Caitlin Clark may be one of the most notable names in the WNBA, but she’s far from receiving favoritism in her rookie season. A recent video of Clark getting hacked went viral after she drove into the paint and hit the deck. 

This was a very controversial non-call that had many fans calling out league officials.

Clark has been trying to get comfortable in the professional game, but adjustments of physicality like this show why it’s going to take time for her to take a step forward.

The WNBA has pushed buttons that Clark has never seen.

Aside from being more physical, it’s a faster game, and there are talented players all over the court, rather than facing one star in college.

WNBA fans feel for Clark after the hard hit. They sound off on the transition to the league for Clark, sharing their true thoughts on the play. It was deemed inexcusable and a massive issue by fans across social media.

“This non-call brought to you by Spirit Airlines…we’ll be here for you”.

“I have no idea what constitutes a foul in this league”.

@wnba get a handle on this before there’s a serious injury. Fouls, call them”.

“WNBA has been a PR mess”.
