Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who is frequently assaulted and discriminated against by players and referees, picked up her eighth technical foul of the season in the third quarter of the Fever’s win against the Chicago Sky on Saturday.
The foul against Clark, as seen on video below, stemmed from her being pushed out of bounds and accidentally making light contact with a referee who took the opportunity to carry out a league-wide vendetta against Clark. The call was later overturned after social media and the sports world erupted.
With the eighth foul came an automatic one-game suspension from the Fever’s Tuesday game against the New York Liberty.
The ridiculous call against Clark came after Sophie Cunningham, another controversial Fever star player, was violently assaulted by the Sky’s DiJonai Carrington while going in for a layup during the first quarter. Carrington was ejected from the game for a flagrant 2 foul, meaning the contact was excessive and unnecessary.
Initially, Carrington received a flagrant 1, but it was upgraded after review.
As Cunningham went up for a layup, Carrington is seen clotheslining Cunningham by swinging her arm around Cunningham’s face and slamming her to the ground.
WATCH:
Carrington likely attacked Cunningham because she is a talented White superstar and outspokenly holds the conservative position of keeping men out of women’s sports.
As if the anti-White player’s motive behind the attack weren’t any more obvious, she later posted on X, following her suspension, “white privilege” and tagged the Indiana Fever, the Gateway Pundit reported.
Later in the game, three-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark picked up the bogus technical foul. So much for White privilege.
During the play, Clark was bodied by Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud, causing her to unintentionally brush up against a referee. But instead of Cloud receiving a foul, the foul was called against Clark, her eighth of the season, for making extra contact with an official.
It was only after the Indiana Fever appealed the call and amid public outrage over the incident that the WNBA rescinded the call.
The official “deemed that Clark intentionally made contact; therefore, a technical foul was assessed,” Crew chief Maj Forsberg said after the game and before the foul was rescinded, ESPN reported.
