Summary
Caitlin Clark, a guard for the Indiana Fever, was punched in the throat by Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury during a game, but no foul was called. Clark’s coach, Stephanie White, criticized the referees for their treatment of Clark, saying it’s a pattern of not receiving the same officiating as her peers. The incident occurred on the same day the WNBA faced backlash for not including Clark in a 30th anniversary graphic.
Our Reading
The controversy arrives with a familiar flavor.
Caitlin Clark gets punched in the throat, and the referees shrug. Her coach calls out the inconsistency in officiating, and the WNBA faces heat for snubbing Clark on a 30th anniversary graphic. It’s just another day in the WNBA, where star players are treated like everyone else, and anniversary graphics are apparently optional.
Caitlin Clark’s throat is just a casualty of the game, and her exclusion from the graphic is just a minor oversight. No big deal.
