Refusing to answer does not mean someone is unable to answer. There's a difference. If the Indiana Fever loses, they ask the opposing team about Caitlin Clark. If the Fever wins, they ask the opposing team about Caitlin Clark. There are others on the team. Talk to that team about that team.
First time seeing a inbound huh. You position while ball is out of bounds. There will be checks ND tussles. She flopped. Stop treating grown woman like girls.
Carter not verbally backing her premeditated full of hatred actions has proven her to be a weak minded human. Props to Caitlin showing way more class after the outcome.
What class has Clark shown because she ain't innocent she have did alot of classless things! For instance, when she did the John Cena to Van Lith and mocking the SC player! And for the media to keep talking about this over a lip bump is crazy! Get over it and move on!

It’s not physicality, it’s poor sportsmanship. There’s a reason the WBNA hasn’t had higher viewership and this is it. Caitlin has handled this and everything else with professionalism and grace. I’m a new viewer and if this is “welcome to the WNBA,” I’m not staying. You want more fans and money in the league, become more positive. Have it be a sport mom’s want their girls to watch.

It wasn’t a hard foul, it was a Flagrant and dangerous foul!!! Stop saying Clark deserved it by jawing and talking, making excuses for a thug is BS and you all know it!!!!!
I know your skin color from your biased reaction... That check would do nothing to me... Or Caitlin. She is a yapper and a flopper... Stop being racist

Cheap shots are cheap shots and should not be tolerated as part of any sport. With a ridiculously brutal schedule to open the season and terrible officiating, the WNBA has certainly welcomed Caitlin, and the millions of new fans following her, to the WNBA. Very stupid treatment of a college superstar who is selling out stadiums and breaking TV viewership records wherever she goes.
She better get used to it or give it back. Jordan and the Bulls had to toughen up.. this is nothing compared to what the Pistons used to do to Jordan and the Bulls.
@@gashousegorillas1 then you have never played ball. Someone goes at you, you got to give it back. The hit on Clark was a love tap in my opinion. Clark did what she needed to do to get the foul.
Nice that you all are yucking it up. Carter basically assaulted Clark. The ball wasn’t even in bounds. It was a total hack move. Carter has already been cut from 2 teams for bad behavior. On the Atlanta team, she threatened to beat up her own teammate. Players shouldn’t have to deal with animalistic behavior like that. Intentional fouls are NOT okay and should NOT just be the way it goes. Accidental fouls while playing are okay. And the fact that some of those women are brawny is okay. But clocking someone from behind while the ball isn’t even in play is assault. Period. Carter should be cut for the third time NOW. And Thomas should be out of the league too for throwing Angel Reece to the ground. She could have gotten a serious brain injury.
I love how Michael Strahan corrected Robin who made a remark about it being a "physical game." What a poor excuse. Robin should know better, especially at her big age. If these players want to fight, they should step into a boxing ring. Better yet, a UFC octagon.
Please. Don't insult everyone with the nonsense of "rookies have to expect treatment like Carter's mugging of Clark." Rookies should not "have" to expect being mistreated just to provide an excuse for veteran players to vent their anger over being ignored, unappreciated and underpaid in prior years. And when veteran players offer this juvenile and insulting explanation, it goes nowhere with the fans who are thinking "Don't go pissing on my back and try telling me its raining."
I’ve seen several announcers say this. This is no welcome to the league moment it’s a dirty play. To suggest rookies have to ensure cheap dangerous shots is insanity. I say it again the wnba should have responded quickly to this. They are not ready for prime time.
The WNBA should have taken action weeks ago to address deliberate illegal fouls against Caillin! Further, Caitlin's teammates need to step-up against deliberate physical assaults towards Caitlin on the court! Any player that assaulted an NBA star player would not go without immediate retribution from his teammate! Come on Fever protect Caitlin and kick ass! And, Fever's head coach needs to GO!
Hey, at least everyone is talking about women's basketball. Who gives a damn if Caitlin gets hurt. That is basically what these fools are saying, except for Micheal Strahan. It was the black MAN that had to point out to the WOMEN that this was wrong. Imagine that. GIRL POWER.
@@nicholasmallard2926 - Ive seen the trash talk and overly physical games that deserve fouls. That is what I saw back & fourth between the two ... But you are saying, THAT justifies coming up from behind someone on the court and pushing them down, and the ball isn't even in play? I think all players should be able to feel safe on the court when the clock isn't running that someone isn't going to come up from behind them and aggressively push them down ... This would happen every night in the WNBA and NBA if that was allowed due to trash talk and overly physical competitive play ... I guess I dont get your point as I dont see those things being equitable.
Whether this is done in the NBA or WNBA, it is not acceptable. Chennedy purposely committed a flagrant foul on CC and A Reese was also given a cheap shot by Thompson. Both instances were wrong. Both players could've been hurt or career ending injuries. I also see the fragrance is more obvious towards CC. There's a lot of jealousy towards her for obvious reasons. CC is a stand up pro athlete and is handling the bs well based off her post game interviews and how she answers the questions. Any player that commits a flagrant foul should given a one game suspension and a fine (doesn't matter who the athlete is). It's just very unsportsmanlike in general.
Carter has already been expelled from wnba China leagues! She likes to punch her teammates. But that’s not a problem for her Coach Witherspoon who didn’t even bench her after the shoulder punch.
I think it would be appropriate if Carter was concerned about the image her action makes for the WNBA and the Chicago Sky. Chennedy Carter is a great player, but she might want to rethink her sportsmanship.
A garbage cheap shot, from a garbage player. 4th overall pick, fired from her 1st team for " threatening teammates", picked up by LA, Dropped mei season for " conduct detrimental to the team. Spent a year playing Europe, picked up this year by Chicago, and assaults a player 7 games into the season? Garbage
If the refs aren't making correct calls, it's affecting the final score. It was a blind-sided hit. On an inbound pass, from the baseline. Normally, you don't see that, by the other team. There was a lot of space to rule the flagrant foul. In Hockey, that's a charging call. I'm surprised that Carter didn't ever experience trash talking, before. It happens in games. Carter did the same. It looked like Caitlin turned around to talk to Carter after Carter said something.
@@gashousegorillas1 The usual suspects wouldn't even be here if not for the "you-know-who's" bringing them here as a future bioweapon. Dontell Jackson explains it well...
Yeah and to be honest there are a lot of players not just the veterans that are jealous of this young lady but she deserves all the accolades that she's getting unfortunately she has to deal with all the hatred and the jealousy that comes with it as well but she is handling it like a true champion!!!
@@johnnythunder196angel Reece got assaulted too in other game. At least her assaulter got ejected from the game. That’s the minimum that should have happened to Carter…. But Angel cheered when it happened to Caitlin. Angel showed everyone who she really is when she jumped to her feet (off the bench) and clapped after the dirty shot. So, Robin is just clueless about how low rent the wnba is. If that’s how it has been, it shouldn’t continue to be that way.
Carter has to apologize for her embarrassing action … unable to do … be expelled from WNBA … Carter is an embarrassment … WNBA don’t need this kind of players in WNBA …
That wasn’t just a common foul ! Chenneday called her a b**** and blatantly hard shouldered her. She should have been ejected ! She’s been thrown out of teams in the past for her aggression.
Anyone trying to argue this is just "competitiveness" and that there isn't jealousy is just gaslighting, considering Carter's dismissive response after the game, and the shade she threw at Caitlin almost immediately after on her social media.
Ugh ... CC fans put a wedge into her rapport building with teammates, players and the league with this insanely childish repetitive "jealousy" conspiracy mantra -- that CC really doesn't want tied to her brand as well, not to mention is actually HURTS her brand. As: 1) You aren't helping her with such statements as it's divisive. 2) You are insulting a mass group of people(s). 3) It's so dumb .... I dont hear men go on these tirades about lame ass "jealousy" conspiracies towards each other, nor obsess on concerns about players race and sexuality. It's so unfair how BOTH men and women put women thru the ringer on these things. It's gross ... And honestly, the sexual/racial diversity is something that I find awesome and to be celebrated -- and quite honestly reflects the upcoming generations more. Which I think is cool. The WNBA is terrible at marketing ..... Signed an Iowa native/grad.
@@marceybull "I don't hear men go on these tirades about lame ass jealousy." That's because the men in the NBA ain't catty like that. You see anyone throwing shade at Wemby in the media? You see anyone take cheap shots at him during games? Nuff said.
I’m convinced none of yall have ever seen a hard screen put up in the nba if you think that was THAT bad. It wasn’t good sportsmanship, but blowing this up just makes the wnba look soft. Go watch any hard screen in the nba and you see far worse.
If this play would have happened in the NBA it would have been a flagrant imagine Draymond Green hitting a player like that before the ball was inbounded
@@sharonsangster8119 go watch Adams flatline a player and get back to me. WNBA being soft isn’t getting more views. Same group that says they can play with men, but a slight shoulder check is national news because it’s too rough.
Carter will have to get used to this in that league, she will deal with racism often, and that is exactly what she is dealing with. Not to mention she is straight and brought millions to a sport that next to nobody even watched. As far as her teammates, they terrible too. No way I would let any teammate of mine take hits and not give something back. That league was broke for a reason

You must really think that is a clever comment. You’re pasting it in every Caitlin Clark video I’ve seen!

And you were not watching games 4 yrs ago. Stfu
I respect CC more and more.
"We're just super competitive"...
So would a punch in the head mean you're just super-dooper competitive?
Nice that you all are yucking it up. Carter basically assaulted Clark. The ball wasn’t even in bounds. It was a total hack move. Carter has already been cut from 2 teams for bad behavior. On the Atlanta team, she threatened to beat up her own teammate. Players shouldn’t have to deal with animalistic behavior like that. Intentional fouls are NOT okay and should NOT just be the way it goes. Accidental fouls while playing are okay. And the fact that some of those women are brawny is okay. But clocking someone from behind while the ball isn’t even in play is assault. Period. Carter should be cut for the third time NOW. And Thomas should be out of the league too for throwing Angel Reece to the ground. She could have gotten a serious brain injury.
I love how Michael Strahan corrected Robin who made a remark about it being a "physical game." What a poor excuse. Robin should know better, especially at her big age. If these players want to fight, they should step into a boxing ring. Better yet, a UFC octagon.
That was a racist assault. She should be charged with a hate crime. That attack wasn't even during game play.
Imagine if it was the other way around. Clark would have been accused of being a kkk member.

Proud of Clark💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Caitlyn keep pushing through the hate.... You're doing great ❤️💯💯💯💯
Please. Don't insult everyone with the nonsense of "rookies have to expect treatment like Carter's mugging of Clark." Rookies should not "have" to expect being mistreated just to provide an excuse for veteran players to vent their anger over being ignored, unappreciated and underpaid in prior years. And when veteran players offer this juvenile and insulting explanation, it goes nowhere with the fans who are thinking "Don't go pissing on my back and try telling me its raining."
I’ve seen several announcers say this. This is no welcome to the league moment it’s a dirty play. To suggest rookies have to ensure cheap dangerous shots is insanity. I say it again the wnba should have responded quickly to this. They are not ready for prime time.
Fouling a rookie hard when having the name “Cheneddy” is insane lmao.
It’s two things… jealousy and fragile egos
Caitlin Clark is CLASS! Carter AND Reese are 100% TRASH!
Another racist comment... You represent the white race... Total racist at heart.. Shame on you!
Thrash know thrash
The jealousy is real
The violence of this demographic is always on display daily.
Lots of domestic abuse in the league
The WNBA should have taken action weeks ago to address deliberate illegal fouls against Caillin! Further, Caitlin's teammates need to step-up against deliberate physical assaults towards Caitlin on the court! Any player that assaulted an NBA star player would not go without immediate retribution from his teammate! Come on Fever protect Caitlin and kick ass! And, Fever's head coach needs to GO!
Why was this player not suspended for a game.
PEOPLE WERE THERE TO WATCH CC, AND THATS IT!
If Clark gets injured, WNBA will be the big loser
Hey, at least everyone is talking about women's basketball. Who gives a damn if Caitlin gets hurt. That is basically what these fools are saying, except for Micheal Strahan. It was the black MAN that had to point out to the WOMEN that this was wrong. Imagine that. GIRL POWER.
Catlin Clark is the Jackie Robinson of the WNBA. In a few years we will see every team honor her by wearing her jersey number in a game.
That was an assault. Carter should be suspended & fined at the least. She is a thug.
Should show Angel Reese reaction
Should also show the lead up to what triggered Chennedy's reaction!
@@nicholasmallard2926trash talk? Or when their arms got locked together?
Angel is a fraud, another ghetto thugs hateful and jealous of CC
Reese downplayed that assault because the aggressor is black
@@nicholasmallard2926 - Ive seen the trash talk and overly physical games that deserve fouls. That is what I saw back & fourth between the two ... But you are saying, THAT justifies coming up from behind someone on the court and pushing them down, and the ball isn't even in play? I think all players should be able to feel safe on the court when the clock isn't running that someone isn't going to come up from behind them and aggressively push them down ... This would happen every night in the WNBA and NBA if that was allowed due to trash talk and overly physical competitive play ... I guess I dont get your point as I dont see those things being equitable.
Whether this is done in the NBA or WNBA, it is not acceptable. Chennedy purposely committed a flagrant foul on CC and A Reese was also given a cheap shot by Thompson. Both instances were wrong. Both players could've been hurt or career ending injuries.
I also see the fragrance is more obvious towards CC. There's a lot of jealousy towards her for obvious reasons. CC is a stand up pro athlete and is handling the bs well based off her post game interviews and how she answers the questions. Any player that commits a flagrant foul should given a one game suspension and a fine (doesn't matter who the athlete is). It's just very unsportsmanlike in general.
Carter has already been expelled from wnba China leagues! She likes to punch her teammates. But that’s not a problem for her Coach Witherspoon who didn’t even bench her after the shoulder punch.
Good point. Carter is just trash. Acts like trash. Talks like trash.
Where were Caitlin's teammates during all of this? I didn't exactly see anyone holding anyone back. Real tight group there!
I think it would be appropriate if Carter was concerned about the image her action makes for the WNBA and the Chicago Sky. Chennedy Carter is a great player, but she might want to rethink her sportsmanship.
A garbage cheap shot, from a garbage player. 4th overall pick, fired from her 1st team for " threatening teammates", picked up by LA, Dropped mei season for " conduct detrimental to the team. Spent a year playing Europe, picked up this year by Chicago, and assaults a player 7 games into the season? Garbage
If the refs aren't making correct calls, it's affecting the final score.
It was a blind-sided hit. On an inbound pass, from the baseline. Normally, you don't see that, by the other team. There was a lot of space to rule the flagrant foul. In Hockey, that's a charging call.
I'm surprised that Carter didn't ever experience trash talking, before.
It happens in games. Carter did the same.
It looked like Caitlin turned around to talk to Carter after Carter said something.
it would have been a huge problem if Caitlin did it. "racism omg" hypocrites
Carter bringing ghetto to the game!
That was not a "veteran sending a message". I am biting my tongue right now...

Ghetto. Kennedy Carter needs to be taken off the team.
NO REASON for that egregious act of violence. Should be suspended and fined. That's crazy.
Yeah and to be honest there are a lot of players not just the veterans that are jealous of this young lady but she deserves all the accolades that she's getting unfortunately she has to deal with all the hatred and the jealousy that comes with it as well but she is handling it like a true champion!!!
But it is an issue Robin. I don’t think she’ll ever recognize how unfairly CC is being treated, she probably is one of the haters
It's not an issue for her because Clark is white....let's see how she acts if the roles are reversed
@@johnnythunder196angel Reece got assaulted too in other game. At least her assaulter got ejected from the game. That’s the minimum that should have happened to Carter…. But Angel cheered when it happened to Caitlin. Angel showed everyone who she really is when she jumped to her feet (off the bench) and clapped after the dirty shot.
So, Robin is just clueless about how low rent the wnba is. If that’s how it has been, it shouldn’t continue to be that way.
I am appalled at Robin’s attitude, it’s right up,there with the other garbage mouths. I’m done watching this horrible league.
"shoulder checking" ? how about battery ?
You can see one has class and was raised by a father and mother! The other! Well 👀
You can’t teach class after the age of 13. Look at the parents to see who to blame.
Carter has to apologize for her embarrassing action … unable to do … be expelled from WNBA … Carter is an embarrassment … WNBA don’t need this kind of players in WNBA …
Felicia should’ve been charged with a hate crime.
This has been going on for years so they openly do it on TV and is caught
💯
She came up from behind and did that...... If there is no suspension, I guess it will keep happening. One cannot even do that in the NFL anymore.
If it wasn't for Caitlyn Clark, no one would watch the boring WNBA.
There is difference between hard foul and cheap shot. I had a dog that would bite when you weren't looking.
You can’t fix stupid. Clark is the best and only great thing to ever happen for the WNBA. So what do the other players do. Knock her down. WTF.
That is a blatant attempt to injure someone
CC's teammates are just at fault for not stepping up to "smash" members of the other team when this sort of thing happens.
Nope. Her teammates were 100% right not to retaliate. They had a game to win. Not technicals to rack up.
Carter and Reese have real racial hatred towards Clark and are jealous and envious.
That wasn’t just a common foul ! Chenneday called her a b**** and blatantly hard shouldered her. She should have been ejected ! She’s been thrown out of teams in the past for her aggression.
Just calling her a b** should be against the rules. In football, it's a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
@3:15 That's called hazing Michael, not a good thing.
Did you hear the girls complaining about being harassed after they assault miss clark?
Anyone trying to argue this is just "competitiveness" and that there isn't jealousy is just gaslighting, considering Carter's dismissive response after the game, and the shade she threw at Caitlin almost immediately after on her social media.
Ugh ... CC fans put a wedge into her rapport building with teammates, players and the league with this insanely childish repetitive "jealousy" conspiracy mantra -- that CC really doesn't want tied to her brand as well, not to mention is actually HURTS her brand. As: 1) You aren't helping her with such statements as it's divisive. 2) You are insulting a mass group of people(s). 3) It's so dumb .... I dont hear men go on these tirades about lame ass "jealousy" conspiracies towards each other, nor obsess on concerns about players race and sexuality. It's so unfair how BOTH men and women put women thru the ringer on these things. It's gross ... And honestly, the sexual/racial diversity is something that I find awesome and to be celebrated -- and quite honestly reflects the upcoming generations more. Which I think is cool. The WNBA is terrible at marketing ..... Signed an Iowa native/grad.
@@marceybull "I don't hear men go on these tirades about lame ass jealousy." That's because the men in the NBA ain't catty like that. You see anyone throwing shade at Wemby in the media? You see anyone take cheap shots at him during games? Nuff said.
Man, I really hate to see how basketball fan reacts to hockey if this is how you react to a “hit”
That's like comparing apples to oranges. It's commonplace in hockey and "part of the game."
The most frustrating thing about this is that they keep saying Kennedy like we're not familiar with consonant blends.
This happening to all the rookies, not just to Caitlin Clark. It’s not fair to any of the rookies who have to deal with it.
"That's just physical basketball"
No it's not that's dirty play from a dirty player. If you don't think so go Google Chennedy Carter Atlanta incident
I’m convinced none of yall have ever seen a hard screen put up in the nba if you think that was THAT bad.
It wasn’t good sportsmanship, but blowing this up just makes the wnba look soft. Go watch any hard screen in the nba and you see far worse.
If this play would have happened in the NBA it would have been a flagrant imagine Draymond Green hitting a player like that before the ball was inbounded
@@sharonsangster8119 go watch Adams flatline a player and get back to me. WNBA being soft isn’t getting more views. Same group that says they can play with men, but a slight shoulder check is national news because it’s too rough.
You guys didn’t mention how Reese celebrated the disgusting celebration! Cheap shot and these dumb lady laughing about it!
Teammate's do that... She's a spoiled brat... Who yaps then acts like a victim which reese knows...
Carter will have to get used to this in that league, she will deal with racism often, and that is exactly what she is dealing with. Not to mention she is straight and brought millions to a sport that next to nobody even watched. As far as her teammates, they terrible too. No way I would let any teammate of mine take hits and not give something back. That league was broke for a reason
Is a dirty play .
It’s not even a play. The ball was out of bounds and Caitlin was just standing there and just got slammed into.
it was an assault and "dirty" is an understatement
If that blatant shot happened in the NFL it's ejection time.
Best example of Class vs ghetto
