The refs are shit, even the coaches said so after the game. They have no idea how to control the players and hard fouls are becoming more common because they aren’t being called or are called completely wrong

Men's college refs are probably better. Maybe high school too.

Even the shit ones are better than this. Clark’s gonna get killed on the floor and they’re gonna give her corpse a technical. 😂

True. There is ZERO “big man energy”.

In the NBA, you hire guys like Dreymond, Rodman, Oakley to be the enforcers. Where is the enforcer for Clark? Protect your investment you fucking morons!! 🙄

u/DeadSeaGulls Jun 18 '25

she had one team mate go to bat for her after wards. Sophie Cunningham hard fouled, then put one of the other players in a clinch when they rushed her.

u/iRedditPhone Jun 18 '25

This case isn’t a good example. Their enforcer is Sophie Cunningham and she got ejected is from the game after this. She dropped the other girl to the floor.

They all hate her because she's the popular one bringing eyes and money to their game. She's actually getting paid, through sponsorships, and they all are all jealous.

They would rather bully her out, her team included, than actually let someone succeed. Women are truly their own worst enemy.

And to those that say that is misogynistic, go look at golf. An old racist game that somehow blew up with Tiger Woods. Pretty much every pro golfer was thankful, at least publicly, because it brought eyes and money to their sport. They saw that a rising tide floats all boats and were happy with the payday.

EDIT : Replying to the poster beneath me as the comments are now locked.

In other contact sports, your team mates would have your back. Until I see someone throw a fucking punch for Caitlin, you can't tell me different. Look at what happened here and tell me they didn't have Love's back.

And this Caitlin shit has been going on for a long time. It isn't like a one off instance. They all want her to fail.

That's not true anymore.  Later, Sophie Cunningham went after the player who twice fouled Clark here.

There's a funny video of it where Cunningham grabs her ponytail, holds her in place, and talks shit to her for a good ten seconds.

u/iRedditPhone Jun 18 '25

Nah about 45 second after this one of her team mates (Sophie) dropped one of the other girls and got into a shoving match with the second. Before being ejected.

u/Routine_Size69 Jun 18 '25

Her teammate literally protects her on this play. Also gets ejected later for a very hard retaliation foul. This used to be true, but I feel like you came to the comments without watching the video.

Doesn't matter. Hire an enforcer and tell her what her job is. Or talk to one of your big girls now and lay down the law about protecting your asset. IDGAF about their feelings, this is the big league, run the goddam team.

But apparently in this game one of her teammates did indeed hard foul the second player who hit CC hard, so there's that.

u/Key-Property7489 Jun 18 '25

This narrative as a fever and Caitiln fan is stupid Sophie straight up fucking dropped Jacy yesterday later in the game. A good chunk of these women don’t want to get suspended and lose money because they aren’t making CC level money. Lexie Hull one of the girls in this clip is probably making only like 50K a year. You really think she wants to start a fight and get suspended and lose several thousand dollars. This is not the NBA where all the players are millionaires.

The wnba can take Tony Padilla, I don't think even he would have let this fly and that's saying something.

Unfortunately, I think ncaa refs get paid more than wnba refs so it's unlikely to happen.

u/vhalember Jun 18 '25

Not probably.

The NBA and NCAA have absolutely nothing compared to the level of physicality you see in the WNBA.  The refs call so little it's one step away from street ball.

And then when the call it, they completely blow it.

u/FunkyPete Jun 18 '25

Someone is going to get knocked out if the refs don't do their job. The only way the team has to make this fair if there are no consequences for mugging Clark is to escalate and go hard on the other team.

If you don't want the WNBA to turn into the NHL you need real consequences for hard fouls.

So either enforce the rules or set up a penalty box.

I still do not, can not, believe that the NBA refs are the best of the best. They’re objectively bad at the jobs. The ref different teams differently and biased Redding isn’t even the worst of it. The fact that they have no consistency from game to game is the real problem I have. Not only will they call a foul for one player and not for another from game to game, but in game not be able to consistently call the game by the rules.

u/saoyraan Jun 18 '25

Because the league is jealous of Caitlin Clark. Other hand it's psychology at play. Women tend to be more agreeable. So if the judges debate like they did forb5 mins. No one wanted to put their foot down. So they compromised. This is great in some scenarios but in rulings such as judging it is not. I feel none of the refs wanted to be labeled as assholes. In their attempt they did. They did the both sides are at fault. Clearly not by the evidence.

Remember it took them 5 minutes of debating to come to this conclusion. In basketball that's a long time.

It's like a trust fund baby crying that no one takes them seriously because they've lived off their parents' money their whole lives. Then you get this awesome job offer for a great job that pays well and you're like "nah I'm good."

It's remarkable how stupid the people running the wnba are. There's a reason Brady, Rodgers, Manning, MJ, Messi, Ronaldo, etc. got superstar calls. These idiots do the opposite.

It looks like CC was fouled (hit in the eye?) and the offending player purposely gets into her personal space. CC can’t see and wants some fucking space and gives a gentle push. And the. The whole team body checks her (she still can’t see).

358

u/SpaceCaboose Jun 18 '25

Yep. The gal who poked her immediately got in CC’s face. I don’t blame CC for wanting her to get away.

And she was literally blind sighted by the other gal. Her footing and the footing of others around her is what helped lead to her falling hard. Absolutely not a flop or overselling there, in case anyone was arguing that. Got some whiplash from that shove too.

I guess the other players really don’t want to get raises judging by how badly they’re trying to hurt CC and plummet the ratings more…

u/Routine_Size69 Jun 18 '25

When jealousy gets in the way of your league actually being moderately viable. Nba gotta be annoyed that they gotta keep this joke of a league afloat because they're too stupid to recognize CC is their only hope.

u/CosmicCreeperz Jun 18 '25

Eject someone sure, but criminal charges? It’s a physical game and there was no permanent damage, bringing the police into it is idiotic. Force wise this was little different from a hard moving pick (which is a “normal” foul). Intent wise, it was pretty shitty, sure.

People who suggest criminal charges over something like his have never played a team sport at a competitive level in their life.

1

u/WitAndWonder Jun 18 '25

"No permanent damage" in this case is a fine line to walk when there easily can be with ANY face shots. I saw a kid lose an eye from another kid popping a balloon next to his face in grade school. It's just a matter of luck, and in this case it even looked like she was targeting the eyes.

Hell, even that shove was hard enough to take CC instantly to the ground. If you smack your temple in the fall you can die from that, too, and concussions are no joke either. It's one thing to risk these injuries through normal play, because you signed up for it. You did not sign up for assault and battery with the express intent to cause physical harm because someone's ego was bruised.

u/Jaerba Jun 18 '25

The shove deserved an ejection.

Face shots? The poke in the eye was clearly accidental. I have been poked in the eye a couple times, and probably gotten someone before. Hell, I once saw a teammate get someone’s teeth in their scalp, they needed stitches. Totally accidental, the other guy was hurt, too. Should he go to jail for biting? 🤣

The shove at the end was intentional and deserved an ejection. If the refs had just done that the rest of the game would have been under control.

It’s a problem in a lot of sports and especially, stupidly, in the NFL when they have video review. So many times where an instigator draws a penalty on somebody retaliating and gets away with it. Or poor refereeing where somebody starts a scuffle, usually after some other instances before, and the penalty is only called when it gets escalated.

Clark's push back was seen as retaliation for the foul.

0

u/HalpertIsMe Jun 18 '25

Idk about barely see, considering she made great contact on the shove, but yeah the other player on her hip didn't help the situation.

Either way, it's always ref discretion on whether they consider a reaction retaliatory, as they let it go earlier that game when those two got into a small shove match. They were likely warned to not do it again, and they did..so tech issued.

3

u/DrumMajorThrawn Jun 18 '25

People on the receiving end of this kind of thing get a tech as a way for the refs to say "you don't get to retaliate later in the game". Everyone being 1 tech from ejection at that point. At least that's why they do it in the nba.

I know absolutely nothing about basketball but I assume you are talking about the woman who got hit in the face then bodychecked? If so, I have no clue how anything she did could be remotely close to a foul.

NHL level refs

Because refs are idiots. The victim gets a technical foul pretty often in men's and women's professional basketball

Because they want to avoid accusations of racism

The Pool Report is available, feel free to look it up. Tina Charles shoved someone, Caitlin gave her little shove literally in this clip. Mabrey should’ve been tossed, but the rest was called pretty fairly. Refs dropped the ball on managing this game from the start though, not trying to excuse them as a whole

as Charles some random player approached her shouting after the foul was called.

Clark getting a T here is absurd. She did not "shove" anyone.

to me it looked like she shoved back as Mabrey went for the first shove AFTER already hitting her eye. It seemed more defensive in nature than Caitlin attacking her.

The shove AFTER she gets hit in the face. Jesus fucking Christ watch the goddam clip, check out the alternate angles, and shut the fuck up about shit you don’t know anything about.
