Caitlin Clark Shares on Events This Past Week Since Her Injury - Joe Hoft
Caitlin Clark spoke for the first time since being injured and assaulted in her last game.
Last week, Clark was beaten by an opponent who kneed her in the groin, then shoved her fist on Clark’s throat and tried to stomp on her. The refs saw it and called no foul. The woman who did it – Alyssa Thomas – played the victim after she and her wife – DeWanna Bonner – attacked Clark.

Wait for the zoom. A seemingly premeditated attack by the happy couple. @WNBA is disgusting.
Apparently THIS was only worth a 1 game suspension for Alyssa Thomas 🤡 https://t.co/2e1rcxyOHE pic.twitter.com/xmQDyndFZl

Former NBA basketball announcer Dick Vitale and a former NBA team doctor commented on the constant attacks on Caitlin Clark.
As a former NBA team physician (76ers) for many years, who has sat through many many games up close, I can say without hesitation that WNBA players and officials have somehow been signaled and cleared to neutralize or even harm (for reasons I cannot fully understand) Caitlin…

After the event last week, Clark’s coach stood up for the perpetrator and ignored Clark being attacked.

How can she see this and provide an answer like she did.
👀 INSANE — Stephanie White really saw this, and thought ‘How can I make Alyssa Thomas the victim here’ 🤯
This is the exact type of thinking that has justified Caitlin Clark getting hate from media and players in the WNBA.

The WNBA commissioner backed the abuser as well. No word about Clark being assaulted.

The corrupt media ignored the beatings Clark receives (she was out for half the season last year after being beaten so much). Outlets like ESPN give Clark terrible press despite her being the best player in the league.
ADVERTISEMENTESPN published write-ups today on WNBA starters that included their stats.
Every single one was positive EXCEPT Caitlin Clark’s.
It’s truly disgusting how hateful and nasty they treat this girl. Such trash.@espnW @espn pic.twitter.com/cAc2FY8SyO

Clark mentioned today that she saw some of the news. She said the league and the refs need to be better.
She reminded the press that she is only 24 and shared that she will not be able to play her next game.
Overall, Clark did another excellent interview, showing another reason why she is so liked. It’s not just her epic basketball playing; it’s who she is.
Caitlin Clark on incident with Alyssa Thomas:
“I did think it was a flagrant foul. Our reffing just needs to be better … The league has to do better protecting our players.”
“The harassment, the hate — none of that is ok.”
