If Steph or LeBron got eye poked deliberately, as Caitlin was? Whoever did it would be DONE in the NBA. Especially in a playoff game? They'd be shown the door.
Caitlin was gracious as usual. It wasn't just a finger, it was 3 fingers. Some rules need to be implemented to protect players. Like no long nails. Those things can put an eye out for real.
Just ban Carrington. Problem solved. Ratchet nails are just her secondary attack after body-checking Clark earlier in the season. As far as I know she's not a superstar. Time for a replacement who will probably be a better ball player anyway.
Let’s see what comes out of this. Fans need an answer. Will they change the refs and keep Arrington on the bench or eject her for the game-what will the WNBA do? So grateful for all the online support for Cc, but we need to see some changes before anything worse happens. We all know that when the Fever is out, all her fans will be out as well. I never watched a WNBA game before Caitlin exploded on the scene!
@@VIEWITIS Problem not solved. l believe it was intentional and l don't think the idea started with Carrington alone. Women will be women and they are mean af. Yes, l've been married and after my divorce, 21 years ago, l've sworn off women. l got comfortable with myself and l'm actually happier by far.

She tried that in the same game,C.C. elbowed Carington in the head ,(accidentally)when she tried to reach in for the sweep. Lucky Caitlin didn't get the foul.
She tried to blind CC with full intention! but funny: If Fevers are out, WNBA has 2/3 less watcher!!!! Even Top team get maximal 500 k Watcher and clark do easy 1,5 mio:D
Jabbing short nails into someone eye can scar a cornea or loosen a retina, á la UFC eye pokes. The length is not the issue. Carrington and the refs and the commissioner are the issue.
Length is an issue, but not as big an issue as intentionally eye poking. I agree nails should be clipped, it's Nasty and unsanitary, especially considering personal hygiene in relation to cleaning yourself after using the toilet. Gross.
@@VIEWITIS Length is an issue because the potential to do damage is far more likely and the amount of damage is greater than short ones; that's not to say you can't cause damage with short nails but the chance that short nails could cause any damage let alone significant damage is whole lot less likely.
I call it ghetto ball. It’s happening all the way down to AAU level. Coaches sending players to hurt to other teams best player. The Ref’s love seeing and possibly enjoying watching the female tussle and don’t call the fouls. This has been going on for years. It needs to stop! Seeing it at the pro level is just wrong on all levels!
I know you don't have the freedom to say so. Basketball fans KNOW that the REFEREE'S ARE ONLY DOING WHAT THE wnba HAS TOLD THEM TO DO,UNDER The threat of GETTING FIRED. Nobody is going to watch any more wnba games after Caitlin is no longer a part of wnba. She Will still be a valuable asset to any company that wants to use her as a representative for their BRAND.
So they give Dijonai most improved player after what she did to Caitlin. She got awarded for being a bully. She needs to be suspended. Donovan is a liar.
I thought she had 80% of injuries. I have been afraid for her all this time. And she only is 22 years old, still a kid. I am also concerned that more injuries could traumatize her. Cannot believe this is being allowed.
Caitlyn ought to start wearing Kareem style eye protection to protect herself since like everywhere else in the world- the criminals are running the show and you gotta protect yourself since they aint going do it
WHAT HAPPENED TO CAITLIN CLARK IS SO SERIOUS. THE “wnba” BETTER REMOVE FOWL PLAYERS FROM THE LEAGUE. FAIR PLAY MUST BE THE LAW. OR KISS THE MONEY GOOD BYE. McDONALDS IS HIRING!! 🇺🇸🦅🗽
Why would i poke her in the eye...because you hate clark, because you think she doesnt deserve the hype and are jealous, because your girlfriend is on the fever and not getting the playing time, because you re a thug, lots of reasons
These officials need to be replaced. Other than this issue they don’t know how to call traveling or palming the ball. How about underneath they do not box out the push their way in. That’s a foul folks. Coming from a 70 year old, retired official.
Even the question if intentional or not is outrageous. I can't remember, when was the last time that I saw such a repulsive and dirty foul, in every sport ever played.
Its not that they missed it the refs intentional ignored it and lets this happen to CC continuously for reasons that must be investigated and charges laid if necessary
Easy to fix. Tell the opposing team that if there is any further flagrant fouls on Clark, the player will be suspended without pay for 5 games AND the coach will be suspended for 2 game. This type of play needs to be stopped, from the top down. And while you are at it, ban fingernails longer than 1/4 inch. That’s just a safety hazard.
If this was done to Jordan, Gretsky, LeBron, Mahomes, Brady, etc, it would not be allowed. Caitlin Clark is single handedly dragging this league into relevance after 27 years of hemorrhaging money. Protect your most marketable asset. 🙄
Where are her teammates, refs, etc that's some sad sack shit...17%....that's hard for anyone, Angel is jelly as with most of the haters....what other player has been put thru the same?
When we used to play long time ago, the referees would inspect our nails and whether we were wearing any rings or earings. How come they do not do that anymore? Also, in our times, all our defence was on the ball, not on the bodies of the opponents. How come players nowadays are pushing CC to the ground even when the ball is not in play, or try to poke her eyes, or try to prevent her from moving?? That's not basketball anymore.
Imagine trying to wipe yohr ass with them nasty claws, and even if you could get ur rear clean, ur never gonna clean the nails afterwards, theres a reason scratches from long nails become infected immediately and automatically
Anyone who says it wasnt clearly has an agenda. These athletes have elite precision with their bodies. That was an unnatural play where she looks right at her and daggers her fingers downwards.. well after the pass..
Her hand and fingers went from being extended vertically during the attempted block to being extended horizontally and into CC's face after the shot was away. That reminded me of Bill Laimbeer putting his foot under people when they were airborne so they would twist their ankle when they landed on his foot. Dangerous and dirty play by somebody who has less talent and can't compete fairly .
WNBA fans and istaphobes can be fooled by Dijonai and CC saying the eye gouge wasn't intentional but NBA fans that have watched Draymond Green for years seeing him eye gouge 4 different players in 4 different Playoff series can't be fooled. Us long-time NBA fans know what it looks like when a player intentionally tries to injure a player but still tries to disguise it as an accident or say it wasn't on purpose after.
If it wasn't egregiously obvious like Carrington then a long suspension would suffice, but in this case it should be a lifetime ban from the league. Its's not the UFC. Eye poking is extremely easy to avoid doing in basketball.
Kids are being drawn to the game in huge numbers by this girl and the WNBA is putting on a thug show and calling it normal physicality. This is not physicality it is assault and is illegal. Cait leaves and we all leave.
Videos are showing what was committed against Caitlin and the refs ignored. Was it intentional? The answer, obviously, is found in the question, "are any of these assaults on Caitlin accidental?"
there is already a special whistler for CC. Its put your whistle away , and let them kick the crap out of the fresh fish. the TNBA (thugsNationalBasketballAssoc). The NHL has cracked down on crap , the clutch and grab , unckeck stick handle and etc. First year of watching the WNBA, and I've seen some of the street cheap shots on many players.
It sure looked intentional. Her face was turned in that direction. She might not have been looking right at Caitlin but she knew where her hand was and her fingers changed direction to make sure she got Caitlin in the eye.
Basketball is a game where a player is an easy target for violence. Need new Ref's and fine or suspend them as they have total call. Long eye lashes and long finger nails should be banned PERIOD. Tighter playing rules will speed up the game and make even more exciting to watch. Good players will elevate the game model players should find another job in the fashion world. WNBA doesn’t do a full 360 degree turn then punish them where it hurts the pocket book and keep the pressure on the NEWS that the WNBA are also subject to any career injury.
Why should the models leave if rules against physical injuries are tightened up? The league should prioritize beauty and speed if they want more viewers. Watching butch lesbians foul each other in the paint wasn't working for the WNBA so far.
Ice Cube's deal probably stands. She could get a few million from him and do social media if her sponsors really wanted the WNBA logo. I don't think they would care. She *is* the WNBA right now.
Again today... 2 players. No fouls called again. There giving the sun's the ball no matter what on defensive end. It's disgusting... guy ref and woman ref both.. disgusting....
How about this: No special whistles, but maybe, maybe just enforce the rules that are already in place and stop letting stuff slide. While no one is perfect, limiting the number of "no calls" would be a really good start in protecting the players.
She did a look at her hand and then she closes closer hand like a point and goes directly towards your I she did this on purpose anything to win a game this is disgusting in is more disgusting that people don't call it out
Of course it was intentional. Lol. Why do they have nails anyway? Even high school they have to have trimmed nail. WNBA needs to do better if they want to keep fans watching.
No. It was intentional. No might have been. Carrington and a teammate were standing near CC, mocking her, laughing at her, and dc was repeating the way she jabbed her fingers into CC's eye. After a while dc was interviewed on the court and she smirked and side eyed and laughed and lied. This is a must see. Eventually, she was interviewed again and lied and lied and interjected herself into it as a victim and lied some more. Kicked her out of the wnba permanently. She took her claw and tried to blind CC. Her claw was moving too quickly for her to just graze CC's eye. She tried to blind CC. If this DC woman doesn't get a just punishment, I won't wait until CC is no longer playing to stop watching the violence and hate and racism. I'll stop watching now. So do or don't do whatever you're going to. I'll give you two days before I shut you out.
I disagree with the NBA is more exciting game now, I think it’s boring. I don’t get into watching the NBA anymore because all they do is chuck up three-pointers 50% of the time and nobody plays D because you’re not allowed to. It’s a boring game I watch the 80s and 90s and early 2000s growing up and I love that game and I miss it. I like the physical play to appoint I want them to be allowed to use their forearm to defend the post or play physical D it is somewhat of a contact sport. What I don’t want is people grabbing them while they’re going up for a layup & dunk that can hurt somebody. I miss the physicalness of the Celtics Lakers Knicks Bulls the Pistons Bulls the Pacers Bulls games those games were physical ass games and I loved them. This weak ass wimpy ass flopping chuck up 40 to 50 three-pointers a game is the most boring ass game and I can’t watch it there’s no excitement to it at all. This girl reporter in the video doesn’t look old enough to have seen when Magic Johnson, Larry Bird & Michael Jordan came into the League. The 80s, 90s and early 2000s best era of basketball, hands-down. It went down hill for me ever since they went to this wimpy ass can’t touch anybody league. I disagree that the NBA elevated the game by removing all physicality of it. It’s really just a jump shot league It’s boring.
Clarke should go play in a different league in Europe or somewhere - WNBA and refs don't give a crap about protecting her. She's making them money... F them!
They gave Carrington, Most Improved Player, just before the second game. That's the WNBA giving fans the finger. They want to keep their lesbian hookup club. 1500 butts in seats... cool the NBA pays our salary.
If you think that wasn’t intentional you obviously don’t have a clue about bball. God carrington is the worst. They can’t keep up with her on the court so they get petty and pissed. And pull shit like this. Got to love women. Like are we surprised women are acting like this??? I’m not. Great example ladies
I’ve never seen such crappy officiating in my life. Because of it I’m done with the WNBA until they make changes. New commissioner, new coaches, especially the sky and fever. all new refs, and they desperately need media training and mental health evaluations before the season starts cause this year was such an embarrassment. Wonderful examples ladies!
The Carrington eye poke, what a defense, poking your opponents eye happens all the time, make shure you cuss while you poke then have your coach and teammates laughing about hurting someone, Mabrey is dirty.
Accusing Caitlin Clark fans of being racist. Is evidence of their own racism. And a good lesson to learn from. At least in roller Ball they had revealing outfits to keep the viewers attention. Good fighting is done by men. Sorry 😔
Video shows Carrington's hand going up and eye diving not toward CC's pass(hand should have being going to her left toward the pass! My appointed judge says guilty as charged"!
The AI narrator that starts needlessly repeating things turns this into a mediocre video. Maybe a human being explaining the relevance of Rachel DeMita as a commentator would have been useful early in the video.
They need to BAN LONG NAILS 💅
That seems obvious.
And how many black players would not be able to play then 😂
They need to ban Carrington first, then long nails.
Pretty shocking that long nails are allowed. Trimmed nails are sports safety 101.
And fire those refs
Take Carrington out permanently. Same way with Chicago. Same with the refs.
Well nobody will watch the playoffs now...maybe they'll get the message and I hope nobody shows up to the stadiums...
we should just stop watching the wnba@@JoonKang
Ain’t no might about it. She did it on purpose.
And that's a fact Jack ! 💥💥💥
That was a marshal arts move!
100 % it was
You did not show the video where Mayberry and Carrington are recreating the foul and laughing. That proves it was intentional.
Did you say there is a video of D C and co celebrating the poke in the eye of Caitlin superman Clark?
@@terrencehall7264The blatant recreation was caught on camera for prosperity. Then the re-creators lied about what they were doing.

Obviously intentional. CC is hurt and her dumb coach wasn't even phased by it. She acted like it was normal. That's outrageous
Couldn't hit 3s or pass anymore business figured she was o.k.
For her coach, it is normal not to back her players. She has done this many times and has lots of practice.

If you think that it wasn't intentional then you need therapy
That’s what I’m saying
Agreed

Get rid of the ref that didn’t make the call also. That was a dirty player and she should be punished by the league.
Why are Long Fingernails or Artificial Nails Allowed in the Games Played in the WNBA?
if the WNBA banned long nails they would be claiming that it disproportionately affected women of color therefore it is RACIST
Jabbing short nails into someone eye can scar a cornea or loosen a retina, á la UFC eye pokes. The length is not the issue. Carrington and the refs and the commissioner are the issue.

So do or don't do whatever you're going to. I'll give you two days before I shut you out.
Too much jealousy and drama in the wnba.I wish the best for CC but iam out.Not worth to watch this jealous woman’s.
Nothing will happen
I disagree with the NBA is more exciting game now, I think it’s boring. I don’t get into watching the NBA anymore because all they do is chuck up three-pointers 50% of the time and nobody plays D because you’re not allowed to. It’s a boring game I watch the 80s and 90s and early 2000s growing up and I love that game and I miss it. I like the physical play to appoint I want them to be allowed to use their forearm to defend the post or play physical D it is somewhat of a contact sport. What I don’t want is people grabbing them while they’re going up for a layup & dunk that can hurt somebody. I miss the physicalness of the Celtics Lakers Knicks Bulls the Pistons Bulls the Pacers Bulls games those games were physical ass games and I loved them. This weak ass wimpy ass flopping chuck up 40 to 50 three-pointers a game is the most boring ass game and I can’t watch it there’s no excitement to it at all. This girl reporter in the video doesn’t look old enough to have seen when Magic Johnson, Larry Bird & Michael Jordan came into the League. The 80s, 90s and early 2000s best era of basketball, hands-down. It went down hill for me ever since they went to this wimpy ass can’t touch anybody league. I disagree that the NBA elevated the game by removing all physicality of it. It’s really just a jump shot league It’s boring.
That's why I want her to leave the wnba and play for the euro league women's basketball,and let the wnba rot.
Long nails should not be allowed in a game. This is a a pro sport not a night out or a fashion show
Clarke should go play in a different league in Europe or somewhere - WNBA and refs don't give a crap about protecting her. She's making them money... F them!
Some of these woMAN just act like men . I am done with the WNBA if this keeps happening and I hope CC leaves and plays in Europe!
They gave Carrington, Most Improved Player, just before the second game. That's the WNBA giving fans the finger. They want to keep their lesbian hookup club. 1500 butts in seats... cool the NBA pays our salary.
They will do whatever to limit stop contain CC this time good or bad way....out of jealousy
If you think that wasn’t intentional you obviously don’t have a clue about bball. God carrington is the worst. They can’t keep up with her on the court so they get petty and pissed. And pull shit like this. Got to love women. Like are we surprised women are acting like this??? I’m not. Great example ladies
If reffs and wnba not going to do something CC should sue wnba for not protecting all the players
I’ve never seen such crappy officiating in my life. Because of it I’m done with the WNBA until they make changes. New commissioner, new coaches, especially the sky and fever. all new refs, and they desperately need media training and mental health evaluations before the season starts cause this year was such an embarrassment. Wonderful examples ladies!
Racism
The Carrington eye poke, what a defense, poking your opponents eye happens all the time, make shure you cuss while you poke then have your coach and teammates laughing about hurting someone, Mabrey is dirty.
Accusing Caitlin Clark fans of being racist. Is evidence of their own racism. And a good lesson to learn from. At least in roller Ball they had revealing outfits to keep the viewers attention. Good fighting is done by men. Sorry 😔
Video shows Carrington's hand going up and eye diving not toward CC's pass(hand should have being going to her left toward the pass! My appointed judge says guilty as charged"!
Yeah, she did on purpose so they would win
The AI narrator that starts needlessly repeating things turns this into a mediocre video. Maybe a human being explaining the relevance of Rachel DeMita as a commentator would have been useful early in the video.
Demita said Carrington's eye gouge was a basketball play.
Did she even apologize? That’s what everyone wants to know did she apologize?
No, she did not and she won't. The hate and envy runs too deep. She will NEVER humble herself to ever do that.
Caitlyn Clark paying her rookie dues. She handled all this like a G. WNBA is an amateur league.
