new reaction after this controversial foul on caitlin clark unnecessary. indiana fever taking on the chicago sky on saturday. the sky's kennedy carter hitting a shot, then heading over to clark and shoulder checking her. the refs called it a common foul, but the league yesterday upgraded the call to a flagrant foul. her and carter were jawing a little bit back and forth the last few possessions. the two were seen before the play, exchanging words at the other end of the court, carter refused to answer questions about the foul after the game. >> i know caitlin clark questions, but later carter saying this on social media. >> besides three point shooting, what does she bring to the table? >> i think at this point, like, i know i'm going to take a couple hard shots a game. >> clark's coach calling the foul unacceptable. >> well, that was a non basketball play that happened many online criticized the foul. >> tennis great martina navratilova saying this is not okay. some comparing it to this hit on rookie angel reese from alyssa thomas, which got thomas ejected

and angel reese, of course, is a part of this story because she and caitlin clark had been rivals. now since they really burst onto the national scene with that lsu victory over iowa in the national championship game in 2023. and all the gesturing from angel reese and what have you. there? the other again, and this is now caitlin clark is three and since that game back in 2023, winning in the ncaa tournament this year, and then two games with her indiana fever beating chicago. so it's a great rivalry and yeah, i caitlin clark was going to the basket driving, you know, the game very well, having played it and she just got clobbered by angel reese, they did call it a flagrant one almost immediately takes a couple of minutes. so there was no delay. and caitlin clark said it when we asked her about it afterwards, she said, you know what what were you thinking about? and she said, all i was thinking about was making those two free throws. so but yes, it's the story line because of the connection and the rivalry between the two yeah. >> and i think we actually have a little bit of what i

on in place of how you could make that case, but caitlin clark, other people would make that caitlin clark herself says, i get this 100%. >> i'm young, i can work toward the next olympics and an olympics after that caitlin clark has faced some resentment for a variety of reasons. >> people, according to whatever narrative they want, want to attribute everything to one thing, whatever it is. but as we discussed last week with carrie champion, it's a combination of things, but say anything you want about caitlin clark. she in addition, they should understand this high tide of caitlin clark is raising all boats as you just pointed out, in addition to that, she has done everything the right way. she said i don't know what an apology from kennedy carter is just the way the game is. and then she praised carter's play. she says the game is rough. i've got to adapt to that. she signs every but a graph. she doesn't whine and complain. she didn't complain about being left off the olympic team. some of this, and it's just not just a white, white thing, but maybe she is in terms of attention now

games last month during saturday's matchup between indiana and chicago carter's shoulder checked caitlin clarkhe rookie guard to the shore before the inbound pass come after the game clark told reporters that she accepts the fact there is a target on her back in the focus is to stay in the game and not retaliate. >> it is what it is i feel like i'm at the point where you accept it and don't retaliate, let them hurt you, be what it is, don't let it get inside of your head you know it's coming i know i'm going to take a hard shot again. >> clark's general manager has had enough, there is a difference between tough defense and unnecessary targeting actions and needs to stop, the league needs to clean up the crap, that is not who this league is carter's teammate angel reese jumped up the bench celebrating clark getting fouled the wnba find reese $1000 for failing to make herself available for media interviews after the game, her team was fined $5000 by the league for failing to make sure the players comply with the wnba media roles also carter refused to talk about the fouled at all after the game

and then went on social media and said, what is caitlin clark all she does is shoot threes. of course she's the vl ticket right now for everybody. and it helps it get them charter flights. and frankly is i think arguably the greatest are the best known athlete in the country right now, maybe most popular athlete in the country. and you're reducing her to that. it's certainly brings all that up, right? it brings up the notion of jealousy or anger i think people are concerned and i've, i've covered with men's and women's sports, but women's sports for a long, long time and there is that concern that we're kind of pigeon holing women's sports into the the girls are jealous of each other, mean girls, whatever. i don't think that's the case here. i think truly it is a conversation, a national conversation that caitlin clark is taken us to whether we wanted to go there or not. and it's not a bad conversation to have. and i truly believe that people are hopefully beyond these stereotype of women being, being two women. and we can just talk about this as athletes potentially being j

so as caitlin clark and i don't mind that at all, my thing is be fair about it, right? and even with some of this commentary now about how women in the wnba should compete. like you said this before you play this clip of angel reese right? we have seen many men and men spores and basketball have the petty is good rodgers, you mentioned the bad boys, michael jordan and i say at thomas still hate each other to this day, but those grudges, that beef is celebrated, it's marketed fans love it, but number one complaint you hear from a lot of mbb, nba fans today is o, is the game is to solve. players are too friendly. but yet when it comes to the women, like everybody has been building up this rivalry between angel reese and caitlin clark, which is very reminiscent of larry bird and magic johnson in the late 70s, early 80s, they couldn't stand each other. they had the most watched men's college basketball final of all time, and they remove that momentum right into the league. same thing happened with agent like caitlin. you guys a lot of people would say, oh, we can't wait to

hazing for caitlin clark? how do you read it? >> i think it is more hazing for caitlin clark. she was setting her records in college basketball saying, just wait, it's a different story at the wnba, it's a different level, give yourself some grace. i think she is learning that, that she does feel she is getting some shots. and there does seem to be an enormous level of jealousy of this woman. people who are saying she's getting endorsements that they can't get because their skin color isn't the same. i would remind them that the first woman who ever had a nike shoe named after her was cheryl swoops, and african american player who is one of the superstars in the early days of the wnba. so just making it so blatantly racist, i don't think that's what we want to do. but it does seem to me to be this attack on caitlin for a number of reasons. and it seems to me that some of these players are suggesting she's getting what she's getting because she is white. she scored more in college basketball then any male or female in history has done. i think that is a lot of the excitement. s

this is a racist targeting of caitlin clark. haven't seen every clip she seems pretty gracious any time she is asked about other players. they are all great players. tough competitors. people get knocked to the ground all the time in basketball. i played in high school. getting knocked to the ground that's not surprising. this was something beyond that do you think race comes into play here? >> oh, i think absolutely. because the players asia wilson, becky hammonds, one of the coaches. all the race baiting. jamel hills, mike freemans of the world. absolutely they have made it into a race thing. it shouldn't be. sports doesn't need that women's sports have growing. women's basketball because of caitlin clark and others is growing but absolutely. and to say to close your eyes after listening to what asia wilson said how this woman, caitlin clark is only popular because she is white and straight. absolutely. look, when you hear it externally, laura, can you imagine the conversations internally. you have been in locker rooms. if the

she is talking about her and caitlin clark and caitlin clark getting such a big hoopla.really is that you can be top-notch at what you are as a black woman, but maybe that's something people don't want to see, they don't see it as marketable, so it doesn't matter how hard i work. really? do you think that is right? i mean, i would say the three biggest stars, most untouchable stars are oprah, michelle obama, and beyonci. so -- and serena williams, simone biles, lebron james, michael jordan, i mean, come on. >> caitlin clark at the tangible quality that nobody could quantify. what that is is the ability to put asses in seats. you don't know who is going to be at the draw and who is not going to be at the draw. there are plenty of white women basketball players that have come through that have been great, but they just haven't been able to draw the type of audience that caitlin clark has and i think the other thing with caitlin, anytime you are a race that is in an industry that usually doesn't excel in that industry, it is going to be more of a spectacle. whether it is ti

i think eventually caitlin clark, i think this is almost a guarantee.ithin a matter of weeks, when they were holding the child in their camp, she wasn't able to play in any of that. she has some international experience but not a lot. she is at a position where it is a little bit tougher because you are a guard a little bit on the slight side. she is adjusting to the physicality where the international level is more. it is a very successful team there is a lot of people that do not get on this team and work this time around. and so i think if we just take the caitlin clark nests away from it and people will probably better understand the decision. >> like you said, the women's team is the most dominant team in the sports. it is tough to break into at any level, let alone your rookie year. thank you so much, greatly appreciate having this conversation with you tonight >> appreciate you. >> always. >>> that is it for me tonight. thank you for joining us. make sure to catch ayman, follow us on x and instagram. after the break , and encore presentation of p

that is not right, weenba chenny carter is defending her foul on caitlin clark. don't have any regrets. that body check is move to c compete when playing hockey not women's basketball. what is going on here? >> tomi: the dog pile on caitlin clark, somebody who came in and bringing so much spotlight and eyes to wnba is disasppointing and members of the media talking about her being white and straight. so undeserved, the way they are attacking this girl. she's been professional and classy for her part in all this. she has not taken part in the cat fights. it is not an easy time if women's sports, we don't need female athletes attacking each other. i hope this passes and they realize what caitlin clark is doing for their association. i will not hold my breath, they seem ded kicated to hating this girl. >> todd: without caitlin clark, nobody is watching the wnba, she is making them money like tiger resuscitated golf. thank you. to baseball, latest gambling controversy has a san diego pad d padres player facing a lifetime ban. he allegedly placed bets while he was inj

and now off it, as caitlin clark is snubbed by the u.s. olympic basketball team. >> what on earth were they thinking? it's just stunning. >> clark says. u.s. basketball officials called her directly to tell her she had not made the team. >> honestly, no disappointment like, i think it just gives you something, something to work for , you know, that's a dream. >> you know, hopefully one day i can be there, her coach says. clark told her the olympic snub will only motivate her going forward. >> she said was, hey coach, they woke a monster, which i thought was awesome. >> so why did clark fail to make the team? some speculate lack of experience. of the 12 players on the olympic team, only three will be first time olympians and all have played at least three years in the wnba. but insiders tell abc news contributor christine brennan there may be another reason for the snub. >> they were hearing one of the sticking points for caitlin clark was that there was concern about her immense fan base being unhappy that she was only getting a few minute
