I don't mind fact that they lost but the refs not calling obvious fouls and not giving the fans and players a fair contest. It really looked like a rigged game. The refs, looking directly at the fouls happening just a couple feet in front of them and not making the calls, says a ton. Don't bet on these games! It's probably rigged!
Dave Portnoy should sue the WNBA because he made a large wager with the implied guarantee the games would be officiated fairly because it is against federal law to fix games in which bets were accepted in a licensed venue. Portnoy can then subpoena email and text messages and other communications. Clark faced 3 plays that her opposition actually blatantly tried to end her career and no foul was called. This has to some kind of coordinated effort because Engelbert did nothing about it even earlier in the season. In fact, there are times Engelbert encouraged it with her, "it encourages rivalries and bring attention to the league", which was a dog whistle to the league that it was open season on Clark. And in the last game it was open season on Clark to ruin her career with those 2 dangerous plays that the referees didn't even call fouls on.
They are shooting themselves in the foot as well, they finally get what they wanted, fans watching professional womens sport and even new fans to basketball are noticing that they are not acting professionally.
has any other "rookie" been treated like this this season? when refs look the other way it hurts your product. the league needs to be investigated for fraud.
Your last sentence says it all. Where are her team mates? Abso- fxxxxxx- lutely nowhere! The team mates are as guilty as the thugs by sitting on the fence or pretending nothing happened. The refs are, by their appalling decisions, either grossly incompetent or, more worryingly, part of the “stop Caitlin at all costs “ mafia.
The silence from the WNBA commissioner especially after the eye poke means that this mess comes from ABOVE the refs. CC needs to acknowledge this --- and leave the WNBA before they permanently injure her. She needs to go to the Europe league for more money.
The Ref's do what they're told by the league.. You think it's just the Ref's being so obvious.Big mistake by the W...to try and push CC out.. Hopefully the fans will boycott the rest of the play offs...and bring there rating's way down...
They stole the last two games. This is a criminal act. How do we know it is not fixed by the mafia? Class action lawsuit should be initiated to refund money paid for tickets.
Well, the WNBA successfully got rid of that interloper Caitlin Clack. Bravo! And guess what. You just turned CC into a martyr and drove away thousands if not millions of her fans. This is not going to wear well. You can count on it!
If they don't have money they won't. Write to the sponsors telling them their products are now associated with hate and racism. Tell them that you will not be patronizing their business as long as they support this unprofessional circus. I will help you get started: Delta Air Lines, New Balance, AT&T, Opill, La crema, Nike, Starry, and Michelob Ultra.
Everybody but a blind person knows that they we're trying to hurt CC..Not one reporter for ESPN even mention the no call's are Carrington assault... Which is totally what that was..
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS.. HOPE this leads to MAJOR LEAGUE CHANGE.. when will the NBA Players force their league to remove funding from this dysfunctional organization ?? New Management, new rules and NEW OFFICIALS need to be changed..
If CC leaves the WNBA she will automatically bring over 1 million + fans with her and the WNBA will just die... finally. I pray that she leaves, for her own sake and safety! ❤🎉
This kind of stuff doesn't happen without some kind of sanction from above. If the League had a problem with it, they would change it (new refs, sanctions on the refs, fines on the refs, public rebuke of bad calls...). I believe they think they are cleverly holding her back to "respect" the veteran players. It isn't clever and it's obvious as hell and it's going to cost them fans. When people get tired of watching them treat her badly they will stop watching (think wrestling).
The WNBA Commissioner needs to be replaced with someone who will support and advance the league while benefiting the owners. This Commissioner is running scared and is worried about upsetting a few squeaky wheel players who really couldn't care about the league except to collect a paycheck.
Does anyone remember GLOW wrestling from the 80s? The WNBA is basketballs GLOW. They would rather have drama than competition. that's a shame for a player of Clark's talent.
Pull the team off the court next time it's a blatant foul and not called. NBA needs to tell the WNBA clean it up or the gravy train stops and you fund yourselfs.....the WNBA would be insolvent under 8 hrs.
That was assault by a 'an oppressed person of the protected class'. Boycott the WNBA. I hope Caitlin finds a great coaching job and let the WNBA sink back into obscurity.
The inequity of fouls called is not normal. "In the WNBA, a typical ratio of fouls between two teams is usually close to even, meaning each team will commit roughly the same number of fouls per game, often falling within a range of 1-2 fouls difference between them. "
Would have loved to see a fair game between the Sun and the Fever. No dice. The bald clown ref and his friends screwed it over. The WNBA is a trash league.
The people running the league wanted her out of the playoffs. The NBA needs to stop subsidizing this Welfare league. Force them to actually fund themselves. The second they have to do that this nonsense will stop or the league DEIs
I agree. Before CC they were getting paid for being mediocre at best and never close to turning a profit but cozy and lazy in their play. CC comes in and now they gotta go to work and they mad about it.
Englburt and the league office. has already stated she/ they prefer drama over the game because she believes it will bring in more sponsor yet what large sponsor wants their name associated with that sort of rigged unprofessional business,she wants it to be a sports version of the view or some other daytime women's talk show when all the fans want to see a game not a cat fight or listen to woman bicker,WAKEUP and quit sniffing the credit card.!
Wokists want her fired. But the wokists want her replaced with a woke commish who would ban Clark if Caitlin doesn't publicly say what Paige said in 2020.
Quit watching ALL of it and instead write emails to the sponsors notifying them you will no longer patronize their business as long as they support this blatantly racist and highly unprofessional league.
Game one shot clock was so blatantly gamed that it was impossible to think the senior on site officials had been briefed ahead of time on what was going to happen, and ordered to not take notice.
The "malfunctions" only happened when the Fever had the ball and were trying to make a fast break, and never once happened when the Sun had possession of the ball. The announcers said the "malfunctions" were coming from the electronics on the belts of the refs that were triggered by their whistles to reset the shot clock, and that the problem was being 'corrected' by the scoring table manually taking over control of the shot clock. What I want to know is how the shot clock kept getting shorted 10 seconds every time the "malfunction" happened, but the electronics reset the clock to the correct time every other time the clock was reset. There was no malfunction. One of the refs hacked the electronics on their belt to be able to manually short the shot clock and I bet the crooked ref had money bet on the game.
It’s blatantly obvious and stupidly transparent that the referees are being paid off by someone. No reputable organization would purposely hire referees so inept and incompetent as to not recognize a basic foul or possess the ability to ascertain the difference between a foul and an assault.
Every play they didn't call a foul committed against Clark and string them together. It will go viral and it's enough to make at least an 8 minute video. You can combined the first and second game.
i will no longer watch or support any other wnba teams unless caitlin and her team playing. it would be hilarious to see how empty stadiums are with the other bully teams.
The W needs to cut financial ties with the NBA so that the league is based in reality and everyone buys into its success. A new commissioner is required to restructure many aspects of the league. Refs, thuggery, fake nails, racism, fan mistreatment, unprofessionalism in the coaching ranks and player interaction with media. Lots to change to help The W reach its potential.
Dave Portnoy should sue the WNBA because he made a large wager with the implied guarantee the games would be officiated fairly because it is against federal law to fix games in which bets were accepted in a licensed venue. Portnoy can then subpoena email and text messages and other communications. Clark faced 3 plays that her opposition actually blatantly tried to end her career and no foul was called. This has to some kind of coordinated effort because Engelbert did nothing about it even earlier in the season. In fact, there are times Engelbert encouraged it with her, "it encourages rivalries and bring attention to the league", which was a dog whistle to the league that it was open season on Clark. And in the last game it was open season on Clark to ruin her career with those 2 dangerous plays that the referees didn't even call fouls on.
The WNBA has gone to the EXTREME to shut Caitlin Clark down. Why? Because she is so good that they don't want any more WNBA records broken by a rookie, or because she is a white straight Christain and only cares about playing pro basketball? No-one in the entire WNBA has done what Clark has done as a rookie. Look at the attendance, everywhere she played was a sellout. Many games were moved to a larger arena to accommodate all the new fans. The WNBA Commissioner needs to be replaced.
I agree that the refs seems to swallow the whistle in regards to Clarke. The fouls on Clarke aren't questionable or even borderline, they are borderline flagrant fouls. Not sure why the WNBA management are choosing to throw their cash cow under the bus & Clarke needs to be more vocal about the abuse instead of taking the high road.
CC not only endured blatant uncalled fouls all season, but had 1/6 of all flagrant fouls in the entire league committed against her. That's not coincidental.
These certain people have an agenda…..Clark can’t go on. Foul her, hurt her until she can no longer play the game. They won’t be happy until she’s no longer a bball player. She’s blowing these other players up and they all told the world they’re there best. You can’t come in here and make it look easy your first year as a rookie, and if you do , we will hurt you and put you in your place. She proved they are not the best. She started the season as a lamb and came out a lion!
The problem with the WNBA is that the play is FIXED!! Investigate the betting system. Somebody is making money with a league that has run in the red for 25 years straight! New fans aren't accustomed to seeing sports corrupted and fixed like this. This corruption is the reason for the WNBA never catching on to mainstream, similar to the old Roller Derby, with scripted games. How many are involved? Looks like the old time players are comfortable and accustomed to this. Caitlin Clark is an outsider. She is still playing to win, and this is interfering with the manner by which their league is run. If the league goes legit, the WNBA betting will no longer rule.
Do you really think this? If you have any proof that refs are taking money, maybe someone reading this can actually investigate. (Like me!) I need dates and amounts and methods of payment though. Even proof of one payment is possibly enough to start investigating
Let’s play an imagination game. Let’s take CC’s Stats for her Rookie Year and assume for a moment that Angel Reese had these stats. Angle Reese would be walking away with ROTY and MVP and commercial endorsements of unprecedented level. The WNBA Commissioner has dropped the ball to build League Loyalty from the millions and millions of new fans. Rather than embrace these new fan with pockets flush with cash. She has snubbed them and the press release essentially says we don’t want your attention or money. Really? Does she really speak for all the underpaid players in the WMBA? They could be cashing in. All the WNBA Ballers getting a piece of this big pie. Are they going to let their racism get between themselves and a major payday for the WMBA? Player’s need to speak up and say oh hell no. Let the White girl play. Play fair and square and let the money flow…Wake the hell up and don’t let this be your legacy.
The WNBA is a corrupt orgaization. It is also very far left wing. And it is the Black Lesbian League (BLL). They despise (to put it mildly) someone like Caitlin Clark.
The new Fever COO and head of Basketball Operations must hire a couple of nasty enforcers to have CC's back. Once the inevitable fights break out the League Will be forced to fix the horrible officiating.
I don't know how much a ref gets to do a game, but if these girls are getting something like 80 grand a year, average, these refs can't be getting much to oversee the games. The door is wide open for the greased palm to look the other way in their capacity to officiate . Just remember, money talks, bull shit walks.
I don’t think there is any outside influence “greasing” referees palms. I think it is the WNBA itself that has mandated referees to see to it that Caitlin is treated this way. The WNBA hates Caitlin Clark due to the fact that she is more popular than their entire shitty little league. And now that they have secured their TV deal, they no longer need her. They want her maimed and out of their league.
There is nothing the refs or players can do, in the future, to keep CC from becoming so dominant as to show how farcical, and unskilled, this league is, and has always been.
I said this months ago and I think if you followed it back you're going to find out the Commissioners behind the whole thing that's why she's hiding and never comes out and says anything at all
The three shock clock foulups stopping Fever runs ,perfect timing for the Suns was a prime example of something not being right with the referees!! Never happened the other way!!!
I don't mind fact that they lost but the refs not calling obvious fouls and not giving the fans and players a fair contest. It really looked like a rigged game. The refs, looking directly at the fouls happening just a couple feet in front of them and not making the calls, says a ton. Don't bet on these games! It's probably rigged!
Fever's NaLyssa Smith also allowed 12 more points than her linemates scored during her mere 4 minutes.
Dave Portnoy should sue the WNBA because he made a large wager with the implied guarantee the games would be officiated fairly because it is against federal law to fix games in which bets were accepted in a licensed venue. Portnoy can then subpoena email and text messages and other communications. Clark faced 3 plays that her opposition actually blatantly tried to end her career and no foul was called.

You know it’s bad when the announcers point out that CC was fouled & refs didn’t call it.
The refs are either on the TAKE or they are being told not to call fouls for Clark! 🤨🤬
The powers that be do not want her to succeed, and that is obvious
It's hard to play against 5 determined women and two referees in a playoff game.
The victim-race-baiters of the W keep saying CC gets a "special whistle". What they don't say is that whistle is a silent one. Worst officiating ever.
All these referees and officials should be sacked and Fever coach should have done more to protect CC. And where were her team mates???
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
Your last sentence says it all. Where are her team mates? Abso- fxxxxxx- lutely nowhere! The team mates are as guilty as the thugs by sitting on the fence or pretending nothing happened. The refs are, by their appalling decisions, either grossly incompetent or, more worryingly, part of the “stop Caitlin at all costs “ mafia.
They lost another fan.....
CC needs to leave the wnba and let it crash and burn. Let them fail.
and people wonder why she gets so mad!!!! i am a certified ref and this league is a complete joke..
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
CC needs to leave the WNBA before she is permanently injured and can no longer play basketball
The silence from the WNBA commissioner especially after the eye poke means that this mess comes from ABOVE the refs. CC needs to acknowledge this --- and leave the WNBA before they permanently injure her. She needs to go to the Europe league for more money.
Yup, the league has no intention of stopping the mugging. A lot of the non-calls are for fouls that could seriously injury any player.
@@eddiemurphy15 Or I hope her joking about pro golf is for real.
TRUE! 😉
Now that the WNBA got their multi billion dollar TV deal, they no longer need Clark. They want her maimed and out of their league.
The Ref's do what they're told by the league.. You think it's just the Ref's being so obvious.Big mistake by the W...to try and push CC out..
Hopefully the fans will boycott the rest of the play offs...and bring there rating's way down...
I'll watch WNBA when Caitlin Clark and the Fever play again. Till then, I have better things to do!
They stole the last two games. This is a criminal act. How do we know it is not fixed by the mafia? Class action lawsuit should be initiated to refund money paid for tickets.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
And bets need to be refunded.
The worst officiating I have ever seen
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
Well, the WNBA successfully got rid of that interloper Caitlin Clack. Bravo! And guess what. You just turned CC into a martyr and drove away thousands if not millions of her fans. This is not going to wear well. You can count on it!
It doesn't matter. If no one watched that league they would still go on as before b/c POS Adam Silver and the nba will still subsidize it.
If they don't have money they won't. Write to the sponsors telling them their products are now associated with hate and racism. Tell them that you will not be patronizing their business as long as they support this unprofessional circus. I will help you get started:
Delta Air Lines, New Balance, AT&T, Opill, La crema, Nike, Starry, and Michelob Ultra.
Refs should be held accountable in the form of press conferences
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
Clean up the corruption and restore integrity to the game!
Everybody but a blind person knows that they we're trying to hurt CC..Not one reporter for ESPN even mention the no call's are Carrington assault... Which is totally what that was..
TRUTH
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS.. HOPE this leads to MAJOR LEAGUE CHANGE.. when will the NBA Players force their league to remove funding from this dysfunctional organization ??
New Management, new rules and NEW OFFICIALS need to be changed..
Truth, amigo. And this has been the case ALL year!!!
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
SPOT-ON! Nothing will be done about this ongoing problem.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot
@@HAWK11828 I believe we can make that change. They need us whereas we don't need them..
This league's mandate, whether spoken or unspoken, is crystal clear to anyone who has ever considered excelling in anything.
If CC leaves the WNBA she will automatically bring over 1 million + fans with her and the WNBA will just die... finally. I pray that she leaves, for her own sake and safety! ❤🎉
From the beginning CC carried herself with class this dumpster of a league does not deserve.
Now I'm just glad she still has both her eyes.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
For these idiot refs, its "no blood, no foul"! What an effin shame😤😤😤
This kind of stuff doesn't happen without some kind of sanction from above. If the League had a problem with it, they would change it (new refs, sanctions on the refs, fines on the refs, public rebuke of bad calls...). I believe they think they are cleverly holding her back to "respect" the veteran players. It isn't clever and it's obvious as hell and it's going to cost them fans. When people get tired of watching them treat her badly they will stop watching (think wrestling).
Boycott till Refs fired
No need to boycott, the fan base belongs to Caitlin, with her gone, attendance will tank!
The WNBA Commissioner needs to be replaced with someone who will support and advance the league while benefiting the owners. This Commissioner is running scared and is worried about upsetting a few squeaky wheel players who really couldn't care about the league except to collect a paycheck.
don't worry, No one will watch the WNBA playoffs with no CC when it's on NFL Sunday.
im done too...the only thing i will follow is the attendance and viewership, just so i can laugh
SO GREAT TO HEAR YOU SPEAK WITHOUT CLICK BAITING THANKYOU.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot
Not merely referee 'incompetence. But the W's complete silence about Carrington's felonious pre-meditated martial arts style assault on Clark.
Does anyone remember GLOW wrestling from the 80s? The WNBA is basketballs GLOW. They would rather have drama than competition. that's a shame for a player of Clark's talent.
Pull the team off the court next time it's a blatant foul and not called. NBA needs to tell the WNBA clean it up or the gravy train stops and you fund yourselfs.....the WNBA would be insolvent under 8 hrs.
Sides won't. She is needs to do better by her team.
That was assault by a 'an oppressed person of the protected class'. Boycott the WNBA. I hope Caitlin finds a great coaching job and let the WNBA sink back into obscurity.
The refs are being paid off to not call fouls on CC
There should be a court-ordered audit of the WNBA's operation and officiating.
The eye gouge was it for me. Done.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, same here
All refs should be fired
Ref probably had money on the game so no call so they can get paid
The inequity of fouls called is not normal. "In the WNBA, a typical ratio of fouls between two teams is usually close to even, meaning each team will commit roughly the same number of fouls per game, often falling within a range of 1-2 fouls difference between them. "
Just look at the odds. The refs cheated for the bookie houses. As they always do in every sport.
It was not poor. It was intentionally one-sided. RIP WNBA.
Accountability? yah, good luck with that. Right in their faces and no call, says it all.
Hard to have a fair contest when it's five against eight!
The three stooges
Very good analysis. You speak very well. And you're right. No real guy can tolerate manifest unfairness.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot
They have to being paid on the backend -- why would they want her to fail?? They should benefit if the league does well.
This video is amazing.
Would have loved to see a fair game between the Sun and the Fever. No dice. The bald clown ref and his friends screwed it over. The WNBA is a trash league.
even with having 10 more free throws than the fevers and the fevers not getting foul calls, the suns only won by 6...thats a shame on the wnba
The people running the league wanted her out of the playoffs.
The NBA needs to stop subsidizing this Welfare league.
Force them to actually fund themselves. The second they have to do that this nonsense will stop or the league DEIs
I agree. Before CC they were getting paid for being mediocre at best and never close to turning a profit but cozy and lazy in their play. CC comes in and now they gotta go to work and they mad about it.
Englburt and the league office. has already stated she/ they prefer drama over the game because she believes it will bring in more sponsor yet what large sponsor wants their name associated with that sort of rigged unprofessional business,she wants it to be a sports version of the view or some other daytime women's talk show when all the fans want to see a game not a cat fight or listen to woman bicker,WAKEUP and quit sniffing the credit card.!
Wokists want her fired.
But the wokists want her replaced with a woke commish who would ban Clark if Caitlin doesn't publicly say what Paige said in 2020.
Quit watching ALL of it and instead write emails to the sponsors notifying them you will no longer patronize their business as long as they support this blatantly racist
and highly unprofessional league.
They knew how good she was or could become. Kept her off the USA Olympic team to spite her.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot, i agree
This took place in front of 3.5 million viewers by the way!if they call the game fairly cc would average 27ppg but the wnba doesn’t want that.😂
Make your money do the talking. Don't watch WNBA matches. The season is over.

They reach in on her ALL THE TIME.
It’s blatantly obvious and stupidly transparent that the referees are being paid off by someone. No reputable organization would purposely hire referees so inept and incompetent as to not recognize a basic foul or possess the ability to ascertain the difference between a foul and an assault.
Fines against players and wnba for misconduct
Every play they didn't call a foul committed against Clark and string them together. It will go viral and it's enough to make at least an 8 minute video. You can combined the first and second game.
Watch the playoff ratings sink like the Titanic......they get what they deserve
in the above picture is a foul as the defender hit the forearm of CC. not to mention the shoulder hitting the off arm of CC.
i will no longer watch or support any other wnba teams unless caitlin and her team playing. it would be hilarious to see how empty stadiums are with the other bully teams.
We need a male commissioner or someone with a spine and I’m a female. Seems like she can’t take a stance on so many matters.
*Because it's called PRISON BALL.*
Wrong. It is called PRISON YARD BALL.
Thank you for an excellent presentation.
thanks for the comment, really appreciate it alot
What the?? No harm no foul? Are we gonna have to wait until bloods coming out of her or worse??
The W needs to cut financial ties with the NBA so that the league is based in reality and everyone buys into its success. A new commissioner is required to restructure many aspects of the league.

Dave Portnoy should sue the WNBA because he made a large wager with the implied guarantee the games would be officiated fairly because it is against federal law to fix games in which bets were accepted in a licensed venue. Portnoy can then subpoena email and text messages and other communications. Clark faced 3 plays that her opposition actually blatantly tried to end her career and no foul was called. This has to some kind of coordinated effort because Engelbert did nothing about it even earlier in the season. In fact, there are times Engelbert encouraged it with her, "it encourages rivalries and bring attention to the league", which was a dog whistle to the league that it was open season on Clark. And in the last game it was open season on Clark to ruin her career with those 2 dangerous plays that the referees didn't even call fouls on.
Basketball is a close game and the refs can easily sway a game with bad judgements and not calling fouls
Gambling Gate keepers, follow the money..
Refs call the game as directed by the commissioner.
The WNBA has gone to the EXTREME to shut Caitlin Clark down. Why? Because she is so good that they don't want any more WNBA records broken by a rookie, or because she is a white straight Christain and only cares about playing pro basketball?

Refs are betting on the games and shaving points.
That is possible.
@@rmoreland3583 That's what initally was said about Pete Rose.
The refs are employees of the league. The league wanted this outcome. Irrelevance. Wnba looks more like WWE than a legitimate sports league.
If this is not a foul, then something is wrong with the referees. They should all be sacked and banned from the industry.
I agree that the refs seems to swallow the whistle in regards to Clarke. The fouls on Clarke aren't questionable or even borderline, they are borderline flagrant fouls. Not sure why the WNBA management are choosing to throw their cash cow under the bus & Clarke needs to be more vocal about the abuse instead of taking the high road.
I won't be watching no more WNBA till CC is back on the floor.

Yep Bird had Chief and McHale. And after Birds first year and really during his first warm up people got let go who didnt play ball so to speak.

The door is wide open for the greased palm to look the other way in their capacity to officiate . Just remember, money talks, bull shit walks.
I don’t think there is any outside influence “greasing” referees palms. I think it is the WNBA itself that has mandated referees to see to it that Caitlin is treated this way.
The WNBA hates Caitlin Clark due to the fact that she is more popular than their entire shitty little league.
And now that they have secured their TV deal, they no longer need her. They want her maimed and out of their league.
There is nothing the refs or players can do, in the future, to keep CC from becoming so dominant as to show how farcical, and unskilled, this league is, and has always been.
CC is living her dream by playing in the wnba. From what I’ve seen of this woman, she would rather work to make the league better than leave it!
stop watching wnba since the fever eliminated
I said this months ago and I think if you followed it back you're going to find out the Commissioners behind the whole thing that's why she's hiding and never comes out and says anything at all
The three shock clock foulups stopping Fever runs ,perfect timing for the Suns was a prime example of something not being right with the referees!! Never happened the other way!!!
Even the table officials cooked the Fever on their fastbreaks by setting shot clock to 14 lol
Thanks for telling it like it is.
