Opposing players aren't fond of Caitlin Clark ... which should be good for the WNBA

It’s pretty obvious that some WNBA players aren’t too fond of Caitlin Clark.

Which should turn out to be a pretty good thing for the WNBA.

The anti-Caitlin sentiment has been growing clearer with each passing game. It flared up in the biggest way Saturday, when Chicago’s Chennedy Carter threw a shoulder into an unsuspecting Clark, knocking Clark to the ground. Carter’s teammate, Angel Reese, an old Clark rival from college, cheered the move on from the bench.

This was a clear escalation of some head-to-head play between the two over the previous few possessions, including Clark appearing to throw an elbow at Carter and appearing to say something to her face.
