intentional or not?

I've never seen a player who has done so much for a struggling league get so much blatantly unfair treatment. You'd think they'd be protecting their meal ticket, but instead it's the opposite. And we all know why.
A couple rainbow emoji’s on her social media page during June, a BLM bumper sticker on her car, and a clear unequivocal endorsement of Kamala Harris would solve all her current troubles.
It’s because they are jealous. It’s that simple. I live in a house full of women. This is standard operating procedure.
Zero doubt that it was intentional, and I don’t know what the league’s reaction will be, but that girl deserves the equivalent of what used to happen when an opposing pitcher plunks one of your guys
I've heard a number of times that not being part of the alphabet soup gang in the wnba gets you targeted.
I don't really like to see blatant stereotyping of half the Earth's human population...
Unless it's blatantly accurate.
Maybe. But I think it's that they are just jealous. It was a long time ago when my daughter played basketball, but I know how they acted to each other in high school, much less now that they are getting paid to play. I find it funny that they still shake hands after they play.
Intentional IMO...
Jamming fingers into someone's eyeball like that could cause permanent damage. It doesn't matter what someone's skin color is, what side of the plate they prefer to hit from or what they like to spell in their alphabet soup - that should result in a fine at a minimum. But a fine and suspension would be a better deterrent of intentional acts.

The league won't do anything about this. The WNBA leadership has the same opinions about Caitlin Clark that the WNBA players do.
Taking either Clark or angel reece to the Olympics would have gotten way more eyes watching. They left both off. There is a LOT of pettiness in the WNBA.
WNBA players criticize commissioner for downplaying social media vitriol
Asked about "menacing" social media comments, Cathy Engelbert focused her answer on the WNBA's rise in popularity, which didn't sit well with players.

WNBA leadership is so giddy about the money they are making off of Clark and Clark / Reese to the point where they pissed off their own players
It's the WNBA. That was real time***
I'll admit I have watched some WNBA for the first time in my life this season. My daughter is a huge fan of CC and I think she is someone I don't mind her looking up to. She signs autographs for kids, is a good teammate, doesn't blame others, etc.
That being said, if she gets some sort of career ending injury because the WNBA didn't prevent it, I'll never watch another game ever. And my daughter probably won't either. My bet is there are a lot of people like me since attendance went up 180% from last season.

Looks like tbay is done taking his break from posting Twitter videos about the WNBA.
Such an odd thing to start so many threads about over the last 5 months.
As for the eye poke- thats 17ing brutal to watch. Its like perfectly placed and timed. That isnt a natural follow thru and even if the player wasnt trying to poke an eye, it sure seems like an excessive movement and should be hit with some sort of fine.
Related note- I chuckle at how many on SPS are proud that they havent watched the NBA since the 80s and call the current NBA players soft, yet many of them comment on Clark threads and get all worked up over how Clark is subjected to contact that is unjustly physical.

WNBA players are racist. And dumb.

I think the league should sponsor view parties of "Am I Racist?" with breakout sessions afterward for all WNBA players and staff.
Let's figure out who the racists are and get this thing solved...
NBA players have been very vocal about not wanting the better European players to show them up, win MVPs or be recognized as being in the All NBA discussion. It's almost like they're openly saying they won't replace us ***
WNBA players absolutely hate that CC is showing that she belongs in "their" league. In the words of the great Rodney King Why can't we all just get along?***
Both scenarios expand the game's reach and is good for the leagues. I don't understand attacking the very thing that increases the whole leagues earning power. It's not logical so IT has to be something else....hmmm.

We've had this discussion multiple times, but there have been plenty of lily white players before CC who weren't treated badly. These two ladies have two MVP trophies each...
I think it's probably simple jealousy at the high status she has achieved, but I certainly don't know anything for sure.
She could make a whole lot money playing overseas, but needs to play in the WNBA for endorsements. The Fever needs to sign an enforcer in the off-season, like Big Tea…. Their 2 best players are guards and they really don’t have much size
You can take a girl out of the ghetto...
Clark has a $28M shoe deal. The players fouling her hard make $50K

But I think both of those ladies check the aLphabet soup box.
“That baby is rice skinded. That is a Caucasian from the Mountains of Caucuses. That is a Slavic baby, a Viking from Iceland. That baby got a 730 credit rating right now as an infant.”
All women hate other women, so why does this stuff surprise anyone?
Indiana has Aliyah Boston in the post. She's 6'5" 220. She was also the Wooden Award winner at South Carolina and the WNBA Rookie of the Year last year.
