In what has now turned into an ugly scandal, the WNBA finds itself in hot water following accusations that rising star Caitlin Clark is being unfairly targeted both on and off the court. The latest controversy erupted after DJ Carrington hit Clark in the face during a playoff game, leaving her with a black eye. Incredibly, no foul was called, sparking outrage among fans and commentators alike.
Veteran USA Today journalist Christine Brennan, known for her decades of sports coverage, found herself in the crosshairs after she asked Carrington a legitimate question regarding the incident. The WNBA Players Union swiftly jumped to Carrington’s defense, releasing a statement accusing Brennan of promoting “racist, homophobic, and misogynistic vitriol.”
But Brennan wasn’t having it. She fired back, pointing out that she was simply doing her job by asking why the league’s biggest star is getting treated like a punching bag, both literally and figuratively. Brennan’s questions about Carrington’s actions—especially her laughter on the sidelines after the incident—were dismissed by the WNBA, further stoking the flames of controversy.
And the timing couldn’t be worse for the WNBA. Caitlin Clark, fresh off her historic rookie season, has been drawing record-breaking viewership numbers, propelling the league to new heights. But rather than protecting their star, it seems like the league is letting her become the target of physical cheap shots and jealous rivalries, jeopardizing their biggest asset.
As footage of the Carrington incident circulates online, fans are demanding the league take action. Many are calling for a review of the play and for Carrington to face consequences. But so far, the WNBA has remained silent, not imposing any fines or suspensions on Carrington.
This situation puts the league at a critical crossroads. With stars like Clark generating unprecedented attention, the WNBA must decide whether to support their rising talents or let petty rivalries and player politics undermine the sport’s future.
