Caitlin Clark has had a bit of a rough start to her WNBA career, much to the chagrin of Seattle Seahawks tight end
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever, has had a target on her back to many in the league, presumably due to the immense hype she entered the league with. This came to a head on Saturday when Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter took a cheap shot at Clark away from the play, sparking intense reactions on social media.
Okay, this IS HATING on Caitlin Clark. Face guarding, extremely aggressive play and the occasional hard foul can be describe as competitiveness. Going out of your way to call her out of her name and body check her to the floor without the ball is HATING."I would love to see the Indiana Fever as a team get an 'eye for an eye' mentality. It seems that’s the only way they are gunna be able to protect Caitlin.
Many have suggested the Fever take this very approach, and it's easy to see why. Be it football, hockey, basketball,, teammates are expected to take a stand when one of their own is the victim of a "dirty play," especially if that player is a superstar. Numerous players across sports have experienced this exact scenario, and their teams made it a priority to protect them.
With Clark still at the forefront of the WNBA, the Fever would probably be wise to listen to Fant and others parroting his advice.
