The Worst League in Sports Continues to Cook Its Golden Goose – Caitlin Clark Injured in WNBA Preseason Game

by

The worst league in sports continues to cook its golden goose.  

Caitlin Clark was injured last night in a preseason WNBA game after another nasty foul.  The WNBA cannot protect its players, and it continues to allow nasty fouls against the greatest gift the league ever had.

The worst league in sports history proved why no one watched their games before Caitlin Clark arrived and why they will never make a profit (they are funded by the NBA).

Last year, we reported when it was announced that Clark was out for the season after a series of abusive fouls by women in the league.

They had their golden goose, and they ran it over.  To date, rather than provide officiating that was fair and protected Clark, the league allowed women in the league to pull, push, hit, poke, hammer, and totally abuse Clark.  The beatings and abuse took their toll.  No one could have put up with what Clark endured.

Watching Clark’s games in the WNBA was not fun.  Fans found themselves yelling at the refs and the league throughout her games.  Clark was hammered and no foul.  Clark complained and she received a technical foul.  The WNBA is a bad joke.

Clark received the ESPY award for WNBA Player of the Year but it didn’t matter.

This award was way too late.

The WNBA went on to physically break Caitlin Clark.  It appeared that they wanted to destroy their golden goose, Caitlin Clark, and they did. 

But no matter what they did, they couldn’t stop her.  Here is Clark scoring 9 points in less than a minute in a game last year.

Clark, the greatest scorer and point producer when adding in points off of assists, was the best women’s basketball player in NCAA history.  She crushed NCAA scoring records, and she brought a fan base bigger than any women’s basketball player in US history with her to the WNBA two years ago.  Clark went on to break the WNBA’s single-season assist record and was one shy of tying the season 3-point record.

The chart below shows how Clark was in a league of her own when adding points scored and points off assists together during her senior year at Iowa.

Unfortunately, the WNBA has been horrible to her since her arrival, constantly trying to downplay her greatness and compare girls without her talent or records to her.

In this series in a game last year, Clark was poked in the eye by the opposing player after grabbing and pulling Clark all game long.  Then the opposing player assaulted her and pushed her.  Clark tried to get away but another opponent punched Clark in the back and then another player crashed Clark to the floor.  None of Clark’s teammates stood up for her when this happened.

The result of this exchange was a foul on the girl who slammed Clark on the floor, and a technical foul on Clark!

The greatest shooter in the history of the game was pummeled by opposing players, game, after game, after game.

Clark was injured and missed the All-Star game.  Clark had never missed a game since high school until last year in the WNBA.

Clark has already dealt with multiple injuries this season, missing 10 games in total — nine in the regular season and then the Commissioner’s Cup championship. She missed five games with a left quad strain and later sat out five more after injuring her left groin. This is uncharted territory for Clark, who did not miss any playing time for injury reasons at Iowa or during her WNBA rookie year.

While Clark was out, the WNBA lost half its audience.

WNBA Panics as Attendance Collapses with Caitlin Clark Injury

Two years ago, the WNBA members on the Olympic Committee and the nasty coach of the WNBA’s Minnesota team (Cheryl Reeve), prevented Clark, the best player in the country, from being on the Olympic team.  It was the worst decision in Olympic history in decades.  Clark could have brought so many more viewers to the game.  But they kept her off the team.

This spring, Clark was named the MVP representing the US in a tourney in Puerto Rico.  ESPN responded this week by naming her the 10th-best player in the league.  You can’t make this up.

IT’S OFFICIAL: The WNBA Is the Worst League in Sports – The League Broiled Their Golden Goose Caitlin Clark

Clark is a fighter.  She handles all the challenges with grace.  But her games to date became too difficult to watch because of the horrible players, refs, coaches, and league.

Players pummeled the WNBA’s golden goose and they were rarely called for a foul.  Clark touches someone and immediately gets called for a foul.

This is all on the worst league in world history.  This happens all the time. It’s gotten to the point where basketball fans and Caitlin Clark fans have had enough. It became too much to watch. It was like watching a boxer get pummeled with one hand tied behind his back.

The abuse happened every game.

The league’s front office, the coaches, the refs, the other players, and her own teammates have been heartless, jealous, and abusive to Clark, who was the league’s savior.

In last night’s preseason game, a defender was allowed to get in Clark’s space after shooting a 3-point shot and committed a flagrant foul.  You have to allow athletes to land after shooting a shot, and the player instead invaded that space, and Clark landed on her foot and hurt her ankle.

After playing less than a half of basketball, Clark led the game in scoring with 21 points.

The WNBA is the worst league in history.  Its golden goose is getting fried again.
