stop lying now.
@@I.am_Groot *brethren you ain't Groot you are Dumb.*
Nobody should have long fingernails while playing basketball.
Carrington's hand went up, then her fingers pointed down and just poked Clark's eye straight
Looking at the slow motion tape only a blind person will said that was not dirty
This is a serious situation where Clark should sue! This is a crime! It was obvious that her eye was targeted.
Carrington needs to get kicked to the sideline to never to be seen agin. All the new fans for the WNBA should push the league to do something. Push the Refs be talked too big time.🖕
Time for CC to go to a Different league. F k WNBA I'm done
Perfect example of racism and jealousy from one of the W lesbians.
Wait I'm coughing up a hairball
@@MarkFranklin-ws5jf 🙄
W? She’s a lesbian how do yk!? Who is?
M lesbians are people too.
@@larrym2434 What.?
In the 4th quarter, when the game was out of reach, a good coach, would take the all or most of the starters out, and put in the bench, to get payback on Mustard, and a few of the other thugs. You DON'T let anyone get away with going after your players.
Carrington needs to be removed from basketball forever, she deliberately hit Clark in the eye. Watch the slow motion contact where Carrington rotates her hands down to aim for the eyes. Carrington needs to be removed.
it was intentional if you saw it!!!! boycott the wnba until they clean house and get their shit together. fire the commissioner
It's always the same people that have these "incidents" with CC.
BOYCOTT
What fucking refs keep letting them target Catlin Clark
The entire Sun team are scumbags, that is why they choke in the playoffs every year, no discipline, no class!
I watch a lot of Fever posters I like Mick analysis and just sheer volume of content, but DKM, man you have the best game reviews out there bar none and they are always worth the wait. You’re doing great! You know your hoops and it seems to me your are more interested in having excellent content than being the first to post. I appreciate the excellence. The accent and style just add to the experience too. Big fan.
I used to like Mick but he just puts out too much garbage now, It seemed like every 10 minutes he has a video, But I don't have time to watch a bunch of regurgitated nonsense, just way too much content trying to get clicks and subscribers I can't even watch him any more. it's too bad. Dkm, Awful coaching and John the Liquidator are some of my favorites. I see a lot of people stealing DKM material and putting on artificial intelligent voices, but it's his content, there's like 5 of them I've run across
@@martintimberlake2243 My favorites are DKM and Paddocast sports. Those guys are the best doing it right now. They have the best takes and the most professional presentation of the TH-cam group. I agree that Micks content is becoming less and less worthy of my clicks just because of the sheer volume, but as soon as I want to hear someone’s take on the news he has a video talking about it from his perspective. I shy away from John the Liquidator, he doesn’t provide much value since he mostly replays the press conferences which I already watch and I don’t perceive that he has a particularly good basketball mind. Also I don’t particularly like his format, what do you mean we have to go all the way up to Indy? That guy “Horrible coaching” on TH-cam or something close to that name, really exposes the flaws in the defense. I am starting to like what he’s doing, but he literally yells at you for 5 minutes at a time while reviewing the different plays. Either way though, we must admit that we are spoiled for choice when it comes to Fever commentary. I have never seen anything like this for any other team I have followed in the past. May Grace and Peace be with you.
Why is make-up, long fingernails, and fake eyelashes even allowed in the WNBA? What a joke of a league.
"Embarassing preformance"??? You fckn kidding me?? CC still fckn played the game half blind. I wouldnt call that embarassing.
Embarrassing fever performance
She was not good and the Fever are in over their heads.
They should make them play w/o cat-like lady nails; wabt long nails, glue them on when ya not playing. Otherwise that happens all the time w/o intent and with the ladies, it could cause an injury. The defender's eyes never left the ball.
People see what they want to see we didn't have this view yesterday are the views that showed exactly what she's looking for she's a professional athlete and knows how to control her body don't be blind to the evil that is happening in front of your face all over the freaking world
WRONG! Carrington’s eyes were focused on Clark’s eyes until afte she struck her.
That was as intentional as it gets!
You can see this in the footage from the angle where the camera is looking at Carrington’s back and you see her fingers close into an attacking pose, which anyone who knows martial arts will recognize. There’s no valid reason for her to do that and it’s as clear as day. It was as obvious as it could be.
Totally intentional
Carrington’s Targeted Attack on Clark:
The fact that - as seen in the enlarged video of the event, which shows her back, standing over the downed victim - Dijonai Carrington. ends her downward attack-claw swiping motion with her back to Caitlin Clark and her palms already up in a plaintive motion to the ref (audience/teammates/bench?) feigning innocence of a crime whose consequences she lacked the nerve or conscience to turn to face.
I see this orchestrated series of motions as - at the very least - evidence of a dangerous, vicious impulse unleashed, if not a totally premeditated, violent act.
Whatever sanctions the league manages to find the spine to impose on the volatile and often limit-pushing competitive Carrington, with her widely-recognized predilection for unsportsmanlike behavior, this potentially career-ending - not to mention life altering - attack on another player should include a permanent prohibition from ever sharing a WNBA floor with Caitlin Clark.
{Thomas G Rutenbeck}
Damn i didn't realize just how obvious this was flagrant and on purpose! she looked at where she was goingand pointed her hand straight down towards her face! This is intentionally done no doubt!
She actually formed her fingers into a "spear" and watches her hand go right into her eye.
The fact that is being ignored in this commentary is that Caitlin played all but the first two minutes of the game after being assaulted. It is so obvious that her vision was impaired from taking a poke from a fake fingernail in her eye! 😠
So all you Companies that have endorsed Kaitlin Clark.
You might want to protect her or she may not have her as an endorsement. The Reffs blind, commissioner is mute !!!😮😢😮 what’s new.
It's the opposing players and coaches, and officials that HATE Caitlin Clark. The league itself is sending a message to all the punishers that it's a-okay to physically harm Clark. And also, when it comes to her Fever teammates, they just barely tolerate her being on the team. And only because their crowds have doubled, people know some of their names and they're flying Charter, not commercial. Imagine what Pistons players would have done in retaliation had other teams continued to be abusive to Isaiah. And then there's the Fever coach. Terrible coaching. The one weakness in Caitlin's game is her inept defense. Caitlin is being shown nothing, not being coached in FUNDAMENTAL basketball. If Phil Jackson picked 12 mediocre WNBA players to form a team, their record at the end of the season would be 40-0. Bad bad bad coaching THROUGHOUT the WNBA. Lastly, when it comes to assaults like what we're witnessing, the punishment should be assessed against the negligent player regardless of whether she meant to do it or not. A rule that takes away any discussion on whether it was on purpose or an accident would put a halt to "accidental" fouls real quick.
Phil Jackson LMAO
So the Sun cheated to win.
That was intentional, there is literally no way to say it wasn't.
CAITLIN HERSELF SAID IT WASNT
Guilty!! She knew she hit CC and didnt even stutter!!!
There is a reason why DiJonai Carrington as well as the other players who laid uncalled flagrant fouls on Clark, and the called flagrant fouls got away with this "Prison Ball Basketball Play" on CC22,
The reason is that the top players on the top teams get that special Whistle - the one whistle that allows them to play "physical Basketball" which after all this is what the WNBA is all about.
Players are allowed to play defense with uncalled hard fouls and when the other team plays hard basketball back they are called out by the Refs.
The last point is that if CC22 calls out the Refs, which she has done, she gets more fouls called on her, as well as Technical fouls.

Since Caitlin Clark came into the wnba I've watched every one of her games and hundreds of highlights she's been targeted from day one in junior high it's documented this has been going on for years why have we not even heard of this girl until the last couple of years, when she blew up the Woman's tournament With a little school from Iowa beating the big dogs. They know she's turning the league upside down they need to stop her, they make a lot of money on betting. They know all these extra eyes on them is not good they want to put a stop to it because Caitlin Clark is bringing a sea change to the WNBA. Everything will be done to stop it by the old guard. It's all VERY obvious if open our eyeballs. But it's kind of human nature not to want to see so much evil and hatred in the world it's sickening to us. Thank you Lord for protecting Caitlin Clark and please continue to do so. AMEN
CC is probably going to have to start wearing head gear, both to protect her eyes and nose. If not, it's likely the other kitty kats are going to injure, possibly blind her.
I said it was deliberate last night. Of course, the TV announcers immediately said it wasn't intentional. No one likes or wants to watch these vile obnoxious thugs.
I’m ngl, guys, just stop watching the wnba😂 it’s not worth it and you can find this petty drama at your local college/ highschool.
It sucks to see but at least CC got money and fake now we gotta stop talking about this Bs and bringing them more money
It is addicting in a depressing way to watch tho😂
boycott
The Fans Have To Give A Ultimatum About The Flagrant Fouls That Caitlin Clark Keeps Receiving 19% Of The Flagrant Fouls Are Committed Against Clark! If This Keeps Up They Are Really Going To Hurt Clark !!!
Absolutely deliberate.
Definitely on purpose, such dirty players.
Such horrible refs, WTF!
1. UNDENIABLY it was INTENTIONAL (freeze frame shows the dirty defender's arm/hand/fingers were all raised straight up AND still rising/jumping up when Clark's pass was ALREADY LONG GONE from her hand, with the basketball itself ALREADY PAST the defender's hand and past her head. Absolutely no need to contact Clark
2. Moreover, the defender then -- rather than keeping her arm, hand, and fingers completely straight on the downward motion -- "inexplicably" cocked her wrist DOWNWARD in a SCRAPING motion and then "accidentally on purpose" THRUST her fingers and fingernails directly into Clark's face and eye. Just disgusting.
3. Despite Clark downplaying it, there is NO WAY the poke in the eye DIDN'T AFFECT the accuracy of Clark's shooting (likely her vision was/is slightly blurred); I have never seen her shooting "just off" the mark to such a degree. She needs to play future games wearing the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar goggles he made famous late in his career.
funny YOU say that. but caitlin said the play wasn't intentional, and actually laughed at yall weirdos
So wnba saying candice parker better than clark? What a joke 😅
If this is not addressed by the league before the next game I am done with the WNBA. I also hope CC leaves the league for greener pastures, leaving this league on welfare until the NBA pulls its funding and that is what the league deserves. While there are some players that I have become fans of. They are not enough for me to care enough to make the time to watch.
I was really just starting to to get interested.
Cya slick..enjoy
It was deliberate and disgusting. Carrington should be suspended.
And the WNBA should banish the talons 💅. Absolutely ridiculous that the W allows players to play with weapons on their fingers. I can’t even play in a damn pickup game with long nails. Scratch a baller and you’re rightfully shamed and banished from the court.
Damn make this league make sense.
again, yall CC fans are the biggest downfall of the WNBA. even Caitlin laughed when asked and said it wasn't intentional. CC said WATCH THE VIDEO, yall did , and still ran with the tard statement that it was intentional. Wish all of yall never came to be as fans, yall are ruining the league
Hopefully, the Kareem Abdul Jabbar googles won't dilute her brand too badly...
It's a deliberate foul. If the Fever lose in playoffs against the Sun, i hope the championship games viewership drops to 2023 levels.
Lol.. the pettiness is amusing
Oh, it will.
Holly crap! Those are some claws😮 WNBA should get some nail clippers out before each game.
How can they play with long nails?
There should be a fine and suspension of the player, and an immediate league ban on long nails.
Coach knows that
Its a planned act.
Look at the way she changes her hand position downwards into a claw to ensure maximum damage!
How is that not deliberate?!
It was on purpose. She should suspended for one or more games.
The Sun strategy is to hurt Clark, and so decrease her playing level, and win the game. It was intentional. Carrington did not show any sympathy or concern, but just continued playing off as if nothing happened.
News flash; D. Carrington is questionable for game 2 due to ingesting a na'lisa Smith hairball!
Just have to say because of your channel I've learned a lot about the WNBA. You doing more for the WNBA than ESPN
Police have long nail, EMT have long nails, and contact sport also have long nails. Why? Just why?
Can't mess with people's culture if you make rules for them you're a racist hater
You are right, they shouldn’t ! Big risk for injury with infection.
It was on purpose and it caused CC's depth perception to be affected, and she might not have noticed it, or would she use it as an excuse because she is a real athlete.
Dirty players
Marina Mabrey repeated the hand motion exactly just afterward, showing that the Sun had practiced this martial arts strike prior to the game.
You can see in the slow motion of Carrington actually watching to control her hand so as she hits Caitlin in the eye with a finger! Watching even before it happened where if it were avoidable she could've avoided it! She was targeting Caitlins eye specifically! No foul when that was definitely a technical! The refs that don't do a proper job should be fined! I've never seen refs as bad as what they have in the WNBA!
again, yall CC fans are the biggest downfall of the WNBA. even Caitlin laughed when asked and said it wasn't intentional. CC said WATCH THE VIDEO, yall did , and still ran with the tard statement that it was intentional. Wish all of yall never came to be as fans, yall are ruining the league
There's no stopping catlin she doesn't have to cheat to b good
That is not a missed foul, that is criminal assault. That player bent her hand and slashed her fingers directly into Clark's eye.
FFS, the UFC doesn't allow assault like this, so why should the WNBA?
league better take a good long look at all these fouls on CC during the off season and come up with a plan to stop it.
These refs call the game like it's a FIBA game. Very very different from the NBA that's for sure which protects the offensive play WAAAAAY more.
of course deliberate. THATs the only way they can contain CC
If this is how my team wins I would feel nothing but shame.
This appears tp be a league problem,. It would be easy for a ref to miss this intentional foul, especially since the play was over when the blow was struck. BUT when the league reviewed the tape, there should have been an immediate fine and suspension. You just cannot allow this kind of dangerous behavior. The league and the fans could have lost their most popular player for life. I hope it is not as serious as it could be!
Hey the commissioner already said that she likes confrontation puts butts in the seats and she don't care who gets hurt.
I think that most of us already knew that their commissioner was a moron, but she keeps on removing any doubt, doesn't she?
I've blocked a lot of shots and never have I repositioned my fingers that way. Just saying its looks real sus. She could have permanently blinded her or caused some sort of permanent damage that we will see in the future.
You are right 👍 the defense is not there yet to improve to go to the next level
