May 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\nClark Called Out\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Clark\u2019s fans will defend her behavior, USA Today columnist Nancy Armour isn\u2019t buying it, and she let Clark have it in her latest piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the petulance that is turning people off,\u201d Armour wrote. \u201cThere\u2019s at least one instance every game that Clark acts as if she\u2019s been shot after pushing off someone else or she drops to the court without ever being touched.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s also at least one instance every game of Clark berating a referee over a call she didn\u2019t get or one she didn\u2019t think she deserved to get. She doesn\u2019t even need to be playing to get worked up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Armour also argued that Clark has long been getting preferential treatment from the referees making her actions even harder to fathom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cContrary to what the most irrational base of Clark\u2019s fandom believes, she is not being attacked. Opposing players are not going after her because they\u2019re jealous of her. The W is, and always has been, a physical league, and Clark is guarded harder and tighter because she so often has the ball in her hands and because there is no place on the court where she\u2019s not a threat,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, Clark\u00a0is getting calls, more than most players. She\u2019s averaging 6.0 free throw attempts a game this season, ninth-highest in the league. No one else on the Fever is averaging more than 4.9 attempts per game.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot every player has to be liked by everybody. But Clark won over the entire country with the way she played. Now she\u2019s at risk of turning people off for the very same reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark\u2019s Fans Chime In On Armour\u2019s Comments<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for the \u201cClarksies\u201d to come for Armour and anyone else that\u2019s speaking negatively on their beloved star.<\/p>\n
\u201cRefs allow her to be abused she does not flop this is just racism spin,\u201d a fan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou all are garbage. She\u2019s the best woman in college basketball, and this is what you do? Pure TRASH,\u201d another fan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to see CC quit just so the WNBA goes back to being completely irrelevant. I\u2019ll never understand the hate for someone that brought so many fans to the games,\u201d another fan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re an idiot. The W is full of floppers. CC is the least of them,\u201d a fan mentioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod. I wish she would go play in Europe and we can be her fans over there and the WNBA can just fail,\u201d a fan replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother person who won\u2019t admit they jsut hate a white girl from Iowa. You want to write about flops\u2026 maybe start here,\u201d another fan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis might be the most delusional, inaccurate thing I\u2019ve ever read. When CC leaves (and she will), the WNBA finally dies,\u201d a fan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDisgusting piece. Clearly written by someone who hasn\u2019t watched games of CC and just dislikes White people,\u201d another fan spewed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clark Recently Made History<\/p>\n
Despite her struggles for most of the season, Clark made WNBA history by becoming the fastest player to reach both 1,000 career points and 500 career assists. She achieved this monumental milestone in just 59 career games, shattering the previous records held by Sue Bird (82 games) and Sabrina Ionescu (84 games).\u00a0<\/p>\n
She technically holds the fastest pace for reaching 500 career assists and maintained the highest career assists per game average (8.6) in league history.<\/p>\n
During her standout rookie campaign, she set the rookie records for most points (769), most assists (337), and most threes (122) in a single season.<\/p>\n
She owns the WNBA\u2019s all-time single-game assist record with 19 dimes in a matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Indiana Fever have a dilemma, and it involves star guard Caitlin Clark.
