WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is unable to protect Caitlin Clark.
A quarter of the WNBA’s revenue is related to Caitlin Clark. This is a part of her impact on the league and basketball in general.
The reality is, the W has eyeballs as high as 3.44 million, team’s moved to 17 bigger arenas, her arrival made chartered flights possible, number 2 in NBA jersey sales, 41 record breaking TV deals surpassing the NBA, average salary up 386%. Caitlin Clark has lifted all boats. pic.twitter.com/m4dQ9snPfJ

Clark puts up stats like this.
One of the craziest Caitlin Clark stats I’ve seen. pic.twitter.com/vKU1jyW35R

But rather than protecting her, the league is doing the opposite.
Last year, opponents bounced Clark around like a beach ball. (Clark ended up getting a technical foul on this series of events – wth – the WNBA refs are horrible).
Imagine not kicking Marina Mabrey out after she assaults the face of the league? Just a common tech? Sick league @WNBA Also shouldn’t have been a tech on Caitlin since that girl got in her face after gouging her eyes. pic.twitter.com/bnqKCt9voO

A couple weeks ago, Clark was beaten by an opponent who kneed her in the groin, then shoved her fist on Clark’s throat and tried to stomp on her. The refs saw it and called no foul. The woman who did it – Alyssa Thomas – played the victim after she and her wife – DeWanna Bonner – attacked Clark.
New angle showed DeWanna Bonner (GF of Alyssa Thomas) driving her knee into the shoulder of Caitlin Clark.
Wait for the zoom. A seemingly premeditated attack by the happy couple. @WNBA is disgusting.
Apparently THIS was only worth a 1 game suspension for Alyssa Thomas

Former NBA basketball announcer Dick Vitale and a former NBA team doctor commented on the constant attacks on Caitlin Clark.
As a former NBA team physician (76ers) for many years, who has sat through many many games up close, I can say without hesitation that WNBA players and officials have somehow been signaled and cleared to neutralize or even harm (for reasons I cannot fully understand) Caitlin…

Clark’s coach is not on her side.
INSANE — Stephanie White really saw this, and thought ‘How can I make Alyssa Thomas the victim here’
This is the exact type of thinking that has justified Caitlin Clark getting hate from media and players in the WNBA.
What is the end-goal for Stephanie White?

The WNBA commissioner backed the abuser as well. No word about Clark being assaulted. How dare anyone complain about a white player in your league getting assaulted by two black married women.

This latest attack led to the US House GOP Study Committee asking for answers from the league. How can the WNBA allow this to happen?
This should concern every WNBA fan… regardless of where you stand on Caitlin Clark.
The issue is no longer a missed foul, a flagrant, or social media arguments.
Members of Congress are now demanding answers from the league itself.
Whether you agree with the letter or… pic.twitter.com/5kVVezqdx4

Here is what ESPN wrote about Thomas last year:
Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas lowered her right shoulder and banged into Napheesa Collier to back the Minnesota Lynx forward down closer to the hoop. One attempt wasn’t quite enough for Thomas to get where she wanted to go, so she did it again.
Collier grabbed one of Thomas’ arms to prevent her from getting a shot up, and as the two got tangled, they stood chest to chest. Thomas — regarded as one of the best trash talkers in the WNBA — gave Collier an earful.
The WNBA is blind and tone deaf. It turns out that the NBA Commissioner had to step in recently and demand that Engelbreecht penalize Thomas for her abuse (Thomas is the reason Collier is injured and not playing this year.)

The WNBA has things upside down in every way. Violence is accepted if Caitlin Clark is on the receiving end. It’s insane.
