Caitlin Clark Targeted Again: Is the WNBA Turning a Blind Eye?
In a moment shaking the foundation of the WNBA, reigning MVP A’ja Wilson delivered a fierce hit to rising star Caitlin Clark — and fans are calling foul, loud and clear.
“That Was NOT a Basketball Play”
During a heated third quarter, Wilson body-checked Clark to the floor — no ball in sight. The referees ignored it. The broadcast stalled. Social media exploded.
“Wilson didn’t even go for the ball. Just straight-up tried to take Caitlin out,” tweeted ex-NBA star Chandler Parsons.
Not the First Time — And Fans Remember
Weeks earlier, Wilson had hip-checked Clark in another controversial moment. Now, many feel the league is tolerating targeted aggression toward its breakout rookie.
“If this were LeBron or Curry, heads would roll,” raged one analyst.
Hashtags like #ProtectCaitlin and #SuspendWilson surged as over 100,000 fans signed a petition demanding action.
Culture War Inside the WNBA?
Clark’s fame, flash, and popularity symbolize a new WNBA era. Some veterans, insiders suggest, resent her rapid rise.
“A bill can be big or beautiful — but not both,” Musk once said. The same tension brews here.
The League’s Deafening Silence
As the WNBA remains quiet, fans fear a dangerous double standard — where league legends are untouchable and rising stars unprotected.
The question now: Will the WNBA act — or allow sabotage to become strategy?
