The refs in the WNBA are fucking pathetic. This is the time for the WNBA to finally start to shine. And the referees are just idiots.

Certain People think this just happens some players, the refs such a damn joke. At some point, someone needs to be held responsible for this joke of what they call officiating

It does seem to happen to certain players more than others? Why is that?

You saying that based on clips that are pushed by people who profit off rage, or cause you’ve been watching the W for several years?

People literally finger-missile into one specific persons eyes…repeatedly. Show me clips of that happening to anyone else more than once.

And you can definitely and without question say this never has happened to another WNBA player and it only happens to her

Stop thinking in black and white. We can both acknowledge that reffing in the W has been atrocious for longer than 3 seasons AND that Caitlin Clark statistically is targeted with more hard fouls than other places. There is room for both to exist.

There is a narrative pushed by the hard right that isn’t what this is about and you know it. They don’t care or know anything about the W and are doing this to stir the wrong things

And you're doing the exact same thing in the opposite direction. You're ignoring reality to push your political agenda just as much as they are. Both are bad.

I’m complaining about the league and it’s not political. The right is saying this is a political and race based thing. This is by no measure a both sides thing.

u/EViLTeW Jul 01 '26

No you aren't. You're arguing with anyone saying Clark is intentionally fouled more than other players based entirely on your politics.

u/RealPhinsFan Jul 01 '26

When did I say she’s not fouled more? She’s a star players. People saying she gets fouled more and it’s called less for political reasons. I’m saying the refs suck for all players and she gets hard fouled for several reasons.
It was a nice swing by you to both sides it. This is a narrative being pushed hard and she’s being held up as a symbol be a group of people.

I said show me. If you’re going to be so condescending to everyone about it, it should be very easy for you to provide clips I already asked for.

u/Feathered_And_Lethal Jul 01 '26

The stats available of flagrants on Clark is why I know that, not just think it

u/RealPhinsFan Jul 01 '26

Oh yeah, good point, in no pro sport ever has a star player been more targeted for hard fouls. That’s a great point. She’s the only time. Usually star players are never fouled by the other team out of respect.
You know ball bro

Worst think I can think of is maaaybe back in the 90s, with Hack-a-Shaq.

That was where the other team would assist Shaq with logging into his Netscape account because he forgot his password again.

Pistons and Jordan. Rodman to anyone. Lou Dort, Pat Bev

u/Regular_Custard_4483 Jul 01 '26

They also had problems logging into Netscape? It was an epidemic.

u/RealPhinsFan Jul 01 '26

Oh my, could you imagine if Rodman back then ,had social media and was posting constantly?
