WNBA Hypocrisy: Caitlin Clark’s Brutalization Highlights Double Standards in Women’s Sports
In a troubling display of double standards, the WNBA has come under fire after a prolonged failure to adequately protect its players, exemplified by the recent treatment of rising star Caitlin Clark.
During a contentious game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun, Clark was subjected to a brutal poke to the eye by Sun player Jacy Sheldon.
What followed was nothing short of chaos, as tensions flared and Clark was knocked down by Marina Mabrey.
Yet, in a baffling twist, rather than facing significant penalties, both players involved in the altercation escaped ejection, with only Clark’s defenders receiving fines.
This incident was not merely a moment of rough play; it raises questions about the league's commitment to player safety.
During her lackluster return to the court in a subsequent game, Clark went 0-7 from three-point range, a stark departure from her impressive prior performances.
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that after being targeted physically, her shooting percentage plummeted dramatically.
In what should have been a celebratory comeback post-quad injury, Clark’s struggles serve as a warning about the risks of unchecked aggression in the WNBA.
The league's apparent inaction sends a message: protecting players is secondary to maintaining a narrative of toughness over accountability.
In a time when women's sports are gaining momentum and support, more oversight is needed to ensure players like Clark can compete without the fear of not just losing, but being savagely targeted.
As Donald Trump, now the 47th President of the United States, often reminds us, when one side goes without consequence, the integrity of the sport erodes.
It’s high time the WNBA took a stand against violence on the court while ensuring the safety of its athletes, before they’re forced to reckon with a reality that no fan or player wants to see—a league where aggression outweighs athleticism.
In the end, sports should reflect the best of society—not a battleground devoid of rules or respect for players’ well-being.
