Chicago Sky's Diamond DeShields Facing SUSPENSION For Flagrant Foul on Caitlin Clark

what's up family so we got Caitlyn Clark got shoved again after dropping 31 on Angel ree in the Chicago sky on this past Friday or yesterday I should say let's go coming in hot opening the door Caitlyn Clark is dominating the WNBA like no other rookie before but while she's breaking records and elevating the game something troubling is happening on the courts in this latest game against the Chicago sky Clark not only reached her personal WNBA record with an impressive 31 points but was also the target of a dangerous shove during a transition play and it's not the first time this has happened go ahead and subscribe to ain't this like the third time the channel because what we're about to reveal about Caitlyn Clark's treatment in the WNBA will shock you and raise serious questions about the future of the league is Clark's success putting her safety at risk the game between the fever and the Chicago sky should have been just another Showcase of Caitlyn Clark's extraordinary talent and in many ways it was exactly that Clark dominated the court scoring 31 points and dishing out 12 [Music] assists her personal best in the WNBA so far she Metro presents a tale of two wireless customers on man sorry family excuse the app anyway let's go back into it he proved once again why she's back a little bit her personal best in the WNBA so far she proved once again why she's the Undisputed favorite for rookie of the year but behind This brilliant performance a disturbing pattern is emerging late in the game when the fever's victory was already practically guaranteed Clark was the target of an unnecessary and potentially dangerous shove during a transition play this incident wasn't an isolated case let's go back a few days to the game against the Connecticut Sun there we saw a similar situation Clark being pushed on a screenplay twice in such a short time isn't a coincidence at folks it's a pattern what makes this even more alarming is when these shoves are occurring they're not normal game plays there moments when Clark is vulnerable often at yeah there are moments when she's in transition by herself because they want to have this cyclical um consistent constant of just playing dirty high speed the potential for serious injury is real and frightening now let's put these actions in context Caitlyn isn't just another talented rookie she's simply destroying the league with impressive averages in points and assists Clark is doing things that veterans with years of experience struggle to achieve working it around here for the fever good ball movement on this possession Loco shot Loco make for Clark she's playing at a level that forces opposing team teams to completely change their defensive strategies but here's the crucial point is this dominance provoking a negative reaction are opposing teams frustrated with their inability to stop Clark within the rules of the game resorting to more physical and potentially dangerous tactics it's important to note that basketball is a contact sport and physical plays are part of the game however there's a fine line between physical play and dangerous play The shvs Clark is experienc or they need to do some technical files man you start holding them accountable simple as that especially in vulnerable moments like fast breaks cross that line we have to ask ourselves if it were an established veteran experiencing this kind of treatment what would the League's reaction be do the wnba's established Stars face the same level of physical contact that Clark is experiencing let's take a closer look at the impact these dangerous plays can have not just on Caitlyn Clark but on the league as a whole first there's the obvious risk of injury Clark is an incredible athlete but nobody is Invincible a shove at the wrong moment at high speed can result in a serious fall a severe injury the crazy part is the question I got family where was the girl running to they were already slow to get back on defense kayen Clark is already down and if any if anything look at this but nobody is Invincible a shove at the wrong moment at at high speed can result the girl number 14 right here with the yellow shoes on actually had a more more likelihood or better likelihood of getting in front of Caitlyn Clark to stop her because you got to get in front of the the individual that's on offense because your primary goal in defense and basketball is to stay in front she running by the side of her to run her run into her it was doing what how is that effective that's the case you might as well intentionally F right instead of you running into her leaving her prone to be injured because you want to play dirty for whatever reason that wasn't even a logical reason to do what she just did I don't understand when you seeing your teammate obviously getting in front of kayin Clark the best way she could in a serious fall a severe injury would not only harm Clark's promising career but also deprive fans and the league of an extraordinary Talent second there's the psychological aspect how does this affect Clark's game so far she seems unfazed continuing to dominate the courts but how long until she starts to hesitate in fast breaks how long until that subconscious fear I don't think she going to do that bro you know aggression is part of the game it just these referees have to do their job to make sure it stays at clean game as much as possible affects her game third we have to consider the president being set if these tactics against Clark are tolerated what message does that send to the rest of the league are we saying it's acceptable to resort to dangerous plays when you can't stop a talented player last but not least there's the impact on the League's image the league is in a period of unprecedented growth with Clark being one of the main reasons for it Indiana Fever games are selling out media coverage is increasing but what kind of spectacle are we offering if we allow one of our Rising Stars to be the target of potentially harmful plays the WNBA has a unique opportunity here protecting Clark and other play players in similar situations isn't just about safety it's about preserving the bright future the league has ahead it's important exactly because honestly she's the one that's putting food in all those players mouths and adding more value to the league as we all know bringing visibility that has never been brought before to the WNBA important to recognize that not all physical contact is ill intentioned basketball is an intense and fast-paced Sport and sometimes plays that look dangerous are just a result of the speed and intensity of theame game however the pattern we're seeing with Clark raises red flags and most worryingly the league remains silent on this no official statement No announced investigation no public warning to teams this silence is deafening and concerning let's compare this to other professional leagues it's okay cuz the fan the real fans and real supporters eventually going to hold a franchise accountable and if you start seeing your viewers go your viewership go down and individual is walking away and you see that's why the franchise is always at a standstill look how they're treating the very the very person that's bringing more visibility to the franchise instead of enhancing that and um working with it and utilizing that to continue to evolve as a franchise it's like they wanted to it's like they're doing the very things to make the league stay at a standstill as it has been forever how long weird but in the NBA for example dangerous plays often result in suspensions and fines the league doesn't hesitate to protect its Stars why does the WNBA seem to be hesitating maybe it's time for fans to raise their voices y social media is full of videos of these incidents with fans expressing their concern and outrage but so far this hasn't translated into action from the league I also think family and comment down below do you guys agree or disagree with me they have been used to not getting visibility and getting held accountable from fans because they never really had fans like that and now that they do they're getting held accountable so they have to make these changes whether they like it or not or individuals are going to start walking away and not giving their support once again but I think they've been used to being in their old ways of maybe doing players before Caitlyn Clark that have BEC coming that have became Superstars like di terashi maybe there have been things that took place with them on the Lev that nobody has brought to the Forefront or hold the franchise accountable as it's being accountable being held accountable from fans now that are caylin Clark fans more than ever maybe they just been getting away with this so long that's what I'm saying and now and it's being brought to the Forefront of course there's an argument to be made that Clark as people are starting to pay attention more you know what I'm saying let's let's run that back a little bit translated into action from the league of course there's an argument to be made that Clark needs to toughen up and adapt to the wnba's physical game but there's a big difference between legitimate physical play and potentially dangerous tactics what we're seeing goes beyond normal physical play it's a pattern of behavior that seems to have Clark as a specific Target now let's look to the Future and consider possible solutions to this growing problem first the league needs to publicly acknowledge the situation an official statement addressing these concerns would be a good start this would show that the league is aware and takes the safety of its players seriously exactly next a review of current rules may be necessary perhaps it's time to introduce more severe penalties for Dangerous plays especially those that occur away from the ball heavier fines and longer suspensions could serve as a strong deterrent referees also have a crucial role to play they need to be more alert to this type of behavior and willing to make tough calls when necessary perhaps it's time for a refresher for officials with a specific focus on identifying and penalizing iing potentially dangerous plays finally the players themselves need to speak out if respected Veterans of the league spoke out against these T Not only would a fans Advocate but you still got to advocate for yourself man tactics it could have a significant impact after all peer respect is often the most powerful as for Caitlyn Clark she continues to play her game seemingly undisturbed her resilience is admirable but it shouldn't be necessary a talented rookie shouldn't have to survive her first season she should be able to shine without fear of these aggressive fouls the situation we're seeing with Caitlyn Clark isn't just about one player it's a reflection of something bigger something that could Define the future of the WNBA think about it I mean it's type obvious it could redefine the future of the WNBA but it seemed like they don't want it man when they go back to Flying the way they was flying versus the way they flying now what happens if nothing is done if the league continues to remain silent if opposing teams continue to use increasingly aggressive tactics first we run the real risk of seeing Clark say or another Rising Star suffer a serious injury this wouldn't just be a personal tragedy but a devastating blow to the league as a whole second what kind of example are we setting for young athletes who dream of playing in the WNBA are we telling them that if they're too good if they they stand out too much they'll be targets of dirty play yep third how does this affect the image a league that doesn't protect itself the way they are treating Caden Clark is the very reflection of how the franchise is being looked at and then there's going to be adding validation to the fans that were never fans before the WNBA to say look this is the reason why we don't check w we wasn't checking for the WNBA in the first place look at them look how they treat their best player the player that eventually gained my interest now I'm not not even interested because league is just horrible in regards of how they treat their players and knowing how to police and um make sure the game is operating in a more structural structur structural organized way professionally and clean basketball not dirty Foul Play STS that allows talent to be stifled by physical intimidation isn't a league that will attract the best talents or the biggest sponsors and perhaps most worryingly what if Clark decides it's not worth it what if other talented players opt for international leagues where they might feel their safety is taken more seriously the WNBA is at a Crossroads the path it chooses now will have repercussions for years to come will we see a league that Embraces and protects extraordinary Talent allowing players like Clark to elevate the sport to new heights or will we see a league that allows fear and intimidation to dictate the rules the clock is ticking every game that passes without action is a lost opportunity how long until it's too late the ball is in the wnba's court it's time for action it's time to show that the future of women's basketball is bright exciting and above all safe for its Stars what do you all think about this the situation with Caitlyn is serious and needs our attention leave in the comments do you think the WNBA is doing enough to protect its Rising Stars what would you do if you were in the shoes of the League's officials and there's more what I would do was definitely enforce the rules and make sure that regular clean aggressive competitive basketball is taking place but it's not foul B it's not Foul Play It's not dirty basketball it's clean and it's entertainment because that's what it is but exciting entertainment to the point where it also has boundaries in regards of just being every player should feel appreciated but they also have a job to do and being effective in regards to making sure there's a medium out of respect for the appreciation of the players that are basically giving that free entertainment and adding value to make the franchise what it is is a give and take but also understanding these are the rules because it's their job right that's what I would do if you could send a direct message to Caitlyn Clark right now what would you say to her I would tell her she needs to advocate for hold him accountable because she has a voice and she's very P powerful and obviously viable to this league and if the league is smart enough they will listen how would you support her at this moment don't forget to like this video if you agree that this is an issue that deserves more attention share it with your friends who are basketball fans the more people talk about this the greater the chances we'll see real change and if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet what are you waiting for all right family well hope you guys enjoyed the video comment down below what you would do if you were
