right now did you watch what happened in the game between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun man there was a play that left everyone's Jaws on the floor and had them concerned about the wnba's future once again starring Caitlyn Clark opponents are really going too far in their games against Caitlyn Clark it all happened when Caitlyn Clark was brought down by Alysa Thomas in a play that let's be honest appeared to use a little more power than required Caitlyn Clark gets five early points here and Thomas runs over her it isn't the first time we've seen anything like this this season particularly with Caitlyn five quick points here for Caitlyn Clark and Thomas just runs over clark responded to by Marina Ma and here is Clark wide open knocks down a triple loock by danana Bonner want to play WoW last woman back as Carrington spins and feeds for Thomas people this is serious we're talking about a player who is transforming the WNBA attracting large audiences and elevating the game to new heights what if she gets hurt during a play like that have you considered the impact this might have on the league let's focus on that play what precisely happened between Alyssa Thomas and Caitlyn Clark the scenario moves quickly Clark is going around the court attempting to avoid her Defender when Thomas steps in to lay a screen so far everything seems normal right but look again there's something additional in that interaction Thomas doesn't only obstruct Clark's way she appears to provide a little more shove Clark falls to the floor and it's no surprise the Collision was severe enough to make the rookie angry prompting her to protest to the officials now let us be honest the game includes screens as well as physical interaction but what we're witnessing here goes beyond ordinary play don't you think there appears to be an aim to terrorize the youngster to show her who is the ruler in the league and this isn't an isolated situation similar plays against Clark have occurred throughout the season it's like if there is a bullseye on her back you know they seem to have been targeting Clark more and more this already happened at the start of the season but now that she is tearing up the league game after game players seems to take care of her in harsher Watts what's the most troubling part the League's reaction or more rather lack thereof the WNBA appears to be going about its business as normal but it isn't we're discussing the athlete who is transforming women's basketball an injury caused by one of these plays would be devastating to the entire league not just the fever Clark is more than simply a player she has become the wnba's face for a new generation of fans and the WNBA is just brushing it off shouldn't the other players be warned more right now coaches can just tell their teams to focus on Clark getting her out of the game in any way possible the WNBA doesn't seem to care how how but why is this still happening what's the truth behind these more intense plays versus Clark let's get real here people what we're witnessing is more than simply rough play there appears to be some Envy in these situations think about this Caitlyn entered the WNBA and completely changed the game she is not only playing at an unbelievable level but she is also attracting unprecedented attention to the league the Arenas are full television ratings are skyrocketing and everyone is talking about the WNBA how do you believe some of the veterans are feeling many of them fought for years if not decades for recognition higher pay and more exposure suddenly this newbie steps in and makes everything look simple I am not defending it far from it but you can understand the rage Clark is forcing everyone to up their game to avoid falling behind veterans who were previously comfortable must practice harder play better and redefine themselves it's an old story when Brilliance isn't enough you resort to brute power and this seems to be printed into the opponent's Minds these tougher plays appear to be an attempt to scare Clark to demonstrate that the WNBA isn't easy but let's be honest this is a bad idea instead of elevating their game to level Clark some players are employing techniques that might jeopardize the very League they helped create and this begs the question is Clark's resistance simply Envy or is there anything else going on perhaps a concern that she is altering the league too quickly is it simply the Old Guard fighting to defend their Turf what do you guys think are the veterans correct to feel threatened or should they welcome the change that Clark is bringing while you think about that let's speak about something that's driving me crazy the wnba's lack of response seriously guys the league appears to be sleeping at the wheel since the start of the Season we've seen more aggressive plays particularly against Caitlyn how has the WNBA reacted practically nothing to be clear I am not seeking to transform basketball into a game full of interruptions physical play is an element of it and always has been however there is a border between hard play and risky play and it is regularly crossed the problem is that the WNBA appears to regard these plays as part of the game which they are not when you have plays that are plainly aimed at a certain player it goes beyond regular competitiveness and the worst part the league is taking a significant risk here consider the possibility that Caitlyn will get significant injuries during one of these plays do you have any clue how much harm this would cause it is not an exaggeration to say that the WNBA would lose a significant portion of its momentum this season the question is why isn't the league acting do they not understand the gravity of the problem or are they fearful of upsetting the established stars look I understand that it is a touchy position the league does not want to alienate its veterans who have helped build the league up to this point however they cannot afford to put their new stars health and career at danger what the league needs is balance clearer regulations regarding what is permitted in terms of physical contact tougher penalties for for hazardous actions and most importantly a clear message that player safety is the first concern because at the end of the day it's more than simply safeguarding Caitlyn or other rookies it's also about preserving the League's future it is important ensuring that the WNBA continues to expand and Recruit new players all of this leads to Caitlyn Clark's huge effect on the league let's be honest she's not just doing well she's redefining what it means to be a star in this league let us look at the facts since since Clark joined the wnba's popularity has skyrocketed television ratings through the ceiling ticket sales the Indiana Fever has sold out everywhere they perform what about social media engagement do not even get me started but it's not only that Clark is raising the level of play in ways we haven't seen in years she is not only leading the league in assists which is unprecedented for a rookie but she is also smashing threo shooting records and the fever are winning critical games what's the weirdest thing this is all happening throughout her first season imagine what it will be like in 2 or 3 years Clark is transforming not only the game on the court but also the public view of women's basketball she's gaining a new audience and motivating a new generation of athletes however with all of this effect comes a great deal of responsibility for Clark the other players and most importantly for the league because there is no going back the WNBA must rise to this occasion Caitlyn has shown us a peak of the future she's demonstrated what's possible when tremendous Talent meets a stage Prime to shine but she has also revealed the flaws in the present system the issue is what is the WNBA prepared to do to make this Vision a reality the League's future is in our hands the hands of fans who watch games and speak about it on social media the hands of players who give their all on the court and of course the hands of the executives who make critical choices what do you believe the WNBA should do to safeguard its talents while still securing the League's future do you believe that the situation is becoming critical or do you think I'm exaggerating let me know your thoughts in the comments down below
