@PardonMyPresence I didn't see emotion. But I totally agree that she needs to be more mindful of her actions. It was careless, and Catlins carelessness could have caused a fight Catlin was lucky Phoenix players intervened, and then she saw the replay and actually apologized, which I thought was very classy, but it was Catlins carelessness that almost caused drama.
@cliffkessler2504 are you serious she stopped a ball from hitting other player in the head and you think that was careless I guess if a ball was flying towards your face you wouldn't want someone be careless enough to stop it
She equalized the situation, she was in the wrong to have just assumed it was a swing and start talking, truly immature to not be able to have composure before certainty and it's weird of Y'ALL to try and reward her for simple decency. I don't expect to be praised after helping some guy up after I accidentally got tangled up or something in a game, sad if this is a positive sign for the WNBA.
If her team didn't pull her back she would have done what most women do.. the smart thing is to apologize to the one with all the eyes... It's not class that was business
That is so rare for those people to show any class. If it wasn’t for the media attention Clark is receiving,one must allege that she would have been attacked.
Well Clark didn't do anything wrong the whole time and actually only affected Copper in a positive way in this sequence whereas Copper maybe had a neutral effect on Caitlyn despite causing the only negative in the situation. Copper is not a class act for this and don't call them equal in this scenario.
@LightningMo3 You're weird. Clarke could have let the ball hit her but didn't. Copper realizing she was wrong went over to apologizes. Neither lady had to do what they did. That's the class that you are missing. You are dense!!!!!!
Well said, I completely agree. Because of everything in the media, its so good to see. DT is such a senior player, there ain't no way Copper - or pretty much anyone - would argue with her! I wonder if anyone's ever played more games or scored more points than DT? These ladies are amazing athletes and the standard is so much better nowadays, it's great that the WNBA is getting bigger! Anywaze, hope you're good ✌
I think the tide is turning with the women of the WNBA. I have seen quite a few instances recently with players treating her better. It's awesome to see
Did you see how quick she was to wanting to have a problem with her? Yeah she came back to apologize but how could you not. She obviously tried to keep the ball from hitting her. I get in the moment she didn't realize that but she was quick to want a problem with her.
She's slowly winning over the other players in the league with her effort, attitude and complete game. B.G and Diana were right there to keep the peace. Respect
I like that her team mates...seeing what happened...stepped in to stop her from confronting Clark & explained what really happened. Much respect to those players.
We will see this happen more as well as more players hustling and hopefully amp up their game. Girls can play the round ball but they been playing soft!
Agreed 💯%. I’ve seen this clip elsewhere without the apology and without identifying Copper and people were up in arms. This has a completely different message and even identified Copper.
I don’t know Copper but, I give her 🙌🏻 for being class act…this is what WNBA should be, playing BASKETBALL 🏀 THANK YOU, CC for playing this wonderful game👏🏻🥳🫶🏼
If others wouldn't have then they're toxic idiots. That's literally the bare minimum. I must say though. As a father w 3 girls who play hoops, I use Caitlin as a role model for them. Solid player, professional attitude against some dumb media, stands her ground around racists players, unwavering integrity. That's someone a kid can look up to. 👍🏾🏀
@@Freedomlives33give me s break with a black thumb talking racist CC has a bad attitude at times too better role models in the league like Breanna Stewart who doesn’t yell at refs nor get upset when a teammate take a shot like CC has done smh
Being wrong when youre missinformed isnt malice, appologizing for that mistake is humble. CC wasnr upset about her being upset, probably understanding the missunderstanding. Both women showed class.
I saw this at the time and was surprised no one caught it THEN. No acknowledgment by any player or viewer. Another class act by a very classy person! Glad someone noticed and put it out there.
@jamesjackson9606 so her apology was not a class act? I always think admitting you are wrong and apologizing shows class, but you obviously disagree. Which is your opinion and you aren't wrong to have a different opinion. Your having a different opinion is not right or wrong it's just a different opinion
finally a WNBA team that has a little class and showed a little love and respect did Caitlin Clark deserves I live in Apache Junction Arizona and I'll think I'll watch some of Phoenix's games now that they showed a little class to what I believe is the greatest player in the WNBA time will prove that
look how happy she looks to have a player not hate her. Class act on both sides. in competition things happen thats normal, but this is good sportsmanship
I dig Clark protected Copper in the first place and yes Copper followed that up with an apology. I would hope this could be an example to others about respect gets respect, but most likely won't happen!? 🤷
Now, the rest of the bullies need to apologize. Beating up on people is not basketball. Football maybe but not basketball. Just play ball, that’s it. Stop beating this great player up because you’re jealous.
Kinda happens to all the greats. Especially when they are getting all the attention and money. Happened to Magic. Happened to Bird. It definitely happened to Jordan. Until they started protecting the faces of the league.
That's respectful she was wrong and apologized that's being a good sport too. Idk y so many of these other chicks are so mad. Stop being mad and train harder so you can have people talk about u too
Now that is refreshing and absolutely shows class and humility with showing respect YES, KUDOS AND MUCH RESPECT TO THE REAL LADY FOR HER APOLOGY. Warms the heart, May the haters learn something from this LADY❤️
If you watch any Caitlin Clark game you will see more special defensive attention than anyone alive has ever got. Very odd that she draws such attention as a rookie
As a new wnba fan( like so many others!) I really think Copper is a solid player…after seeing her apology, I see she’s a good person as well. Much respect!
Be competitive on the court, but realize that it’s a game and taking case of people (on both teams) is more important. You can be competitive but still be a good person.
I can appreciate her for making the apology and Catlin was already showing respect by protect rival player
But it was her own emotional outburst of throwing the ball like that. CC has to control that.
@@PardonMyPresenceinteresting take on reality ya got there…
@@PardonMyPresenceshe just shot it up in the air. I didn’t see no emotion at all. Reach as always 😂🤦🏽♂️
@PardonMyPresence I didn't see emotion. But I totally agree that she needs to be more mindful of her actions. It was careless, and Catlins carelessness could have caused a fight
Catlin was lucky Phoenix players intervened, and then she saw the replay and actually apologized, which I thought was very classy, but it was Catlins carelessness that almost caused drama.
@cliffkessler2504 are you serious she stopped a ball from hitting other player in the head and you think that was careless I guess if a ball was flying towards your face you wouldn't want someone be careless enough to stop it
I'm glad Copper saw she was wrong and apologized to Caitlin.
Yes❤
She misunderstood what Ms Clarke did and she had to maturity to apologize and I respect her for it.
She equalized the situation, she was in the wrong to have just assumed it was a swing and start talking, truly immature to not be able to have composure before certainty and it's weird of Y'ALL to try and reward her for simple decency. I don't expect to be praised after helping some guy up after I accidentally got tangled up or something in a game, sad if this is a positive sign for the WNBA.
She was told that Clark kept the ball from hitting her in the head and to apologize.
For real?
Nice to see someone have a positive interaction with CC after the fact.
The thug got angry for nothing😂 if she didn't get hit then why she wants a violence and assume things why is some negative when you haven't gotten hit
Copper has serious class. Owning a mistake and apologizes for it. A true professional. Well done young lady.
Absolutely, slowly the women of the WNBA especially the smart veterans are realizing what she is doing for the game and women’s sports in general.
Indeed👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Copper needs to teach a class to EVERY other athlete from every sport.
If her team didn't pull her back she would have done what most women do.. the smart thing is to apologize to the one with all the eyes... It's not class that was business
Good for her for admitting she was wrong. I respect that.
Feels good to apologize when you're in the wrong. It just sucks when you have to apologize and you know you're right.
@@jackmewhalle6937 I will take your word for it, I don't apologize when I am right. That's probably why I have been divorced twice. LOL
@@lynnjr457) if you're going to write a comment like this & make me laugh way to hard, could you at least give me a warning, that was to funny😂
@@angelsimmons5384 Where is the fun in that?
@@lynnjr457 I wasn't ready for that. 😂
Good sportsmanship never gets old.
Good for both of them.👍
That’s was a class act to go and apologize
Ms Copper is starting to get it.
That is so rare for those people to show any class. If it wasn’t for the media attention Clark is receiving,one must allege that she would have been attacked.
No, it wasn't . I t was simply the right thing to do. Dont take credit for doing WHAT IS EXPECTED. THAT is classless.
@@SteveSmith-eb6ze what is meant by "those people"?????
@@jimmccormick6091 Basketball players.
Props to both of them. Good to see that sportsmanship isn't dead.
But the W is certainly trying to kill it...
I can understand how the young lady thought she swang on her .. but then came back appogies so awesome
@@LafuerzaPR
Swang? ... swang? Appogies?
You forced your way into those words, auto correct refused to let me type them 🤣
@@thechuvakdb6972 do excuse my spelling I was driving.. for the frustrated teacher.. my point the young lady showed sportsman ship.
@@LafuerzaPR
Not sure the driving part makes it better 😅
But I got you.
@LafuerzaPR why you driving around commenting on these shorts lmao
😂
You can see DT and BG come up to tell her what happened because they saw it. Great sportsmanship
Class Act. Both ladies. Well done.
Well Clark didn't do anything wrong the whole time and actually only affected Copper in a positive way in this sequence whereas Copper maybe had a neutral effect on Caitlyn despite causing the only negative in the situation. Copper is not a class act for this and don't call them equal in this scenario.
@LightningMo3 You're weird. Clarke could have let the ball hit her but didn't. Copper realizing she was wrong went over to apologizes. Neither lady had to do what they did. That's the class that you are missing. You are dense!!!!!!
Class act in my book.. She just earned my respect because everyone else treats Caitlin like crap with no apologies and no real reason.
In fairness, Copper's team mates stopped her as well, which is cool. Good Karma all round.
Well said, I completely agree.
Because of everything in the media, its so good to see.
DT is such a senior player, there ain't no way Copper - or pretty much anyone - would argue with her!
I wonder if anyone's ever played more games or scored more points than DT?
These ladies are amazing athletes and the standard is so much better nowadays, it's great that the WNBA is getting bigger!
Anywaze, hope you're good ✌
Clark swatted the ball that will hit the rival's head
Clark carries herself well.
Much respect to her for protecting Copper. Class act to apologize for misunderstanding.
I think the tide is turning with the women of the WNBA. I have seen quite a few instances recently with players treating her better. It's awesome to see
It better turn, if she leaves the league, it goes back to nothing
Yep. Me as well. Hope it continues.
just the Mercury game.
I agree 👍 They are starting to realize how good and respectful she is ❤
Did you see how quick she was to wanting to have a problem with her? Yeah she came back to apologize but how could you not. She obviously tried to keep the ball from hitting her. I get in the moment she didn't realize that but she was quick to want a problem with her.
She's a true sportsman and deserves respect. It takes more to apologize and as admit your wrong then to just be wrong 👍💯
She's slowly winning over the other players in the league with her effort, attitude and complete game. B.G and Diana were right there to keep the peace. Respect
Yep Griner was all over it. Nice to see.
Don’t think you understand. Somebody up top said something. Along the lines of you rip up your golden ticket, you’re out of the league. Simple as that
I like that her team mates...seeing what happened...stepped in to stop her from confronting Clark & explained what really happened.
Much respect to those players.
finally someone’s being nice to her 😭
I know right 🤣
We will see this happen more as well as more players hustling and hopefully amp up their game. Girls can play the round ball but they been playing soft!
I’ll give DT the credit for setting the example for her team and hopefully the league
Copper was held back by her teammates & they told her what happened. Copper came up to Clark to apologize. I say Copper showed great character!
I still don't follow any basketball ( men or women), but all I know about Catlin Clark is from the same handful of clips played over and over.
Clark always has that situational awareness
Awesome. Thanks for showing the entire sequence.
💯
Agreed 💯%. I’ve seen this clip elsewhere without the apology and without identifying Copper and people were up in arms. This has a completely different message and even identified Copper.
@@sassenachdragonevil people love chaos. They want her to be hated to have a convenient excuse to be racist
I agree!!!! 👍
An actual sign of respect given to Caitlin Clark. Kudos to her.
Copper is a class act
Caitlin is too.
WRONG, if she was a class act she wouldn't have said anything in the first place.
Yes she is 👌👍👍
@@jamesjackson9606 You know nothing about the heat in the moment...adrenalin!
She’s learning
Mad respect for realizing you were wrong and apologizing

Class act on both of them 👍
Well done, Ms. Copper. Not many players would have done that.
Angel Reese would never have done that.
If others wouldn't have then they're toxic idiots.
That's literally the bare minimum.

She sure does

You think wrong. She is trash talking demon.
@@faatax1 what?trash talker and Ahole are two different things ...
@@faatax1you never played basketball before huh

That's why you should do the right thing, even when nobody is looking .
Natasha Cloud saw it all happen, it was Cloud and Griner that stopped it from going south.
@@MrSoulauctioneerit was Cloud and Taurasi who stopped Copper and explained. BG did see it too.
Watch again. Copper’s teammates held her back and told her what happened.
@@Brett33at least a million people were watching.
Sportsmanship -- this league needs a lot more of this
If anyone could complain about disrespect it would be CC. And she doesn't
More disrespectful than throwing up a shot after the play is blown dead and potentially hitting someone in the head with the ball, Sir? SMH
We want sportsmanship- not gladiator brutality
Both class act also the player that stopped copper from going after Clark
griner
That was Britain Gender I think
It was Cloud and then Griner
This is totally class to find out you made a mistake and correct it total respect
I believe they ladies are coming around, this is the 3rd video I have seen where they showing CC some respect
Props to CC and the player who apologized.
A class response, a gracious apology!
WRONG, if she was a class act she wouldn't have said anything in the first place.
@jamesjackson9606 so her apology was not a class act? I always think admitting you are wrong and apologizing shows class, but you obviously disagree. Which is your opinion and you aren't wrong to have a different opinion.
Your having a different opinion is not right or wrong it's just a different opinion
Respect to the teammates for explaining what happened and lower the temp during the misunderstanding.
Good on the both of ya. Cheers
It takes a lot to apologize, awesome job COPPER . Don't let Hate and other's control you. ♥️
Good on copper for owning up. Much respect to both.
That's how you do it. If you're wrong you admit it, apologize and move on. Good on Cooper for the apology. 👏
finally a WNBA team that has a little class and showed a little love and respect did Caitlin Clark deserves I live in Apache Junction Arizona and I'll think I'll watch some of Phoenix's games now that they showed a little class to what I believe is the greatest player in the WNBA time will prove that
They do seem like a very stand-up bunch of ladies and one guy. I like them they have class
Wow. Copper did right, with class and poise. Brittney and Taurasi also told Copper right away. Fabulous.
Instant Copper fan
She’s having a great year too
Now that’s good news. I want to see players playing basketball, not being petty. Well done , good sportsmanship.
Good for copper. Now I respect her
Oh well.. thank god. She was probably worried that YOU didnt.. lol. These basketball Karen fans, man.
Respect to both women, for Clark stopping the ball hitting away from the other woman and for her to apologise for being wrong.
Seems Guilty Until Proven Innocent, But That Was Refreshing To See
look how happy she looks to have a player not hate her. Class act on both sides. in competition things happen thats normal, but this is good sportsmanship
I know all these players don’t want to see it, but Kaitlyn Clark has class in every category she should be respected
She apologized,that’s class. 👍🏻
I love when people take accountabilty. Respect to Copper!
Also, 3 of Copper's teammates saw what happened and tried to explain it to her. Good on the teammates.
100% respect on both players' parts! Now, this kind of respect for each other makes me want to watch the WNBA.
The young lady no doubt about it is a class act, Bravo
I dig Clark protected Copper in the first place and yes Copper followed that up with an apology. I would hope this could be an example to others about respect gets respect, but most likely won't happen!? 🤷
Well that's pretty solid. Always respect someone admitting they made a mistake
And props to this YT creator not focusing on the conflict and ignoring the peace as so many other videos do.
That’s a true player for seeing she was wrong. 2 thumbs up. 👍 👍
Can definitely see how that was misunderstood. Good sportsmanship by both ladies. 👍
Cailin is a real class act! It was good & right fo Copper to police for jumping to conclusions. Shows goid sportsmanship both ways.
Now, the rest of the bullies need to apologize.
Beating up on people is not basketball.
Football maybe but not basketball.
Just play ball, that’s it.
Stop beating this great player up because you’re jealous.
Kinda happens to all the greats. Especially when they are getting all the attention and money. Happened to Magic. Happened to Bird. It definitely happened to Jordan. Until they started protecting the faces of the league.
Respect! Also to her teammates for letting her know.
FINALLY, people are seeing another side of these professionals.....
A class act by both. Love to see that sportsmanship
Finally some class.
I'm not her Mother, but I'm so proud of this Woman.
That’s called sportsmanship
Good for both of them for showing sportsmanship
I’m so happy y’all showed good thing that’s happening in their games
Finally the guys in the league start showing respect
Cooper, the apology? CLASS ❤❤❤
In WNBA, just respect each other. It's not hard. Respect to you, Copper

Being "ACCOUNTABLE" for making a mistake..... this is so RARE now days. Nobody take accountability any more. Class ACT.
That's nice to hear, she was able to see what really happened and knew she was being protected.
If you watch any Caitlin Clark game you will see more special defensive attention than anyone alive has ever got. Very odd that she draws such attention as a rookie
Thank you Copper for teaching good sportsmanship 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❣️❣️❣️
You can tell she was surprised to hear something positive.
Thats refreshing. No need to ugly to each other. Play hard and respect each other.
The class act is to not be offended at everything to the degree you have to apologize.
Damn she took accountability 😮 great job
all of those women are petty! caily clark #1 class act!
Hey I never saw this moment. Thank you for making a short. This a good reporting!
Clark is playing well with the Fever and should prove an asset for the WNBA. I still prefer NFL.
Now that is what I call good sportsmanship. NBA players need to watch this video
As a new wnba fan( like so many others!) I really think Copper is a solid player…after seeing her apology, I see she’s a good person as well. Much respect!
Real sportsmanship
Nice sportsmanship. Good to see.
About time media shows some respect towards Clark
Respect is a beautiful thing. The way Clarke received it was beautiful too.
It takes an awesome human being to apologize. Big respect for Copper.
Real sports woman. Saw her err and corrected it. Thank you for sharing this.
