‘Blatant discrimination’: WNBA’s decision to punish Caitlin Clark sparks outrage - Yahoo Sports
Overview
The WNBA refused to rescind a technical foul assessed to Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark after a fourth-quarter altercation with Phoenix veteran DeWana Bonner, prompting sharp public criticism and accusations of inconsistent discipline. The league then suspended Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas for one game after she struck Clark in the throat, but critics say the differing outcomes have intensified concerns about inconsistent and opaque enforcement. The controversy comes as the league and players' union finalize a new collective bargaining agreement, adding friction to player-league relations.
