Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark and her enablers must take the rest of us for idiots.
The fouls they claim occurred? The “contusion” she says she suffered? The technicals that aren’t deserved? Clark doesn’t suddenly become invisible when she’s involved in a physical play, so we can see what actually happened.
Which is that Clark is flopping. And her histrionics while doing so are putting other people in danger.
Now, before you start howling and going on about the eyeballs Clark has brought to the WNBA and women’s basketball, I am not a Clark hater. She can be an electrifying player — her player of the week honor is richly deserved after she went off for a combined 75 points in her last three games — and she’s been the gateway drug to women’s sports fandom for millions of people.
That, however, does not entitle her to a free pass.
