Women’s basketball star player Caitlin Clark has taken abuse on the court for months on end and has finally had enough, judging from her reaction to an official.

The Fever star was running down court when she was allegedly shoved by Golden State player Kiah Stokes and was hit with a “knee to the quad.”

No foul was called.

The slows are posting screenshots – so I slowed down the video just for them.
This is why Caitlin Clark went off on the ref. A knee to the quad, after being hip held for 10 feet. She was 100% justified. pic.twitter.com/2fH59xklYf

Minutes later, however, officials fouled a Fever teammate.

That’s when Clark let at least one of the officials have it, allegedly dropping F-bombs on the court.

50 uncalled flagrant fouls in 70 games
22 phantom calls in just 19 games
Benched by her coach to stat pad Mitchell
Throttled by referees for foul management
Slaughtered by opponents with zero protection

The plays drew a lot of attention, with X users dissecting the moves, with many claiming that Clark was within reason for going off on the ref.

This is a foul against SGA in every NBA game.

Defender is moving left, reaches into the shooting motion with her right hand making contact. Is it egregious? No. Is it a text book foul? Yes.

Read her lips pretty well on this clip

When she turned around she said “what do I gotta do to get a call?!

Then said “fuckkk”

“I got hit 5x! That’s ridiculous “

“I got kneed in my f****** leg! “

Could be.

They’re going to slowly flip this to her being a whiny ass. That’s the plan.

She should be T’d up for this.

If you think it’s a foul or not you can’t do this and the refs can’t let her do it or they have to let everyone do it

Despite the court drama, Clark ended the game with 13 points, six assists and three rebounds. Still, the Indiana Fever lost 88-77.
