Tennis legend Martina Navratilova called out WNBA players on Saturday over their treatment of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, which was on full display against the Chicago Sky. Clark was on the receiving end of a hard foul from Sky guard Chennedy Carter and a rough box out against fellow rookie Angel Reese – both players saw the sharpshooter hit the deck.
The Carter play was the one that garnered the most attention on social media. Carter also appeared to call Clark a 'b----' before leveling her with a hip-check. 'The players in the WNBA need to realize that Clark is helping all of them, now and in the long run. is the tide that will raise all boats!' Navratilova wrote on X. Navratilova further explained she believed Clark’s impact on the WNBA game will have a greater financial effect on the league.
