Anticipations were high as the number one pick in the WNBA draft was chosen in the first round by the Indiana Fever. Caitlin Clark, the highest scoring basketball player in history, (men’s and women’s) as expected finds herself entering the Octogan. However, many opponents have not taken to the fanfare surrounding Ms. Clark. The Phenom found herself the object of flagrant sucker punches. Intentional brute force fouls became rampant.

Clark has stepped into the “HOOD“, where physical beatings are commonplace. There is no other way for them to express themselves but by being aggressive which makes them feared on the court. But she was not dismayed, she had aggressive style too; not scared of those who can’t play the game by the rules. The only way to stop these animals, who continue to bump, punch and slug, is to automatically expel those who commit flagrant violations. This will stop the savageness which has been employed by her opponents.

“I think everybody is physical with me. They get away with things that probably other people don’t get away with,” Clark said on May 28 after the Fever dropped a game to the Los Angeles Sparks.

Clark, through it all has answered her adversaries from the three point line, deft passing and blocked shots, Clark is now being reckoned with on the court. Her presence has upped the attendance by up to five fold in games she plays. Good for all women, not just White women.
