What Chennedy Carter's hard foul on Caitlin Clark says about the WNBA

Caitlin Clark's hard foul on Chennedy Carter was retroactively ruled a Flagrant 1 by the WNBA.

The foul against Clark was the latest and most striking in what appears to be a trend of physical play against Clark .

Colin Cowherd : Clark doesn't need fans, media to protect her.

Nick Wright : "This is an overwhelmingly black league whose stars have always been a little disproportionally white".

"This is just rookie hazing," Chris Broussard said of Caitlin Clark's treatment.

Joy Taylor said the nature of Carter 's foul, her refusal to answer questions about it after the game, and her negative comments about Clark on social media afterward constituted an isolated incident, not a reflection on the WNBA and its treatment of Clark as a whole.

LeSean McCoy : The WNBA needs to protect Clark like the NBA protected Michael Jordan .

Emmanuel Acho : Don't be envious of Caitlin Clark , let her take the brunt of the blows as the pacemaker.

Tim Hardaway Sr .: Clark 's teammates need to step up to defend her.

Acho says players who are jealous of Clark need to let Clark face the spotlight herself.
