Can I sue the WNBA Refs for Bias?

[MN Nice Native @BWIGateGirl]

@janninereid1 Yes, that started my interest. Then I became invested

[MN Nice Native @BWIGateGirl]

@Mario_Sneh What an asshole. I would have paid you back the next day. It's the right thing to do.

🏀I WENT BACK AND CHARTED THE FILM. NOW I HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE WNBA.

I didn’t want opinions. I didn’t want narratives. I wanted to see it possession by possession.

So I rewatched Indiana vs. New York and charted the contact on Caitlin Clark myself.

And I DIDN’T EVEN FINISH THE 4TH QUARTER.

My film chart:

63% of the possessions I tracked with Clark handling the basketball featured what I graded as a hand-check, grab, pull or bump.

54% featured contact I graded as a defensive foul.

I counted 82+ separate instances of illegal contact.

On ONE POSSESSION, I counted 11 separate contacts that could’ve been whistled.

Now here’s the punchline:

Caitlin Clark officially went to the free-throw line FOUR TIMES.

FOUR. 🤣

So somebody at @WNBA needs to explain something to me.

Either New York suddenly assembled the greatest collection of perimeter defenders basketball has ever witnessed…

OR CAITLIN CLARK IS BEING OFFICIATED UNDER A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STANDARD.

Because you cannot pick somebody up 94 feet, face-guard her, chase her through screens, hand-check her, grab her hip, redirect her movement and bump her off her path possession after possession and convince me that almost all of it is legal defense.

At some point, when the SAME PLAYER repeatedly receives this kind of physical treatment without a proportional whistle, people are going to start asking whether this is incompetence…

OR AN AGENDA.

And THAT is the conversation the national media seems terrified to have.

@espn @espnW @WNBA — ROLL THE FILM.

Don’t show me Clark complaining afterward.

Don’t show me her facial expressions.

Don’t debate whether she needs to “control her emotions.”

SHOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER BEFORE SHE REACTED.

Because after charting this game possession by possession, I’m convinced the biggest Caitlin Clark officiating controversy isn’t the fouls they call.

IT’S THE ABSURD NUMBER THEY DON’T.

🎥 WATCH THE CONTACT. COUNT IT YOURSELF. THEN TELL ME I’M WRONG.

@NatalyaOba My recycling and garbage are loaded by the trash trucks at 4:30 am. It has to be out the night before. I'm not about to stay up until 3:00 am. No one is judging my street who is judging yours?

[MN Nice Native @BWIGateGirl]

@GoBlue808 @C038254 Too many women talking over each other. Agh

[MN Nice Native @BWIGateGirl]

@C038254 4 women talking over each other is exhausting and off putting. Drop mc nutt
