“They're definitely targeting her and the league and the refs do nothing to protect her.” Sophie Cunningham calls out the WNBA for its lax response to the consistent “targeting” of the league’s biggest star Caitlin Clark. Cunningham said she and her teammates did not see the flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark by Alyssa Thomas in real time, but added “I promise you that if we would have seen that happen, we would have had her back.” “Unfortunately, this type of s--- happens every single game to her, and the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it.” Thomas appeared to drive a fist into Clark’s throat after a play — but no foul was called at the time. The WNBA eventually suspended Thomas for one game and fined her for the flagrant foul.
