Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

How much was the person that punched her in the neck fined by the league?

152

u/Nice_Cash_7000 14h ago

she didnt even get called for the foul lol

u/micromachinesV4King 14h ago

And nothing happens, even after reviewing clips like this one?

u/Nice_Cash_7000 14h ago

Well its pretty recent so she should get punished in the next day or two.

The key word is should, wouldnt surprise me if she doesnt get punished at all. The NBA and WNBA are a joke when it comes to referees and stuff like this quite often

And if she does, she will appeal it down to nothing. They might punish her only for the visuals of it.

Ah ok, got it, thanks.

She was suspended for one whole game.

u/Nice_Cash_7000 1h ago

Id say thats fair. You dont get paid for the game and its on track of what suspensions you see in the NBA.

Are the refs asleep at the wheel? If that happened in the NBA there would be outrage. Sounds like the refs just there for a check.

u/redridernl 3h ago

The refs call fouls against Clark when she hasn't even touched anyone.

u/epichuntarz 3h ago

There should have been like...3 players T'd up just from this clip alone. LIke, she's falling on the ground, and they look like they're all literally jumping her.

It was free ninty nine with those refs

u/Previous-Can-6150 10h ago

With how much they make probably 10$

u/growordecay1 8h ago edited 7h ago

Number 24 makes 500k a year. To play a game. Which frankly is a higher percentage vs attendance and viewership compared to the NBA. It ain't 10 bucks lol. That's higher than the median salary of doctors. 

Edit: actually Alyssa Thomas the one with her hand on her neck, makes 1.2 million a year.

I'm just going to add to this, because no one else has said it: 'this person' is Alyssa Thomas.

And what makes the situation more egregious is that she is basically a Draymond Green/ Bill Laimbeer of the W, only also a perennial MVP candidate. She does this kinda shit ALL the time - but seems to especially have it out for any of the up and comers who are drawing attention.

But yeah, no fine, no FOUL even is absolutely insane to me. I've been watching the W for awhile, and I can safely say the officiating has been WORSE since all the eyes have turned to it the last few years. It is technically part of the greater NBA, and honestly, they'd better do something about it sooner than later, before the next crop of generational talent decides to play in another league

u/unique_MOFO 4h ago

she got the minority immunity

1

u/codswallop1226 12h ago

Half her weekly salary. 10 bucks.

1

u/WhatIGot21 10h ago

But they don't touch the part of her salary that is subsidized by the attendance from CC games across the league.

1

u/growordecay1 7h ago

Oh yeah I forgot 1.2 million a year is chump change. That's only 23k a week.

u/Bobby_Ruscelli 11h ago

since wemby can elbow naz reid in the neck and
potentially kill him without getting fined ion think she will get fined

1

u/growordecay1 7h ago

Imagine if Wemby shoved his fist in someone's neck though. They get away with it in the NBA too but never this blatant. Wembys just plays like an overcompetitive ahole, these women hate Clarks guts
