What's tripping me out about every social media post on this subject that no one's talking about is the referees. All you have to do is call a freaking foul.
Definitely. These rough plays and stupid flagrants are going to happen, and CC knows that and can take it, but man...you gotta call the fouls right. You gotta give her back what she's owed by taking it.
I want to know what it is the true role of the referees in every sport and why you can't say anything about them or you get fines? Im talking about the tv analysts, coaches, and of course the players. All I can think of is it has to do something with legal gambling. Why are they treated like gods in every sport?
Come on, let’s not sugar coat this more than it already has to be. They hate that Caitlin is the golden goose and seemingly “chosen one” to lead the WNBA to the level that the other players have wanted to take it, she’s getting million dollar brand deals, all the traction, and she’s the face of the WNBA alongside A’ja Wilson. there’s envy, resentment, and jealousy that stems from that.
Naw man, that’s why they are bitter because your saying she the face of the league alongside A’ja. These Casual fans don’t think A’ja is the face of the league at all, and that’s why alot of wnba players are bitter af.
It's all on refs to control the game. If you remember NBA 90s it was getting out of hand and suspensions and fines eventually work. You'll never get these women to think logically.
This is an underrated comment! But just take what happened in the Senate 2 weeks ago... the most professional of women have no problem being the most childish towards one another!
This is exactly what is going on LOL it's crazy... she's getting all the support from NBA players but all the old WNBA players are just straight up hating.
It's crazy how Rich Eisen can rationalize and say he don't mind this. Then turn around and said he wouldn't let his child to play like that... sounds like he talking out of both sides of his mouth....
CC got the short-end of the stick. Drafted to a team that is horrible, none of her teammates supports her and a head coach that is weak AF! STAY STRONG CC.
Maybe I'm just old at 38 but I don't want to see dirty play. Nobody wants to watch a bunch of benchers playing because the stars are all injured. Ask the NFL....
I remember the 90's and 80's NBA, they played harder, a lot harder and the stars weren't as injured as they are now. It's the softness that's got them that way.
I don't think this (Mr. Eisen's take) is an intelligent or edifying take to the world of sports whatsoever. How in the whitehot hell is more of this "Draymond" conduct good for the NBA? How dumbo with or without the big ears is this content. People are just looking to be shocking and generating reactions for clicks/relevance at the cost of integrity. SMH. Even with "FU" money this is just .......
Chennedy Carter does have a history of violence and retribution. She needs psychological and anger management help. Playing hard is the nature of the game. Great. But slamming someone in the back with a cheap shot is cowardly and unacceptable. Steph Curry went through the hard play cycle. They tried to bully and intimidate him. He got stronger. BTW he still doesn't get the calls. And he still gets the hard play. But he is now the face of the NBA.
CC chirping at Carter isn't cause for that flagrant foul. The Refs need to be better. They are letting too many of these potentially dangerous fouls go unpunished
It was Clark’s elbow to Chennedy’s face followed by trash talking that started the incident. Both are wrong and should get a technical by league rules.
I'm so happy some one brought this up. The average WNBA player can't afford the fines. It's not the end all be all but it is a big part of why teammates don't get involved. The fever are the youngest and on the lower end of the pay scale.
@@Quandryification The pay disparity makes it worse. You got people living in trailer parks attacking clark for simply making more money than them. Not one complainer put any effort into social media or self marketing. This is one the time stephen A smith is right, because it is so obvious. Stop attacking new players for their success, embrace it and advertise yourself to get a piece.
Eisen says you have to see the whole picture - OK Rich, show the whole picture: show the Chicago bench cheering the dirty play. That's basketball? That's "rough play"? No, Rich, that's how you kill a hundred-million dollar golden goose.
EXACTLY! Where were her teammates? This is good overall for the storylines in the league but her TEAM needs to be helping her. Its sports. She does not need a petty party but her team has to step in and fight back with her.
I'm just glad she didn't get hurt. Broke a wrist or something. Then what would the discussion be. Two things. First, the girl who was throwing the inbound. WTH, you see your teammate get blindsided and you're not physically on top of that girl making the point she's not going to do that, and the officials. Are they in on this?
Back to back weekends we've seen flagrant fouls by veteran players against rookies. Thomas assaults Reese and now Carter assaults Clark. This hazing of rookies by the WNBA, with the blessing of the league, MUST END !
She is 1 of only 2 players in league history to have as many points, rebounds, and assists as a rookie after this many games. Those are facts. So I dont get what people mean by what has she done.
These type of comments are why people are saying she hasn’t done anything. Let’s be real CC is a good player but the media and casual fans portrayed her as the savior/goat of the W before she played a game. Judging from this small sample size that we have seen. She hasn’t lived up to the hype. She has to improve and develop a lot of aspects of her game. (Getting her turnovers down, Shooting Percentage, On ball defense, Developing her off hand etc.)
Well she has the highest Usage rate on her team in spite of being a rookie which is why she has the number and her usage rate is very high even compared to veterans. That why her number are where they are. Which by the way still aren't very good. You and her fanatical fanbase refuse to understand this.
Talking about it is one thing. Being the person wwho is getting ganged up on and possibly physically injured, is another. And with no consequence to the offending parties. Talking trash vs beating up on someone is not to be confused. Too bad you find that kind of thug activity on the basketball court entertaining.
The WNBA players have been playing very physical basketball forever. Now that there are more eyes on the sport, people have a problem. Caitlin needs to have camaraderie with her teammates. They're not going to run to her rescue if they feel she doesn't respect them. The coach should step up her team building.
All I know is she needs a Draymond on The Fever. That women will be the 2nd highest paid women on that team. Jealousy and resentment mask themselves in hate. She’s the reason more casual fans are watching, especially her games. She’s not except from physical play, but don’t cheap shot her. Angel Reece cheering is diabolical, miss you almost got your head taken off. The Chicago Sky need not fines but to go back on Spirit for travel.
Mostly agree, though she doesn't need Dray; she needs CHARLES F***ING OAKLEY. WNBA has been an unwatchable layup line for two decades. CC looks like Curry out there and is watch her play anytime. Then you know what happens? Young girls emulate a style of basketball that people will pay for and we don't need to listen to whining about how nobody wants to sit through this dull crap.
THANK YOU. Gretzky, Jordan, Isaiah, lemieaux, bird/magic all went through this. The difference is they had backup. Steph changed the game. He had headhunter after him. He however has draymond green.
@@stingrey1571 Facts… Truth of the matter is this is a league commissioner issue. The leadership has to set a new standard. Going forward all plays like this will draw an automatic suspension without pay. These young ladies don’t make very much money. Missing game checks will make them rethink their actions. They have mortgages and car notes to pay. Second time offenders will be suspended for the rest of the year. Go play overseas in Greece and Siberia.
These women are so petty. It's a shame, what she has brought to the game is eyes. I sure as hell didn't watch the WNBA before Clark, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Swoops was great, nobody cared. Parker was great, nobody cared. Dana T. is a BEAST, nobody cared...These women better realize and realize quickly, or we go back to not caring. Petty is the word.
This is a toxic combination of jealousy over a white player out earning the WNBA with sponsor money before she started her first game...and no league should want that. The only people benefiting from this is the media. Don't promote toxic anger and jealousy like this Rich.
What kills me is im not seeing this level of blatant arrogance toward any other fresh player. Nobody is laying out brink or reese. Id understand if CC was being pompus but shes about as quiet as they come. Take it out on the media and not the player. Yall are fine with this but when she receives a career ending injury as a result of intentional flagrant foul, you will be singing an entirely different tune. It needs reigned in. Period.
Trash talking during a game is normal compared to an off ball foul. Carter didn’t want to talk after the game had no problem talking.on social media. And another player (Reese) cheering it on is just wrong. She was blind sided. If Clark fell and broke an arm or hand. You’d be fine with that. This wasn’t a basketball play at all. If you don’t see this as hate, targeting a certain player then you’re blind. Reminds me of Tonya Harding. When she gets physically hurt and out of the game for a year, we’ll see what happens to the WNBA.
@@jeanjacques7874 And the player who did it to Reese got a flagrant and ejection (as she should have) but it was also in the run of play. K Carters assault wasn't. And a common foul only called, not a flagrant. There is the whole difference.
1. I'm cool with physical play, but it's got to be smart. This wasn't. Clear as a bell in front of the refs, unnecessary, she was unscathed, her answer in the post-game scrum was ambiguous (either you brag and own it or be playfully coy). 2. If it's okay to flatten Caitlin because "she'll be alright", then it's okay for Caitlin to say whatever it is she said to set Chennedy off. 3. I want to like Angel, but she keeps disappointing: she's cheering like no one wants to do the same to her. All rookies get put through the ringer by a hardnosed vet - what makes her think she'd be immune to that kind of treatment? But keep cheering it on like a fool. 4. That was a one point loss, so the big picture shows that she basically threw away a win. In a time where gambling is legal, throwing away a win is a big deal. On purpose or not, keep this up, and the Feds will come snooping around.
Angel Reese literally stood up and cheered for a flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark when she didn't even have the ball... it's not beef or shared bad blood, it's the epitome of hating on someone in basketball form. A Chennedy Carter "Beef" with Caitlin Clark, is planets away from even the pathetic "Beef" like Lebron James and Dillion Brooks.
"The NBA Needs More Beefs Like the WNBA’s Caitlin Clark/Chennedy Carter Bad Blood" No it doesn't. We don't need to go back to the 1980's with dirty play. And the "beef" is just jealousy. Why do we need that from grown men? The NBA is doing great, great ratings, great fan interest, more talent than ever before, making billions of dollars.
Agreed. The last thing the NBA needs is "beef" play that inevitably turns into violence and THOSE GUYS can do serious damage to one another. It's also strange to say you don't want your daughter doing this, but.... But what? You want the pros modeling this kind of thing and, then, never mind what you saw there, girls?
I agree, i find this a weird backwards take. There is some serious jealousy or even some racism/sexism going on here that we do not need in the NBA. The NBA already has that with some of the talking heads.
But the aesthetics and competitive spirit of the NBA sucks. I'm not saying that the Wnba is better, but i can genuinely feel these women's intensity and competitive spirit.
They are out to run her out of the league. Its obvious to watch. Stop apologizing for them. The jealous haters are mad at people calling them jealous haters. Clark has done nothing to deserve this.
@@iamdebaby8152she could easily afford to quit or buy out her contract if she wanted. She’s a multimillionaire. If this stuff continues happening and her teammates don’t support her, that’s what she should do.
I think that cheap shots from behind in a non basketball play are not cool because someone could get injured from just dumb road rage moves but in the course of a live action play a hard foul or elbo or hip check is just part of the physicality. Yes people get injured that way to but i personally think a cheap shot from behind after the whistle simply because someone was talking trash is Busch league
Disagree . . . and that's OK . . . I watch for the game . . . not this unprofessional bullshit . . . Maybe don't call it "pro" if this middle school bullshit is deemed "great." But I do agree about Clark's teammates: They're a bunch of candy asses who are fine with Clark being thrown under the bus. Their team is pretty crappy and they've got no pride, so why not let Clark get nasty screens and shoved around. They're all looking for glory at Clark's expense.
Do you hear the hypocrisy Rich....I want to see more of this, but I don't want "my daughter" to do it...? Because yeah. What is is with you guys Being cool with the over the top contact? Its not really engaging to watch. At. All. What happened to flash and finesse and smarts? Why can't we have more of that, so more layups are MADE than missed?
*Caitlin Clark isn't b*tchin' about regular "ticky-tack" fouls, she's complainin' about "cheap-shots / dirty-plays" - that's the ultimate difference! Damn, I'm not even a "professional" basketball analyst 😖
"All she does is shoot threes", that's basically what they said about Steph Curry as well, Barkley famously said they'll never win a championship. It's odd that a basketball player in 2024 still doesn't understand the power of the three and thinks her tough girl act means something
Clark’s team, aren’t they the ones who don’t expect passes coming, don’t play defense, or play defense? They display the intensity of a newborn litter of kittens.
Uhhh no. We don’t need beefs in sports. If you like drama, go watch Lifetime. Sports is supposed to be about the SPORT at hand. If you need drama to enjoy a sport, then I guess you don’t actually like the sport.
This is so hilarious to me. They did this to MJ, Lebron, and every other generational player to come into any major league in the world. Yet when it’s women we all need to clutch our pearls and coddle the girl 😂😂 interesting how men complaining how soft the NBA is, are now btching and moaning abt how tough the W is. Just RUclips any WNBA defensive compilation and you’ll see this is how they’ve always played. If it’s too much for you (viewers) maybe professional sports isn’t actually your thing. Maybe you need to focus on ballet recitals or theater productions. No rough play there.
If you like it go watch UFC. We want to watch basketball. And don't try to spin it on her teammates! They were clearly shocked from this unsportsmanlike behavior, which was disgusting on a human level. And no, basketball teams don't need enforcers. This is not the middle ages. Let them play, and play safely, and let the best women's team win.
So many folks are surprised that Clark's teammates aren't helping her out. There's a reason the Fever will have the #1 pick for the third straight season. They're just not a competitive team, they have no fire, no direction, no hunger to win. Not to mention a clueless head coach at the helm. CC is on an island out there, doing what she can with scraps
You’re not wrong that sports need more of this. But the whole Caitlin Clark wnba situation in general shows how petty and how jealous women are and can be.
Hey Eisen do you think the chatter started on the other end? Do you think it was just CC talking? If you take Pat McAfee(who was there) word, he says the camera does not pick up all the crap being said to CC and all the hits. Chennedy said in one of her tweets, that her and CC Indiana teammates are good.
Same thing happened when lebron came into the nba. Older players seeing someone who is so young and talented is killing them with jealousy. Hopefully Clark doesn't get injured because nobody is turning in to watch them play.
Maybe I'm just old at 38 but I don't want to see dirty play. Nobody wants to watch a bunch of benchers playing because the stars are all injured. Ask the NFL.... I still can't get over the fact there is a WNBA player named DeWanna Bonner 3 hours ago CC got the short end of the stick. Drafted to a horrible team, none of her teammates support her and a head coach is weak AF! STAY STRONG CC. Beef is fine but there are definite underlying issues at play here. 22 If this happened in the NBA, benches would have been cleared, and multiple ejections and suspensions All I know is she needs a Draymond on The Fever. That woman will be the 2nd highest-paid woman on that team. Jealousy and resentment mask themselves in hate. She’s the reason more casual fans are watching, especially her games. She’s not except from physical play, but don’t cheap-shot her. Angel Reece's cheering is diabolical, miss you almost got your head taken off.

You have to be chidding me that the Chaitlin Chlark situation is still being talked about. It was chlearly a foul fueled by R and the player Charter should be suspended without pay. Chome on guys.
So you just let your teammate get beat up? I would bet that Caitlin would be glad to share if they would have her back a bit more. Hell she could even pay the fouls with the money she is making. If I was her I would privately propose that to her team. Maybe they could rotate being the enforcer for her that she needs???
@terry2346 - none of us know if Cc is willing to pay someone’s fines . That’s a big assumption!! How can you assume that by just being a fan? We don’t know how she & her teammates feel about each other, they literally just started playing together. Now coach sides should start team building events to create a family atmosphere.
Your a clown, what if this was your daughter? It wasn't an assault but this warranted a flagrant. Also, Carter has a history of thug behavior. And stop with the beating pistol Pete scoring bs. He didn't have 3 point
So...Rich doesn't approve of his daughter behaving like Carter did on the court, but doesn't mind when others are doing it? That's some rich hypocrisy.
Rich Eisen really disappointed me with 1 statement. I grew up with him, Stewart Scott, Dan Patrick, and Keith Olbermann. "I don't mind this at all. Do I want my daughter doing this on the court? Of course not, and I will like coach Weatherspoon, take my daughter aside, and let's not do this." In this statement he is saying, he disapproves of the action and it is beneath what he considers acceptable behavior from his family, but it is acceptable for someone who functions as his entertainment to do it. More could be said about it but this comment is already very long.
Yeah, good idea. Let's have enforcers like in hockey. That's a great example for all the 10 year olds in the stands. As a parent I'm loving that conversation on the way home. "Daddy, why were my heroes punching each other in the face?" Or ... parents could just STOP SPENDING MONEY TO ATTEND GAMES (and buy merch) and completely avoid uncomfortable conversations about unhinged bursts of aggression during otherwise healthy competition.
I applaud Eisen for this take. He didn't just side with Caitlin Clark like all the other sheep in sports media. He ALSO mentioned that Caitlin Clark instigated the confrontation moments before Carter decked her on the opposite end. Context matters and Rich Eisen gets it. You don’t get to agitate and then be a victim as well. Nobody is feeling sorry for Caitlin Clark right now.
There is context with something that would give you jail time when you do it on the street? Because that was outright assault if it were not on the court.
The fact of the matter is this doesn't happen in every league not even in the nfl and for you to say I wouldn't want my daughter in this is all you have to say. 🤡 who cares if people are talking back and forth on the court it doesn't mean you assault someone especially when the ball wasn't even in play. Just FYI Draymond has gotten suspended the last couple times as should the no name who cheap shotted her.
Why didn't they pin the coach down for the "that's enough" comment. Why? Did she order this done? Did she condone it? Why wasn't this asked? Did they think they could just get away with it? Such BS!
What's tripping me out about every social media post on this subject that no one's talking about is the referees. All you have to do is call a freaking foul.
Yeah its embarrassing that this was not upgraded to Flagrant after review on the floor and that Carter wasn't ejected immediately.
Definitely. These rough plays and stupid flagrants are going to happen, and CC knows that and can take it, but man...you gotta call the fouls right. You gotta give her back what she's owed by taking it.
I want to know what it is the true role of the referees in every sport and why you can't say anything about them or you get fines? Im talking about the tv analysts, coaches, and of course the players. All I can think of is it has to do something with legal gambling. Why are they treated like gods in every sport?
Beefs are fine but there’s definite underlying issues at play here.
They hate the golden goose is her…
Bad look for the wnba. Makes these other woman look petty. The NBA players even stick up for Clark. They know shes helping the WNBA popular.
Come on, let’s not sugar coat this more than it already has to be. They hate that Caitlin is the golden goose and seemingly “chosen one” to lead the WNBA to the level that the other players have wanted to take it, she’s getting million dollar brand deals, all the traction, and she’s the face of the WNBA alongside A’ja Wilson. there’s envy, resentment, and jealousy that stems from that.
Her teammates need to stand up for her!
Naw man, that’s why they are bitter because your saying she the face of the league alongside A’ja. These Casual fans don’t think A’ja is the face of the league at all, and that’s why alot of wnba players are bitter af.
You have zero ideas about what is actually going.
@@natureredux1957 and you do?
It's all on refs to control the game. If you remember NBA 90s it was getting out of hand and suspensions and fines eventually work. You'll never get these women to think logically.
Caitlin needs her Rodman, Artest, or Draymond. An enforcer that won’t allow someone to put a finger on her. They need that BADLY
Would’ve been cool if they could’ve traded pieces to draft Angel Reese. That would be fun
Or a SINGLE teammate to act like they care 🙄
Boston cares but she is not an enforcer. I think Nalyssa Smith could be an enforcer type of teammate

You don't mind trying to injure another player? Clark should go to Europe and leave all the jealous women on their own.
Hard play is one thing but cheap shots are a whole other thing!
soft
@@davidfam2147 soft? Grow up.
Charter flights, increase attendance, more TV coverage, and this is the thanks she gets!!!
Eisen says you have to see the whole picture - OK Rich, show the whole picture: show the Chicago bench cheering the dirty play. That's basketball? That's "rough play"? No, Rich, that's how you kill a hundred-million dollar golden goose.
EXACTLY! Where were her teammates? This is good overall for the storylines in the league but her TEAM needs to be helping her. Its sports. She does not need a petty party but her team has to step in and fight back with her.
Weak spoon reply was only a Chicago PR statement. Where's the suspension? 😮
you soft
Suspension? 😂
@@cjjacks33 Yeah Tspoon probably gave her a small bonus right? Gonna get Chicago a new nickname.
Carver is a repeat offender. She ain't gonna stop until something really bad happens. That's what repeat offenders do 98% of the time.
I'm just glad she didn't get hurt. Broke a wrist or something. Then what would the discussion be. Two things. First, the girl who was throwing the inbound. WTH, you see your teammate get blindsided and you're not physically on top of that girl making the point she's not going to do that, and the officials. Are they in on this?
Problem is. If Clark gets hurt. The NBA has to pay the bill.
If these happened in the grocery store that would be called an Assault .
Back to back weekends we've seen flagrant fouls by veteran players against rookies. Thomas assaults Reese and now Carter assaults Clark.
This hazing of rookies by the WNBA, with the blessing of the league, MUST END !
She is 1 of only 2 players in league history to have as many points, rebounds, and assists as a rookie after this many games. Those are facts. So I dont get what people mean by what has she done.
Right? They expect her to be the MVP after 3 weeks of her rookie year. Let the game happen people
These type of comments are why people are saying she hasn’t done anything. Let’s be real CC is a good player but the media and casual fans portrayed her as the savior/goat of the W before she played a game. Judging from this small sample size that we have seen. She hasn’t lived up to the hype. She has to improve and develop a lot of aspects of her game. (Getting her turnovers down, Shooting Percentage, On ball defense, Developing her off hand etc.)
Well she has the highest Usage rate on her team in spite of being a rookie which is why she has the number and her usage rate is very high even compared to veterans. That why her number are where they are. Which by the way still aren't very good. You and her fanatical fanbase refuse to understand this.
@@Lityoshi_ She's on a bad team. She can't do it herself and her numbers tell a different story about the year she is having.
@@natureredux1957 why would anyone use a rookie so much then?
Talking about it is one thing. Being the person wwho is getting ganged up on and possibly physically injured, is another. And with no consequence to the offending parties. Talking trash vs beating up on someone is not to be confused. Too bad you find that kind of thug activity on the basketball court entertaining.
The WNBA players have been playing very physical basketball forever. Now that there are more eyes on the sport, people have a problem. Caitlin needs to have camaraderie with her teammates. They're not going to run to her rescue if they feel she doesn't respect them. The coach should step up her team building.
Stop it.
It's the internet. Don't you know people don't want that logical thinking stuff around here.
Can you share a RUclips link to a similar incident from the wnba in the past? New wnba fan here and genuinely curious
@@SkunkLifeMedia 😆😆😆 This makes my day.
WTF tells you that CC doesn't respect her team mates?
All I know is she needs a Draymond on The Fever. That women will be the 2nd highest paid women on that team. Jealousy and resentment mask themselves in hate. She’s the reason more casual fans are watching, especially her games. She’s not except from physical play, but don’t cheap shot her. Angel Reece cheering is diabolical, miss you almost got your head taken off. The Chicago Sky need not fines but to go back on Spirit for travel.
Jealousy and resentment mask themselves in your very own words.
Mostly agree, though she doesn't need Dray; she needs CHARLES F***ING OAKLEY.
WNBA has been an unwatchable layup line for two decades. CC looks like Curry out there and is watch her play anytime. Then you know what happens? Young girls emulate a style of basketball that people will pay for and we don't need to listen to whining about how nobody wants to sit through this dull crap.
Nah… The WBNA needs enforcers to protect their stars.
They need a Ben Wallace, Draymond, or Laimbeer type.
THANK YOU. Gretzky, Jordan, Isaiah, lemieaux, bird/magic all went through this. The difference is they had backup.
Steph changed the game. He had headhunter after him. He however has draymond green.
@@stingrey1571 Facts…
Truth of the matter is this is a league commissioner issue. The leadership has to set a new standard.
Going forward all plays like this will draw an automatic suspension without pay.
These young ladies don’t make very much money. Missing game checks will make them rethink their actions. They have mortgages and car notes to pay.
Second time offenders will be suspended for the rest of the year.
Go play overseas in Greece and Siberia.
These women are so petty. It's a shame, what she has brought to the game is eyes. I sure as hell didn't watch the WNBA before Clark, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Swoops was great, nobody cared. Parker was great, nobody cared. Dana T. is a BEAST, nobody cared...These women better realize and realize quickly, or we go back to not caring. Petty is the word.
Correct
There is no place in the game for this kind of activity! Rich Eisen - why are you encouraging it?
Don’t forget that the ball was not even in play
She needs a Charles Oakley, or Bill Lambier on her side.
This is a toxic combination of jealousy over a white player out earning the WNBA with sponsor money before she started her first game...and no league should want that. The only people benefiting from this is the media. Don't promote toxic anger and jealousy like this Rich.
I've been waiting on your take on this for two days FINALLY !!!
Wnba where's the suspension ??? You owe it to your sponsors & supporters to protect your product. Weak sauce.
There was no suspension when Angel got choke slammed. Don’t be a softie. 😂
What kills me is im not seeing this level of blatant arrogance toward any other fresh player. Nobody is laying out brink or reese. Id understand if CC was being pompus but shes about as quiet as they come.
Take it out on the media and not the player. Yall are fine with this but when she receives a career ending injury as a result of intentional flagrant foul, you will be singing an entirely different tune.
It needs reigned in. Period.
Shout out to Rich for being the only "professional" to at least try to get the whole story👏🏿
Trash talking during a game is normal compared to an off ball foul. Carter didn’t want to talk after the game had no problem talking.on social media. And another player (Reese) cheering it on is just wrong. She was blind sided. If Clark fell and broke an arm or hand. You’d be fine with that. This wasn’t a basketball play at all. If you don’t see this as hate, targeting a certain player then you’re blind. Reminds me of Tonya Harding. When she gets physically hurt and out of the game for a year, we’ll see what happens to the WNBA.
Rich said he doesn't think Caitlin Clark is getting any more of the business than anyone else. This guy is turning into a joke.
Too true
People keep saying this but what other plays have there been where’s she’s getting the business any more than normal? 🤔
@@cjjacks33Angel Reese got choked slammed and not a peep lol
@@jeanjacques7874 And the player who did it to Reese got a flagrant and ejection (as she should have) but it was also in the run of play. K Carters assault wasn't. And a common foul only called, not a flagrant. There is the whole difference.
@@terry2346 Assault oh stop, she got hip checked.
1. I'm cool with physical play, but it's got to be smart. This wasn't. Clear as a bell in front of the refs, unnecessary, she was unscathed, her answer in the post-game scrum was ambiguous (either you brag and own it or be playfully coy).
2. If it's okay to flatten Caitlin because "she'll be alright", then it's okay for Caitlin to say whatever it is she said to set Chennedy off.
3. I want to like Angel, but she keeps disappointing: she's cheering like no one wants to do the same to her. All rookies get put through the ringer by a hardnosed vet - what makes her think she'd be immune to that kind of treatment? But keep cheering it on like a fool.
4. That was a one point loss, so the big picture shows that she basically threw away a win. In a time where gambling is legal, throwing away a win is a big deal. On purpose or not, keep this up, and the Feds will come snooping around.
Angel Reese literally stood up and cheered for a flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark when she didn't even have the ball... it's not beef or shared bad blood, it's the epitome of hating on someone in basketball form. A Chennedy Carter "Beef" with Caitlin Clark, is planets away from even the pathetic "Beef" like Lebron James and Dillion Brooks.
"The NBA Needs More Beefs Like the WNBA’s Caitlin Clark/Chennedy Carter Bad Blood" No it doesn't. We don't need to go back to the 1980's with dirty play. And the "beef" is just jealousy. Why do we need that from grown men?
The NBA is doing great, great ratings, great fan interest, more talent than ever before, making billions of dollars.
Agreed. The last thing the NBA needs is "beef" play that inevitably turns into violence and THOSE GUYS can do serious damage to one another. It's also strange to say you don't want your daughter doing this, but.... But what? You want the pros modeling this kind of thing and, then, never mind what you saw there, girls?
I agree, i find this a weird backwards take. There is some serious jealousy or even some racism/sexism going on here that we do not need in the NBA. The NBA already has that with some of the talking heads.
I have heard that interest in the NBA is in decline. Yet the networks still overpay for games.
That play would have been called in the 80s
But the aesthetics and competitive spirit of the NBA sucks. I'm not saying that the Wnba is better, but i can genuinely feel these women's intensity and competitive spirit.
They are out to run her out of the league. Its obvious to watch. Stop apologizing for them. The jealous haters are mad at people calling them jealous haters. Clark has done nothing to deserve this.
Rich just doesn't get it
She under contract she can't just leave😂
@@iamdebaby8152she could easily afford to quit or buy out her contract if she wanted. She’s a multimillionaire. If this stuff continues happening and her teammates don’t support her, that’s what she should do.
@@hw6664 u think Nike gave her 28 million to play in Germany? 😭
Rich???? not one word from you on the cheap shot flagrant actually being a CHEAP SHOT....COME ON MAN!!!!!!
"I ain't talking about no Caitlin Clark"...is this how a college educated person talks?
Grade inflation at it's finest.
Have you heard reece? Her social media let's you know who she really is.
Do you have a degree ?
I think that cheap shots from behind in a non basketball play are not cool because someone could get injured from just dumb road rage moves but in the course of a live action play a hard foul or elbo or hip check is just part of the physicality. Yes people get injured that way to but i personally think a cheap shot from behind after the whistle simply because someone was talking trash is Busch league
This is the best take I've seen on this situation. Good job
Why were her teammates not there for her? Race may be a factor, but people don’t want to say this.
Disagree . . . and that's OK . . . I watch for the game . . . not this unprofessional bullshit . . . Maybe don't call it "pro" if this middle school bullshit is deemed "great." But I do agree about Clark's teammates: They're a bunch of candy asses who are fine with Clark being thrown under the bus. Their team is pretty crappy and they've got no pride, so why not let Clark get nasty screens and shoved around. They're all looking for glory at Clark's expense.
That is a dumb comment. What the NBA needs is for the players to play 48 minutes. Use more of the bench
That's not what you bring your family to watch!!!!! Especially young girls
Thank you Rich! 😂
Would anyone be talking about the league with just Brink and Reese in the draft? No
What's Steph Curry if not just a 3-point shooter? Just like lark they both changed the game &captured the hearts of people around the world
Do you hear the hypocrisy Rich....I want to see more of this, but I don't want "my daughter" to do it...? Because yeah. What is is with you guys Being cool with the over the top contact? Its not really engaging to watch. At. All. What happened to flash and finesse and smarts? Why can't we have more of that, so more layups are MADE than missed?
*Caitlin Clark isn't b*tchin' about regular "ticky-tack" fouls, she's complainin' about "cheap-shots / dirty-plays" - that's the ultimate difference! Damn, I'm not even a "professional" basketball analyst 😖

I’ll take her over Taylor friggin Swift.
The more they hate her the more it elevates her stardom
You can hate the person but don't hurt the person.
"All she does is shoot threes", that's basically what they said about Steph Curry as well, Barkley famously said they'll never win a championship.
It's odd that a basketball player in 2024 still doesn't understand the power of the three and thinks her tough girl act means something
Three teams in three years? Next stop for Carter the Roller Derby.
The fever is a basket case and the coach needs to be replaced. You are right on about Clarks fellow players.
Clark’s team, aren’t they the ones who don’t expect passes coming, don’t play defense, or play defense? They display the intensity of a newborn litter of kittens.
Thank you Rich
Matt Barnes has already called out Clark's teammates.
Uhhh no. We don’t need beefs in sports. If you like drama, go watch Lifetime. Sports is supposed to be about the SPORT at hand. If you need drama to enjoy a sport, then I guess you don’t actually like the sport.
This is so hilarious to me. They did this to MJ, Lebron, and every other generational player to come into any major league in the world. Yet when it’s women we all need to clutch our pearls and coddle the girl 😂😂 interesting how men complaining how soft the NBA is, are now btching and moaning abt how tough the W is. Just RUclips any WNBA defensive compilation and you’ll see this is how they’ve always played. If it’s too much for you (viewers) maybe professional sports isn’t actually your thing. Maybe you need to focus on ballet recitals or theater productions. No rough play there.
If you like it go watch UFC.
We want to watch basketball.
And don't try to spin it on her teammates!
They were clearly shocked from this unsportsmanlike behavior, which was disgusting on a human level.
And no, basketball teams don't need enforcers. This is not the middle ages.
Let them play, and play safely, and let the best women's team win.
$1000 is like 3 game checks! 😂😂😂😂
No, that’s not what they need. They need what the wNba doesn’t want. A superstar that fills arenas with her skills.
So many folks are surprised that Clark's teammates aren't helping her out. There's a reason the Fever will have the #1 pick for the third straight season. They're just not a competitive team, they have no fire, no direction, no hunger to win. Not to mention a clueless head coach at the helm. CC is on an island out there, doing what she can with scraps
The coach is truly atrocious. They don’t even run a real offense 90% of the time.
Oh no.... The wigs are off in WNBA.. Reminds me of peewee basketball league...
You’re not wrong that sports need more of this. But the whole Caitlin Clark wnba situation in general shows how petty and how jealous women are and can be.
Hey Eisen do you think the chatter started on the other end? Do you think it was just CC talking? If you take Pat McAfee(who was there) word, he says the camera does not pick up all the crap being said to CC and all the hits. Chennedy said in one of her tweets, that her and CC Indiana teammates are good.
The WNBA is doing their absolute best to solidify their position of irrelevance forever.
Same thing happened when lebron came into the nba. Older players seeing someone who is so young and talented is killing them with jealousy. Hopefully Clark doesn't get injured because nobody is turning in to watch them play.
I want to see basketball game, not a boxing or wrestling match
Maybe I'm just old at 38 but I don't want to see dirty play. Nobody wants to watch a bunch of benchers playing because the stars are all injured. Ask the NFL.... I still can't get over the fact there is a WNBA player named DeWanna Bonner 3 hours ago CC got the short end of the stick. Drafted to a horrible team, none of her teammates support her and a head coach is weak AF! STAY STRONG CC. Beef is fine but there are definite underlying issues at play here. 22 If this happened in the NBA, benches would have been cleared, and multiple ejections and suspensions All I know is she needs a Draymond on The Fever. That woman will be the 2nd highest-paid woman on that team. Jealousy and resentment mask themselves in hate. She’s the reason more casual fans are watching, especially her games.

You have to be chidding me that the Chaitlin Chlark situation is still being talked about. It was chlearly a foul fueled by R and the player Charter should be suspended without pay.
Chome on guys.
A lot of these ladies don't make a lot of money. If they get involved, they will get fined and can't afford a fine like the NBA
So you just let your teammate get beat up? I would bet that Caitlin would be glad to share if they would have her back a bit more. Hell she could even pay the fouls with the money she is making. If I was her I would privately propose that to her team. Maybe they could rotate being the enforcer for her that she needs???
@terry2346 - none of us know if Cc is willing to pay someone’s fines . That’s a big assumption!!
How can you assume that by just being a fan? We don’t know how she & her teammates feel about each other, they literally just started playing together. Now coach sides should start team building events to create a family atmosphere.
Your a clown, what if this was your daughter? It wasn't an assault but this warranted a flagrant. Also, Carter has a history of thug behavior. And stop with the beating pistol Pete scoring bs. He didn't have 3 point
Her teammates dont like her
So...Rich doesn't approve of his daughter behaving like Carter did on the court, but doesn't mind when others are doing it?
That's some rich hypocrisy.
People have become so protective and sensitive over Clark that soon nobody will be allowed to guard her.🙄
Rich Eisen really disappointed me with 1 statement. I grew up with him, Stewart Scott, Dan Patrick, and Keith Olbermann. "I don't mind this at all. Do I want my daughter doing this on the court? Of course not, and I will like coach Weatherspoon, take my daughter aside, and let's not do this." In this statement he is saying, he disapproves of the action and it is beneath what he considers acceptable behavior from his family, but it is acceptable for someone who functions as his entertainment to do it. More could be said about it but this comment is already very long.
Elephants in the room are not to be discussed.... respectfully the Zoo Keeper.. Eisen you are comical..
They keep it very politically correct so that the truth is never uttered. o
Where was Clark when Boston was getting death threats?
Yeah, good idea. Let's have enforcers like in hockey. That's a great example for all the 10 year olds in the stands. As a parent I'm loving that conversation on the way home. "Daddy, why were my heroes punching each other in the face?" Or ... parents could just STOP SPENDING MONEY TO ATTEND GAMES (and buy merch) and completely avoid uncomfortable conversations about unhinged bursts of aggression during otherwise healthy competition.
Rich Eisen, catering to low-character individuals...good job, Rich.
Exactly
I applaud Eisen for this take. He didn't just side with Caitlin Clark like all the other sheep in sports media. He ALSO mentioned that Caitlin Clark instigated the confrontation moments before Carter decked her on the opposite end. Context matters and Rich Eisen gets it. You don’t get to agitate and then be a victim as well. Nobody is feeling sorry for Caitlin Clark right now.
There is context with something that would give you jail time when you do it on the street? Because that was outright assault if it were not on the court.
@@mikedebruynHow much time in jail does a hip check get you ? Come on man 😂
Facts
@@mikedebruyn If that was assault, almost every Pro player would be in Jail.
The fact of the matter is this doesn't happen in every league not even in the nfl and for you to say I wouldn't want my daughter in this is all you have to say. 🤡 who cares if people are talking back and forth on the court it doesn't mean you assault someone especially when the ball wasn't even in play. Just FYI Draymond has gotten suspended the last couple times as should the no name who cheap shotted her.
Why didn't they pin the coach down for the "that's enough" comment. Why? Did she order this done? Did she condone it? Why wasn't this asked? Did they think they could just get away with it?
Such BS!
