Caitlin Clark told to ABANDON the WNBA after she was punched in the throat in latest act of sickening on-court violence
The Daily Mail ^ | June 25, 2026 | Max Winters

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.

Go back and look. it wasn’t a punch and it looked incidental. There wasn’t even a mark on her Lilly-white neck.

It looked like a flop.

Maybe some of these thugs need “tuning up” after the game.

She should press criminal charges and, if she can get an impartial jury, sue civilly.

Sad if this is what they want. But a friendly suggestion. The NBA season is over and I’m sure a few refs who aren’t afraid to call a flagrant fowl, or eject someone who is clearly committing possibly injurious fouls would like some extra work and pay. Just a suggestion though.

Lilly-white neck? That’s an odd turn of the phrase.
Did you just accidentally tip your hand?

I wasn’t directing my comment at you. It was directed at the women who believe that they should be paid equal to the men. The truth is the NBA already underwrites the WNBA. If the WNBA had to earn every dime on their own without the combined tv contract and financial benefit from the NBA, they wouldn’t have a pot to squat over.

How is it odd? Her neck is Lilly-white, even among whites. Fawk. Get over it.

Watch the video and see the non-punch, no slap, no choke, no grab, no shit.

What does that have to do with anything?
Unless…

I wish Caitlin would take some martial arts classes privately. No publicity.

The next time something happens, break the arm. or leg of the person who did it.

I bet it wouldn’t happen again.

You’d be able to see a MARK, if anything matched the description of what is being said about the incident.

And she is Lilly-white. Deal with it.

The top scorer in the wnba right now,iirc,is kelsey plum,a whitey...many great white players but the lesbos would rather feature some fat red lipped animal with 1" fake eyelashes.

I have come to believe that white players are deliberately left off teams...especially the nba..the leagues want dumbed down idiots who will go along with the league schemes.

I won’t argue with your interpretation of the so-called attack on Clark. But for the life of me, I can’t see the importance of saying she’s “lily white”.

Sometimes such a description is just background noise - meaning that it was thrown in just for the hell of it. It serves no real purpose.

But sometimes it holds a deeper, and far less innocent meaning - a meaning that’s meant to degrade Clark here. I strongly suspect the latter. But I could be wrong. If so, I apologize. I will leave it at that.

Go ahead and tell me again to “deal with it”. That’s okay. No disrespect to you. But for me this conversation is over.

There is plenty of film and yhose strikes are crimes.

The league issued a protective order for MJ. They knew which side their bread was buttered.

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

I was wondering the same - it didn’t look like a punch to me - at worst it is a push.

I don’t think Caitlin was flopping though
