Dijonai Carrington Pokes Caitlin Clark's Eye: Leaving Caitlin Clark Hurt The Rest Of The Game.

[@MarionJInce]

Carrington intentionally tried to gouge out Clark’s eyes. She must be suspended or banned from playing. The WNBA and referees need to be investigated. The NBA needs to step in and get justice.

[@BelleTx214]

I slowed down the video and watched with two refs one from high school, one private. Both said the officiating is close to criminally bad and the eye gouge was 100 percent intentional.

[@TruthSpeaks123]

[@jamesballard3457]

Carrington should be arrested for aggravated assault because she intentionally tried to blind Clark. After Carrington gets out of prison the league should ban her for life.

[@krysh6196]

Well said......I would never trust her again. With that move the game of basketball was left behind and DC entered the land of metal bars and stripes. Would like to see her filing her nails in jail.

Black Prison ball is part of the color gap in every sport, except Tennis and Chess 🤔

[@Zerox_Prime]

Never happen. Voluntary participation in sports is consent to assaults, such as tackles in football, or knockout punches in boxing. Everyone thug in the WNBA has CC's consent to assault her.

[@donnajaemoon]

I agree.

[@grb024]

There was NOTHING accidental in this THUG play. NOTHING. I’m convinced Dijonai “Cobra Strike” Carrington told her teammates, before the game in the locker room, “Don’t worry about Caitlin Clark. I GOT THIS.” Where’s the commissioner in this? Is she going to STAND BY and allow this to be the look of this league?!?

[@Zerox_Prime]

According to the Dream owner, the League does not look like us.

[@lisathomson8515]

What makes it look intentional is the care she took not to break her nail. Its like a deliberate poke and withdrawl.

[@SamuelYap-w2g]

The Connecticut strategy was to hurt Clark enough to hamstring her game. And that was what happened. The sad part is that other teams may follow suit to beat the Fever in their games. How nefarious!

[@awruble9047]

That is a possible career ending injury to the eye. Knowing Carrington's hate, jealousy and envy of Clark...This looks intentional.

[@Mel-gr7xp]

I was just like that too. I didn’t think it was intentional during the game, but you can see her STEER her fingers into Caitlin’s eye.

[@SamuelYap-w2g]

If that was not intentional, Carrington should have shown some sympathy, or said "I'm sorry!" Her nonchalantly attitude seemed to say,"Gotcha! And I will do it again next chance I get!"

[@archiebald0256]

Polish National handball player Karol Bielecki lost his eye during the game. I will never forget this tragic moment… When i saw this replay i was so scared for Caitlin…Its so lucky it ended only with blue eye!!! Keep fighting CC#22 ❤

[@Zerox_Prime]

CC should pack a TASER every game. The question is who does she use it on: WNBA thugs or crooked refs?

[@josesorongon876]

no doubt its intentional criminal offense

[@1fastal1]

Hard to play when you fear for your life EVERY GAME!

[@motherofthreeb6337]

I agree. Probably, the eye injury had an effect on her vision. Not only did she go for the eye, but she pulled back after touching her eyes! Definitely intentional.

Should be investigated…….ridiculous !

[@patrickrojas8514]

Great take. Your not tripping.

[@kathycunningham6677]

That’s wasn’t accidental n I agree with you it was intentional. This is a shameful act. Why are the “nails” allowed playing ball? Thank you.😊

[@Obiahjones]

It was intentional, as someone that’s been around , that was a felony

[@jamesballard3457]

Yes it was and Carrington should be arrested and when she gets out of prison the league should ban her for life.

[@Zerox_Prime]

As a general rule of law, voluntary participation in a contact sport is consent - and thus not a crime.

[@MadManUSMC]

@@Zerox_Prime Not even remotely true. Players in many sports have been convicted for foul play in a game. INTENTIONALLY attempting to injure a player with an eye gouge can cripple them for life and is a felony since Mustard has shown a history of this behavior towards Clark, even another in this very game. Go look at Hockey. You'll see players who went to jail for stuff they did in game.

[@francishooper9548]

@@Zerox_Prime Not true. You do not consent to actions that are not part of the game. A college basketball player was charged with assault not so long ago.

[@tyingagreement]

It was intentional, track her eyes. She was looking were she wanted to hit and never pulled back. They did the exact same thing to Barry Sanders when he was playing in the 90s. He had to switch to a visor to keep other players from gouging his eyes out. Caitlin is going to need to wear some glasses, because this is not going to stop.

[@Zerox_Prime]

Until CC is granted a light saber, she has no protection from jealous WNBA princesses.

[@eveyrapp2078]

That's intentional. I saw that . Also her total lack of "interest" or curiosity after , when CC was on the floor ( which is not normal) solidifies it for me. Any human beings would have looked ,at least, to see what just happened.she was acting too nonchalant afterwards ( not even staring in that direction). Very suspicious.

[@TruthSpeaks123]

Yeah, I agree!

[@1fastal1]

Never watched GHETTO BALL before...now I know why!

[@joannesmith7906]

In the WNBA rule book, it states that the officials are responsible for checking players for jewellery items of sharp and dangerous objects and long finger nails, due to safety issues and bodily harm, Refs have authority to ask players to trim nails back to finger tips for safety, ANY foul due to nails and eyes is to immediately be called a foul, and if 2 of these fouls are called on the same player, then consequences could lead to suspension.

[@ivandj707]

They don't care about those rules, but CC will immediately get a technical foul if she hits the post with her palm.

[@joannesmith7906]

That is in the rule book too, lol except it's about breakeing it.

[@iancolquhoun4200]

That looks like assault with intent, that’s a criminal offence and the police should be investigating, if you are not good enough to play, blinding your opponent will not improve your game, but it could bring the game into disrepute and reverse the CC effect.

[@Zerox_Prime]

Well written.

Notice that annoited assasin dj's eyes are not following the ball but looking at the damage she inflicted. This was a premeditated disgusting attack. Now there are two games in a row where dj has has maliciously attacked CC.

[@Zerox_Prime]

How many flagrant fouls have been called in the league this season? How many were against CC?

[@NolaDrake-d7j]

It's like 5 or 6 against her, which is 17% of all flagrant fouls this season. Ridiculous amount of hatred. ​@@Zerox_Prime

[@goofydog2]

I've posted on this possibility before. Realizing that one of CC's MAJOR assets are her 3-pointers, but later on, I realized her next MAJOR asset is her passing ability. What do you need to do either of these skills besides whole body strength, it's the eyes. CC has to have tremendous 'peripheral' eyesight. One MUST have this gift to shoot the lights out from beyond the the 3-point line. I started getting paranoid about someone intentionally poking CC's eyes because If she loses her peripheral eyesight, she's FINISHED until they heal. If they don't heal, she's permanently FINISHED...

[@Obiahjones]

She could have easily lost an eye, the league God damn should have taken that extremely seriously, that was one of the most disgusting sporting actions I’ve ever seen , because it was intentional

[@Zerox_Prime]

We have been told by the Atlanta Dream owner that the league does not look like us.

[@zealazax6287]

Looks intentional to me also. Her eyes were pink and watering till 2 quarter

You need borh eyes for depth perception. That is a fact. If one eye is suddenly off you can fail entirely to even put a cube of sugar in a cup.

[@timmyfoxworth6710]

The real story is she meant to put out her eye put out her eye. Think about that. It's not if it's when they put her out with bad bad injury..

If I were coach of the Fever, I would not play Caitlin for the rest of this series unless the WNBA takes immediate action and suspends Carrington for, at least, the next 2 games. An intentional eye stab with finger nails could have blinded CC for life in that eye. I would not let these criminals continue to commit any more felony assaults on my franchise player. Protecting CC by holding her out of this series would create a firestorm with fans and with the sports media, bringing needed attention to these targeted crimes against Caitlin.

Totally intentional, she needs a suspension and flagrant 2. I am so sick of Carrington. And then Carrington pushes her. I am furious. The Fever need to start standing up for Caitlin, kick ass and take names later.

[@floydfulmer7713]

I called this intentional when it happened and that official should be suspended from any further playoff action for not calling it properly and Carrington should have been suspended from further play! After Carrington failed to block the shot and the ball was gone, she turned the fingers of her blocking hand downward into a claw striking down into Clark's right shooting eye. That is a fact. That was not a natural basketball shot blocking move! Clark is right eye, right handed and Carrington knows that. This was an intentional assault and the WNBA needs to take action against Carrington for this intentional assault! Hard fouls are one thing and players, including Clark understand they will happen and accept it. This was not a hard foul, this was an intentional attempt on the part of Carrington to maim Clark's right shooting eye and that is something players do not accept and should not have to accept! Shame on the WNBA for failing to protect players from thugs like Carrington. Shame on the WNBA for failing, 21 hours after Carrington's assault on Clark, for doing nothing about it!

[@Zerox_Prime]

The official should be suspended? Caitlin has been assaulted several times without consequence to the offenders. WNBA (Wicked Nasty B!tch Association) wants middle America to know that WNBA is off limits to us. As the Dream Owner says, we don't look like them. Guess what. There's a smell test, too. We don't stink like them. When this season ends, CC will receive offers from other leagues and associations. CC's teammates don't protect her. The officials don't protect her from assaults. The Commissioner does not protect CC from multiple assaults. CC should excuse herself from the next game due to eye injury. Then, her season ends and offers from other leagues who recognize her value begins. Hint - CC should not continue her career with Wicked Nasty B1tches.
