It’s widely acknowledged that Caitlin Clark’s WNBA opponents may not be actively supporting her success. However, the level of physicality she’s encountering in her early career appears to be crossing a line.
She’s frequently not receiving the fouls that many argue she deserves, particularly on blatant infractions.
This issue came to a head during Thursday’s matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Seattle Storm, where both Clark and Victoria Vivians were hit with double technicals for a minor scuffle—a decision that drew criticism for its fairness.
Fans have also highlighted numerous occasions where Clark was clearly fouled while driving to the basket, yet no call was made. This pattern of officiating frustration reached a tipping point when Coach Christie Sides voiced her exasperation, resulting in a technical foul.
