Of course it was on purpose , did you see Deshields center court tackle of Clark ? They all intentionally go after her like there is a bounty on who can cripple Clark first . These woman are vicious .
You can't control the fans. You can control how the players interact with each other. Causing bodily harm is not acceptable. Also, Refs need to be held accountable.
The eye poking was on purpose. Bending her fingers down stiff is not natural. Also she turned away to quick knowing what she purposely did. Then knowing what happened she did nothing hoping everyone thought it was accidental. No remorse if it was an accident.
I’m 6’8” tall so needless to say I played a lot of ball and I was usually around the basket where things generally get very physical. I took a lot of beatings just like everybody else but I can say I never got a finger in the eye either accidentally or intentionally and I never saw it happen to anyone else either. That poke in CC’s eye was most definitely intentional.
Eye for an eye compensation, the malevolent intent & criminal level bad sportsmanship should be expulsion from wnba. Are we to become as a nation sad-sack revenge seeking, cheap shot brats? Snipers & saboteurs in office politics & academia. Just a bunch of King of the Mountain BS. Esprit de Corp is treachery. Shytheels & desperate narcissism
Hopefully she's going to Europe before she gets hurt and lose her career. Them black gays with never be a responsible league. By Clark we will miss you.
I played a lot of basketball when I was younger. I tried to play through an eye poke and had similar results. It’s tough to play with one headlight, blinking a lot, pain and a watery eye.
These girls play with switch blades on the ends of each finger. CC needs to wear eye-protection but the moment she wears it, the haters will criticize her as not being tough enough to play in the TNBA Thug NBA !!
I think it's a crap league but look at the attendance throughout the league. It is up, and ESPN is (yawn) all over it, with or without CC. The blow hard criticism of the league's popularity are way off. Even if she leaves I don't think the league will collapse.
Smith is CC team mate on Fever and is also Carrington's girlfriend! Since Clark came aboard Smith's stats have gone down including her playing time! Carrington's team mate Mabrey did a sideline re-enactment while they laughed about it! WNBA.....FIX IT! Safety regulations should include nails trimmed to fingertips and stop the tackles! Intentional!
On the streets the nails are used for a weapon. Why are they allowed in professional basketball? The professional part is what is in question. Professional officials make professional calls. Continuous bad calls are made by questionable people calling it or not calling fouls etc What comes to mind is the gambling and point spreads involved in pro games. No game doesn't have its share of corruption. A few factors are involved and make me suspicious of how the WNBA operates.
Do the experts wear thick glasses? The obvious poke has been broken down frame by frame. The long nails have been exposed as a danger in the game. What platform do we have to stand on for the experts to acknowledge that it isn't just about CC but every players safety.
How many basketball players play armed with long claw hammer nails, long eyelashes looking like a broken Chuckie doll, and fancy outfits like going to a fashion show ramp. It is inconvenient to play basketball in such attire. She was prepared to stab Caitlin into the eyes which is an assault as she could permanently blind an opponent. The WNBA and Fever management should investigate this as it could happen to other players. It is not about being racist, it is not about fashion but it is about FAIR GAME. It can affect their organization and they should hire referees with good eyesight. They should suspend the culprit as it is an assault punishable with a maximum of 10 years and a penalty. If the management wants to improve their following, they should not blame the fans. Fans colored black, white, brown, yellow & pink know basketball and understand what is happening. STOP TALKING ABOUT RACISM BUT START CLEANING THE ACTORS AND PRODUCE A FAIR GAME.
She definitely fouled her on purpose and she did it to injure Clark. This video doesn't show it (why?) but she lowered her fake nails into Clark's eyes AFTER the shot.
Hey Chiney, how's that working out? No Caitlin, no following. Hmmm, how you going to stand for something woke, when your entire footing is crumbling beneath you. WOW, how smart are you? I am really concerned your intelligence keeps coming out. You were one of the main one's pushing Angel being better than Caitlin. Kept telling people that she is not as good as Taurasi, and any of the players on the Olympic team. Then, with two weeks left in the season you start talking her up. I lost complete faith in your ability to judge anyone's skill set, and obviously on topics that almost the entire nation doesn't want to hear. The ratings are proving that to be the case.
CC had to have seen the smoking gun reverse angle clearly showing intent to physically harm, so why the heck would she say - not intentional. Not sure, maybe because in retaliation Clark smacked Carrington twice and did not want to face the backlash, or maybe when CC was asked about intentionality she actually had not seen the reverse angle .
The biomechanics of blocking a shot can produce arm and hand motions that can take many different forms. BUT -- it NEVER looks like how Carrington's arm, wrist and fingers moved in this instance. This was a conscious attempt by Carrington to stab Clark in the eye with a sharp object. Assault, in other words. Caitlin was lucky that the knife edge of the nail plate (probably) missed her cornea, although the intensity of the pain, and the blurring of vision afterward suggest that she sustained a corneal abrasion. If it isn't obvious from Caitlin's reaction, corneal injuries hurt like a mtherfcker. A corneal abrasion will heal in 3 days with no residual, but a laceration will generally heal with a scar which permanently impairs vision. Without a corneal transplant, Caitlin's career could have been ended by Carrington's intentional act. Carrington's action was a foul, certainly. Flagrant, for sure. She should have ben ejected, suspended, and fined. But this act was ASSAULT. Criminal charges should have been filed. Seriously? YES! Imagine you are at work, and a co-worker turns to you and stabs you in the eye for no clear reason. What do you call that? The inaction of Carrington's team, the officials and the league are virtual proof that there is a conspiracy of some sort. I could understand players being involved; after all, these are girls, not women. A study by the Rand Corporation around 40 years ago determined that American males exited adolescence at an AVERAGE age of ... ♩TA DA♬♯♪ ... 35. Thirty five. The same must apply to females, which would help explain the behavior of the players. But why have neither of the coaches commented, and WHY IS THE LEAGUE SILENT? I can only conclude that the league is tired of all the crowds, the hassle of leasing the private jets, and the greater infusion of money, which has to be accounted for, a big hassle. Cait has relieved them of this nightmare by deciding to ply her trade in Europe. So everyone should be happy now.
Even when Clark is treated unfairly she doesn’t complain about it. She’s a great player and person. How can anyone be mad at her. It makes no sense at all.
If there are 12 teams, and let's say 6 play as starters per team = 72 players. That is 1.3% each player represents as a proportion of the league. 17% for Caitlin? That is OVER 10 times her proportion. In my mind, my opinion, there is zero question that Smith's girlfriend poked Clark in the eye intentionally. And the worst part is, Clark's teammate, her "protector" did absolutely SQUAT to defend her paycheck, Caitlin Clark. Disgusting. You NEVER see this crap in men's sports, but it is all over women's sports. And it is because of the love relationships that take precedence over any team or teammate loyalty. I coached women's fast pitch college softball, and it was just fine until the lesbians showed up. Of my 6 years...3 were beautiful. If there WERE any lesbians, they kept it to themselves. It wasn't an issue. The last 3 it was hell on earth. They would INTENTIONALLY do the bullfighter's "ole'" at a ground ball. You KNEW they would have had that last year....but for some reason, a spat between lover's was happening and the entire team's success was resting on that spat between lover's. I couldn't take it anymore and left. Football? Mostl;y black. You know why? Meritocracy! NBA? Mostly black. You know why? Meritocracy. Baseball? Latins over-represented. You know why? Meritocracy. And on it goes. But when you talk about a gov't agency, all of a sudden.... fck meritocracy....NOW we gotta do this song and dance. I am sick of the entire contrived bullshite. TIRED!!!!
When did women's basketball rules match up with the contact rules allowed between a DB and a receiver when the ball is in the air? Pulling swatting patty cake pulling the jersey....if the defender keeps from knocking the offensive player down before the ball hits hands....no penalty. Accidents are still penalized or should be. WNFL?
Now I understand why Black Female players use those Eye Lash´s it isnt just for aero porposes when dunking but to protect their eyes from attacks like this!!!!
WNBA officials,referees & Officers will not do anything about Carrington hit on Caitlin Clark.Carrington is big time jealous because Caitlin Clark is great in defense and offence in the court of the WNBA
That player needs some time in jail. Very clear to me it was intentional... That could have ruined Clark's career plus disabled her for life...!!! SO SO SHAMFUL 💔 Andre
Ref didn't even call foul they should have at least went one more game and you would be dumb thinking it was an accident, her teammate recreated her doing it while laughing
You saw the eye poke the ball was gone her hand went down to her face .A poke the hand would be straight her hand was down into the eye . We all saw it and you can tell she meant to do that.
Clark should move to the international league. She gets no support from the WNBA, league referees, and even her teammates. Why would she ever return to a team that won't even give their star player any support.
I would say look at the history of dc this year on the court. She’s trying to prove she’s relevant and she’ll do anything to anyone that gets in her way. There is no doubt to me she tries to hurt and does hurt other players. It just looks bad for the wnba, player and most of all the future of the league.
What’s her face carrington , no matter how well she plays will always be known as the Nobody who tried to take out CC 22’s eye. Intentional and refs turned away. That’s why so many stopped watching. I don’t mind if Fevers loses fairly but they were boxed in and damaged by players and refs. I fully believe they were all doing as they were instructed.
If the refs cleaned up the WNBA lax rules on contact, most these brutes would be in foul trouble by the second quarter. The game would lag, the fans would realize how bad it sucks to watch, no players will be able to adjust to "don't push, hack, knock down,run over smack in the head.....to the point that it may only be called if flagrant, can not work....no way back. They effed it up. Can not retrain the thuggish players, the skilled floor General could not change the game by getting hammered when the finesse got hard for defenses, they just hammered her. They won and thats how they lost millions of dollars and fans.
ohhh yes... we shouldnt be too fast to judge those bad fouls that are mostly done only on Cailin Clark, right?! There is at least a chance of 0,01% that all these bad and like attacking fouls on CC are just "random" but the chances are very very low witch leads to the obvious that all these attacks on CC are done by purpose!! Witch means these players are trying to get CC out of the game long time because they get her injured. That Dejonai pushing her long fake nails into CC´s eyes is the top of that long list of insane bad attacks on CC´s health because she could clearly go blind out of that "situation" because I dont want to call it an attack (we all know why). Seeing so much rQcism from sooo many of these black WNBA players make me feel very bad because we all try to stop the hate against blacks etc but now its reversed and the black females a hating against whites and we dont want any of this hate because we are all the same, so f the skincolor, religion or whatever and stay together strong and dont let such BS seperate us... because we are all just humans right!?!
These black players need to stop the victim hood attitude and start playing basketball. Caitlin Clark didn’t do anything to them and she couldn’t change who they are. Now look at what they did to the WNBA, attendance were so low.
If you liked our video, make sure to subscribe if you want to keep getting updates!
There is no doubt it was an assault and battery Carrington did to Clark and she Carrington should be charged and arrested in my opinion.
Oh shit up 😅
Oh shut up
@@victorwhite4617 real mature......troll.
The announcers never mentioned the eye poke during the game. Just crickets
Of course it was on purpose , did you see Deshields center court tackle of Clark ? They all intentionally go after her like there is a bounty on who can cripple Clark first . These woman are vicious .
You can't control the fans. You can control how the players interact with each other. Causing bodily harm is not acceptable. Also, Refs need to be held accountable.
The Refs need to be FIRED!
The eye poking was on purpose. Bending her fingers down stiff is not natural. Also she turned away to quick knowing what she purposely did. Then knowing what happened she did nothing hoping everyone thought it was accidental. No remorse if it was an accident.
Karma can play rough too -INCOMING!
Scott Adams gave plenty of forewarning at his own expense
I’m 6’8” tall so needless to say I played a lot of ball and I was usually around the basket where things generally get very physical. I took a lot of beatings just like everybody else but I can say I never got a finger in the eye either accidentally or intentionally and I never saw it happen to anyone else either. That poke in CC’s eye was most definitely intentional.
Eye for an eye compensation, the malevolent intent & criminal level bad sportsmanship should be expulsion from wnba.
Are we to become as a nation sad-sack revenge seeking, cheap shot brats?
Snipers & saboteurs in office politics & academia. Just a bunch of King of the Mountain BS. Esprit de Corp is treachery.
Shytheels & desperate narcissism
There must be an " Injury timeout " and a foul. But nothing happen... That is disgusting and disappointing...
The REF's are pathetic 😒
Hopefully she's going to Europe before she gets hurt and lose her career. Them black gays with never be a responsible league. By Clark we will miss you.
I played a lot of basketball when I was younger. I tried to play through an eye poke and had similar results. It’s tough to play with one headlight, blinking a lot, pain and a watery eye.

Looked deliberate to me!
CC should go play in Europe and nobody will watch the wnba again
Agreed
She lost in the playoffs and ppl stop watching anyway
I think it's a crap league but look at the attendance throughout the league. It is up, and ESPN is (yawn) all over it, with or without CC. The blow hard criticism of the league's popularity are way off. Even if she leaves I don't think the league will collapse.
Why are they allowed long sick on nails.... the system is corrupt .... No foul 😢..... Bull DOODOO
She should be arrested She dropped her hand to maim
Should not have long nails to play ball.
Carrington should be charged assault charges suspension, fine and everything the league can do to stop this kind of treatment
CLARK SHOULD SUE!
Bird and Magic saved basketball with not only their play but rivallry but this nonsense was never part of the narrative
Them days were tough and competitive but not malicious oh sorry the Bad Boys changed things for a few years
. . . long fingernails and eyelashes in basketball are a ridiculous fad . . . period.
Those fake nails and fake eyelashes should be ilegal.
Did that shit on purpose!
Long nails should be banned for this reason!
Smith is CC team mate on Fever and is also Carrington's girlfriend! Since Clark came aboard Smith's stats have gone down including her playing time!

It wasn’t an accident……. I don’t think it’s about race I think it’s more about jealousy and it seems they can get away with it .

i guess she is just accident prone... 17% of how many players in the league? lol this is crazy
just see what they said in the VIEW - the commissioner better take measures
CC had to have seen the smoking gun reverse angle clearly showing intent to physically harm, so why the heck would she say - not intentional. Not sure, maybe because in retaliation Clark smacked Carrington twice and did not want to face the backlash, or maybe when CC was asked about intentionality she actually had not seen the reverse angle .
Stick with what worked in the first game? Were they going to poke the other eye?
Never been a Basketball fan, but wow. Cat scratching eyes? That is horrible!

It was a hit to the face it may or may not have been a common foul but it was sure as sh!t a technical foul. Even in ‘Men’s’ Basketball that’s a tech.
When did women's basketball rules match up with the contact rules allowed between a DB and a receiver when the ball is in the air? Pulling swatting patty cake pulling the jersey....if the defender keeps from knocking the offensive player down before the ball hits hands....no penalty. Accidents are still penalized or should be. WNFL?
How was she going to block a shot when the ball was not there. And your hand goes down into her eyes 👀 you can see it was intentional.
The trajectory of the hand says it is the face that is the target and not the ball
Now I understand why Black Female players use those Eye Lash´s it isnt just for aero porposes when dunking but to protect their eyes from attacks like this!!!!
WNBA officials,referees & Officers will not do anything about Carrington hit on Caitlin Clark.Carrington is big time jealous because Caitlin Clark is great in defense and offence in the court of the WNBA
Shaq doesn't "endorse" Angel Reese anymore!
That Black Women with the blonde WIG pocked Caitlan in the eye on purpose
That player needs some time in jail. Very clear to me it was intentional... That could have ruined Clark's career plus disabled her for life...!!! SO SO SHAMFUL 💔

That was deliberate

I would sue the league and refs.
they should have all the Referee's with WNBA go and Referee a NBA game to see how they do... just a suggestion
How come nobody is talking about players being allowed to having three inch finger nails. Is the league insane, it would never be allowed in industry.
Eye gauging should be a suspension.
I would say look at the history of dc this year on the court. She’s trying to prove she’s relevant and she’ll do anything to anyone that gets in her way. There is no doubt to me she tries to hurt and does hurt other players. It just looks bad for the wnba, player and most of all the future of the league.
If CC goes : We will BOYCOTT WNBA
What’s her face carrington , no matter how well she plays will always be known as the Nobody who tried to take out CC 22’s eye. Intentional and refs turned away. That’s why so many stopped watching.

She did that on purpose she was looking right where her hand was going.
her fingers didnt close on their own or by accident before they got jammed in her eye
O'well Carrington will get her "karma" in no time. Get rid of "Envy" it will make you "Infamously Famous'' & it's not healthy..
ohhh yes... we shouldnt be too fast to judge those bad fouls that are mostly done only on Cailin Clark, right?!

It was intentional. Very clear!
Pistol Pete Maravich had a little problem in Atlanta with teammates some jealousy
Funny how the most valuable players in that game was the referees and a set of fake fingernails
permanently suspend Carrington
Phoney finger nails create a hazard when hand are flailing near a face !!!
Fake finger claws don’t belong on the court.
Yes it was some random dude probably gonna knock phoney trashs block off ..
She misses a lot of shots and they lose half their games
Sorry Clark you have open your eyes it was intensel I know cheap shots the was the worse of them all cheap shots
Please Clark, leave the wnba and go to Europe.
I would not play with gangsters.
WNBA- Where racism can grow!
Bull shit she didn't say a word,
There not ballers there more worried about fake nails fake eye lashes and make up this ain't ball and Clark is gone back to the trash wnba
Uneasy lies the head that wears the Crown.
Why do that have long nails thats a accident waiting to happen.
No Excuse
These black players need to stop the victim hood attitude and start playing basketball. Caitlin Clark didn’t do anything to them and she couldn’t change who they are. Now look at what they did to the WNBA, attendance were so low.
This is the wnba ènough said.
