Is Caitlin Clark really injured — or just 'tapping out'?​
The Blaze ^ | August 22, 2025

Posted on 08/22/2025 1:50:21 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The story surrounding Caitlin Clark’s mysterious injury keeps evolving, yet Clark has been physically active while she’s supposedly in recovery.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock believes that like other female sports stars before her, she may be suffering from a mental health decline.

“Caitlin Clark has disappeared and vanished. She doesn’t talk to reporters. We’re getting no legitimate information from anybody in the Indiana Fever organization. This is the biggest star in sports, and other than a Sue Bird podcast, we hear nothing,” Whitlock says.

“And so, in my view, they’ve put out some information to throw us off the trail. This is part of the cover-up of, like, there’s something weird going on with Caitlin Clark. ... I don’t think this is all physical,” he continues.

Caitlyn Clark will be fine. She did fantastic in college. She’s a competitor, not a china doll.

Nobidy handles being continually assaulted indifferently. She is being constantly punished for excellence.

There’s only so much stress from racism that a person can take. Can you imagine a black woman being treated the way Caitlin has been treated? The entire WNBA would be shut down.

Plus I doubt that she has taken the "red pill" yet.

Do you know what Hack-a-Shaq was? Because to my memory Clark is a very good free throw shooter, so good luck with that strategy. I don’t remember them playing Hack-a-Shaq on Steve Nash. When Don Nelson came up with that, he did it because he was playing the odds.

Maybe the WNBA needs to realize they are losing their cash cow. They seem
to enjoy seeing her get beaten up for ticket sales.

They’re not calling fouls so the strategy is working. Sophia Cunningham got fined recently for complaining about it.

Clark has a great career ahead of her and a huge portfolio of endorsements that make her a mint .

Why should she risk her career and health just to rush back from an injury to help the WNBA that hates her, a team that doesn’t appreciate her and her ghetto teammates who dislike her and let other teams players tee off on her with impunity.

Seems like a pretty easy and logical decision to me

My speculation is that the people engaging in this speculation haven’t actually suffered through a severe groin injury. It’s not a quick recovery. The only cover-up is her team not admitting yet that she’s probably going to be out for the rest of the season.

Look, hazing happens. If she just acts like it’s nothing it will stop.

I wasn’t bashing, just made a statement.

Because she wants to play. It must be killing her having to watch games. She never missed close to this much in her career.

This is her 2nd year. It’s not hazing.

She’s just a kid and to be thrown into a situation as she was, anything is possible.

She is bigger than the wNBA. She can do what she wants. It’s already apparent that non American heritage women can play just as well as anybody else. A league comprised of great Asian, European, South Americans (no matter the color) players would be more interesting than the way wNBA plays now. She could walk away from her contract.Take the financial “hit” start playing in Europe, form a WORLD basketball female league and become an international star. She would have endorsements from international companies.

Why get hit playing a non contact sport? Her playing future could be ruined by a cheap shot.

Caitlin Elizabeth Clark, become a professional lady golfer, I’ve seen your swing on video, two years away from the LPGA Tour. I don’t think Nelly Korda would try to beat you up on the back nine, like the ‘ladies’ in the W do.

Clark had her historic first season.

I’m sure she loves the game but this is the WNBA we are talking about

There is no percentage in getting on the court injured while having the entire league take cheap shots at you while everyone involved watches and does nothing but let it happen

The WNBA and Clark’s loser team and teammates need her a lot more than she needs them. There is absolutely nothing in the WNBA or her team worth coming back from injuries too soon

you know, I didn’t even think about the endorsements. So yeah, she isn’t going to give that up for Europe.

Maybe it a negotiation plan with the WNBA. Protect me or pay me to sit on the bench “injured”. Think of the options WNBA, may lose fans or the star! Pick on.
