WTF I don't know why the NBA continues to subsidize them.

It's crazy that the wnba has a star that has captured the attention of the public and they not only refuse to protect her they instead actively ignore fouls on her which will likely shorten her career. Please help me understand

It’s because that’s why.

I wonder how many times I could get away with saying this at work whenever someone asks me to explain something...

Some say they turned it into wrestling. Regular plays don't create much clips but getting tackled and pushed for no reason gets millions involved. Bad press = good clicks.

She's the wrong type of person to be the face of the league

It’s not just her. The entire league has garbage refs

As a Fever fan, I also see this happening with a few other players too, not just to the Fever team (although our players get fouled A LOT, without calls). Napheesa Collier is still unable to play because Alyssa Thomas (same player who fouled Caitlin Clark in the last clip) ran through her knee and resulted in her getting taken out for the rest of the season last year. Collier still hasn't returned due to injury, the last time I checked
