Caitlin Clark told to ABANDON the WNBA after she was punched in the throat in latest act of sickening on-court violence

Caitlin Clark has been urged to leave the WNBA behind after she was the victim of another sickening act of on-court violence.

The Indiana Fever superstar, who has transformed the fortunes of the WNBA since entering the league in 2024, appeared to be punched in the throat by Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury.

It is the latest example of Clark falling victim to rough treatment from rivals, which also marred her rookie season in 2024.

But the WNBA continues to overlook the physicality imposed on Clark and referees didn't even bother to call a foul for the incident involving Thomas.

That has prompted Boomer Esiason, the 1988 NFL MVP who now works as a New York sports radio host, to tell Clark to quit the WNBA for good.

He said on Thursday morning: 'If I were Caitlin Clark, I would seriously consider going to play overseas somewhere and get the royal treatment and get real money.

A good prosecutor looking at that video should move for an arrest.

Why are you asking me this? I never said they should. I think people should get paid depending upon how well they do the job...one reason I am against unions.

Caitlin should box the ears of the woman who punched her in the throat.

I guess we shouldn’t expect a bunch of stupid, bigoted morons to act like civil human beings, huh?

If she leaves she’ll take most of the white viewer’s interest in the league with her. That could sink the entire WNBA. I hope she does leave. Those idiots deserve to fail.

She’ll retire in a couple of years anyway because her injuries will eventually catch up to her unless the WNBA is going to crack down on physicality aka “Bad Boys” style of basketball (won’t happen). The NBA realized that they needed to keep Michael Jordan healthy for the long term but they were also in the business of making $$$$. The WNBA is not trying to make a profit.

Did anything happen to the racist b****es who did this to her?

I’m so tired of hearing about “White Supremacy” and “Whites are the racists.” We see the opposite, each and every day.

The thugs win if Clark quits. She needs a good attorney and to start suing her aggressors and the league.

The was a great thread today on the Semmelweis Effect. Unfortunately Caitlin is thoroughly infected with it. Her lifelong dream has been to play in the WMBA and she can't see that it's a league of vicious pit bulls. She'd rather stay than admit she was wrong.

The WNBA issued a sternly written letter and issued a ONE game penalty.

Um.......did anyone watch the video?

That was not a punch. It looked like the other chic was just trying to steady herself.

Clark looked like a soccer player flopping in order to get a call.
