Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham isn't pleased with the way teammate Caitlin Clark has been officiated as of late.
"Unfortunately, this type of ---- happens every single game to her and the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it," Cunningham said on her Show Me Something podcast (2:41 mark).
"You see the videos of literally kneeing and cheap-shotting C in the throat," she added. "If she did that to any of our teammates we would be pissed. But they're definitely targeting her and the league and the refs do nothing to protect her."

Protect her from whom? The other players? How would that work?
This is like MLB trying to take out Babe Ruth — that guy was ruining baseball!!!
I don’t know what it is with the Refs (I think they’re taking money) but they are sabotaging the whole “sport” so that the black lesbians can play by their lonesome.
Sophie Cunningham-ooh! I’d like to have some of that!
The other stuff doesn’t matter. My hope is Clark plays in Europe and the WNBA goes bankrupt.
The Refs are weak and/or afraid of appearing to be racist.
My understanding is the opposing players “allegedly” and commit fouls on Clark and the refs turn a blind eye rather than enforcing the rules. Recently, a player received a one game suspension for an obvious punch to Clark’s throat that the nearby ref somehow missed.
I know it’s usually poor form for athletes to complain about fouls. But if the league issues penalties after blatant acts that are not called then the refs are not doing their job properly.
Maybe Caitlin Clark could be one of those "rule breakers" the Left loves so much, and file a lawsuit against the WNBA, backed up by numerous video clips showing obvious criminal assaults against her, ignored by the refs.
The Left loves people who rebel against the "old boy network," Speak Truth To Power, all that sort of thing.
Sophie is a pretty blonde girl.
IOW she has made herself a target.
Or anti-Lesbian Mafia.
The refs may be hesitant to call these flagrant fouls because they are probably lesbians too, and they all stick together.
You are precisely right. You can assault Catlin with no penalty. That is the okay go ahead signal to hurt her. Odd is it not, Black Lesbians assaulting a white super star straight woman that brings money to the league, because she is a straight white super star. She would be wise to go to Europe before she is injured in a manner that would no longer allow her to play. Every damn one of those refs that do not call egregious fouls should be fired.
Protect from illegals moves designed to disable and take out of the game. I don’t recall any throat punching in the NBA. Lots of hip checks and bodyweight slams, but no throat punching.
The WNBA could have gone the classy route to ensure fans stuck around after Caitlin left, but they kind of ruined that.
WNBA is a racist leave. Videos on YouTube clearly show many of those black lesbian players are actually men who couldn’t make it in college and have transitioned to women or are just pretending to be female.
Caitlin may be the only real woman in the wnba.
Do what the NHL does - have an enforcer or two.
Problem solved.
Call them egregious personal fouls and issue fines.
That’s how it would work.
Assaulting white, or even murdering white, people is not a crime in democrat s holes. Get the f away from melanin.
In the manner of the pro wrestling circuit, with or without Caitlin's
knowledge/shared intent.
Sophie is married to Virginia Murdoch.

From whom? From opposing players who figure they will be the name of the week to teach CC how she doesn't belong and isn't wanted in the WNBA. I don't know how they figure that, but it's obvious to any casual onlooker. It's like the "inside joke" of the league.
How to protect the league's most valuable asset? Easy. Warnings, fines, and suspensions of players. If they find intentional targeting, start penalizing the franchises up to and including draft picks. Lastly, the ref situation has to be changed, incompetence is not tolerated generally in professional sports. Pretty much everyone has seen more consistent officiating at their local rec department.
It's been a bad look now for the 3rd year running. It is way past time to change the dynamic of the situation.
