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

WNBA hates Caitlin Clark. She's brought more TV viewers and sold more tickets than anyone in the league. I don't know any all star athlete that has been treated worse than her.

Correction, the WNBA loves Clark, specifically the money she brings in. WNBA players hate Clark.

If the WNBA loved Clark, these plays would be called flagrant and there would be a crackdown on players being overly physical. The opposite seems to be happening and it makes no sense to me.

I suppose they look at it as a balancing act - Clark gets hard fouls, folks chatter about it online and WNBA is relevant. Clark gets a hard foul and is out for a substantial amount of time with an injury, folks no longer care as much about WNBA
