Caitlin Clark fans are understandably outraged by a "dirty" move against her during Wednesday night's Indiana Fever vs. Phoenix Mercury game.
Mercury veteran forward Alyssa Thomas appeared to have some extra hits for Clark during a skirmish on the ground in the first half of Wednesday night's game. Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
As Clark was down on the ground, scrambling for the ball, Thomas appeared to make contact with her neck. Then, there was some contact with the shoes.
"Check the cheap shot from Bully dirty player, Alyssa Thomas on Caitlin Clark’s neck and knee to her groin area where she was hurt last year. No CALL," one fan wrote.
There was no foul called on the play. Perhaps the WNBA's league office will look into it and ultimately issue some kind of discipline.
Caitlin Clark fans are not happy.
Clark's fans furious with Alyssa Thomas's behavior
Clark fans are not happy.
"Alyssa Thomas is the dirtiest player in the WNBA. She should be in the UFC, not the WNBA," one fan wrote.
"Very disappointed in the refs for not calling that intentional attempt to maim," one fan added.
"Drove her knee into Caitlin’s groin on this play, too. The other broadcast angle showed it," one fan added.
"She also jammed her knee into her groin," one fan added.
"She is such a dirty player," one fan added.
"Clark can’t quit, of course, until she has big money, but I sure wish she would and this league would slide back into irrelevance," another fan added.
It's easy to see why Caitlin Clark will consistently sound off on the WNBA's referees when plays like that go uncalled. Hopefully, the league will take notice and do something about it moving forward.
