Wednesday evening, when Washington Mystics 6-foot-5, 235-pound core Stefanie Dolson whacked the hell out of her left shoulder, WNBA Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was hit hard once more.

Clark had become spotted screaming at the officials right away following the foul play. If Dolson consciously fouled Clark or not, if that’s what other films show, the refs apparently missed it.
I’d like to see the strike from another perspective but, from the picture we do had, it looks like Dolson , was going for Clark’s finger instead of the game. Some claim that Dolson struck Clark in the head, but I did n’t notice anything like that.
Notice and judge for yourself.
@dpinsen ‘ Chief’ from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, taking it out on Clark
Fury as Caitlin Clark is brutally slashed by her 6’5″, 235-pound competition as concerns grow about the health of the WNBA superstar as officials failed to recognize the picture as a “blatant foul” twitter.com/LgnDvnCv95— DosXXMachina ( @DuosEquis ) June 20, 2024
That video was provided by X person DosXXMachina, and if I’m being honest, that might be the best screen name in history. And when he referred to Dolson as” Chief” from” One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Next”, I laughed like I was in middle class afterwards.  ,

Style? No. Fair? Oh, yes— DosXX nailed the allusion.

It seems like just a couple of weeks ago]Steve,  , it was just a couple of days ago , —Editor] I asked if the Indiana Fever were yet a staff, judging by how Clark’s teammates failed to march to her defence after an even more severe bad by the Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter. However, judging from the improved performance of the Fever since, it appears as though a true group may be joining forces.
That’s great, but it might not be enough to stop what the WNBA clearly appears to be: cruel straight, white bias.
Last month, when Clark’s on- judge problems were becoming too obvious to ignore, PJ Media’s personal Matt Margolis reported that she was being targeted for being” right, light, and not from the inside city” in a cliquish league where such things make someone a unique minority.
Minnesota Lynx point guard Candice Wiggins described playing in the WNBA as” toxic,” and that was the reason she abruptly retired in 2017. Being vocal in my identity as a straight woman and heterosexual was important, Wiggins told the San Diego Union- Tribune at the time. ” I would say that there are 98 percent of gay women in the WNBA.” It was a place that was conformist-type. There was a whole different set of rules they ( the other players ) could apply.

Beyond the sporadic egregious foul, that toxicity manifests itself in all kinds of ways, both on and off the court.  ,
Why does Caitlin Clark average 5.5 % turnover per game? “my old X acquaintance Ted Frank asked on Wednesday”. Does she make error-prone passes, or is she just the victim of shoddy hand-counting and being forced to cough up the ball?
That’s a fair question. And what makes it fair is Clark’s unquestionably unfair treatment both on and off the court.
