Of course, it was on purpose, and intentional with the intent to end a career. Carrington should be in jail for what she did. But the spineless commissioner that the wnba has can't handle her job. Carrington should have been kicked out of the league.

Careful saying Caitlin Clark agreed with the players' association; Clark didn't say she agreed with stripping the reporter of her press credentials. And, I believe Carrington deliberately poked Clark in the eye. Carrinton never turned her head to look for the ball, she Kept looking straight at Clark, Carrington bent her hand at the wrist and jabbed her fingers forward into Clark's eye.

It's hard to turn the other cheek if they actually take out your eye Caitlin

[@jamesshea9575]

Caitlin is wrong if not disingenuous with the Carrington comment. Never have NBA players been shown to direct their fingernails toward the eye of someone they fouled. The next step in this degeneration of what is a technical II would be eye gouging. The reporter was right.

I don't understand stand why you had to make such a big deal about the reporter Brennan. Although I see your point, I didn't think Caitlin was taking position against the reporter and with the players' union. But if you're right, I'm really disappointed in Caitlin. If she won't stand up for herself, why should the fans? The jealous mean spirited sisterhood will continue to walk all over her.

[@darendaanastazi2375]

Caitlin is a class act. I don’t think we’ll ever know what she really thinks……her fans are front of mind with her. She honors them. The difference between eye pokes in the NBA and the W is those stupid nails. They need to be off during games. Period.

[@marceybull]

I dont think you all get it ... She seems to want us all to love the game, for the game ... She appreciates her fans, IMO. She doesn't want fans to "stand up" for her against someone else on a personal level. She grew up with three brothers, she's an adult and she can take care of herself. Not to mention she has been a fan of the WNBA for along time and knows how it rolls ... (I do think she was a bit hard on Ms. Brennan, the journalist, tho) ... ... Signed, an Iowa native/grad and newbie Fever fan.

[@zeaferjones1404]

I think her throwing that reporter under the bus in favor of a girl that hates her and did poke her in the eye intentionally is actually pretty cowardly. This makes me think the Fever are keeping Smith.

[@karencarlisle2887]

She has always took the high road and it's because she values being a role model to kids. If she reacts negatively to anyone or anything they will annihilate her and say u ain't a role model for kids. That's what she wants her legacy to b. And say she did say something do u realize what would happen next season? They will hurt her for sure.

[@ScottZZZ-y5o]

Yeah I agree that throwing the reporter under the bus was bad. If CC keeps that up, when something really bad happens, nobody will want to defend her. I do think the WNBA ought to ban those ridiculous raptor claws - no finger nails past the end of the finger.

[@CJ-pt4ku]

I agree. This was cowardly.

[@joeboyd4064]

carrington is just plain creepy!!!

[@marceybull]

Hadn't thought of it that way! She's therefore being diplomatic ... I do think she is tired of people acting like they need to "stand up for her" when just wants to hoop.

[@princeofthecats9131]

If I was CC I would not forgive my teammate for making fun of me either

[@noprisonplanet]

I can see it's better for her image if CC takes this non-confrontational stance, but Mustard DEF did that poked her in the eye on purpose. Don't gas light your fans, CC.

[@noragriffin6432]

It is not gaslighting, it is self preservation. She still wants to play in the WNBA in 2025, with as much peace and harmony as she can muster. I've never witnessed this much sabatage in sports in my 6+ decades of life. It was worse than T. Hardings' attack on N. Kerrigan. If you hate me that much, then everybody line up at the same time, throw your punches, and let's get it over with once and for all. Even if I know you are going to beat the spit out of me, that's how I personally prefer it, face to face, no surprises, no sneak attacks. And it is not a natural part of the game. We've all seen batters check their swing at the plate, golfers stop their swing 2/3s of the way through a drive, etc. and on and on. 17% of all flagrant fouls that were called, 'called' being the operative word, on 1 player was no accident. I call it a concerted effort.

[@michelleanyaehie9089]

its not all about image maybe she is actually a good person and does not see the game as all this drama like yall and is here to play the eye poke was an accident it happens

[@noragriffin6432]

@@michelleanyaehie9089 She absolutely is a good person. In every sense. What has happened to her in her rookie season is totally foreign and utterly baffling to her. Because to treat someone like she has been treated is not in her nature. And I pray it never is. I watched that game on t.v. like I did all season. Because I worked in the eyecare field all my life, I watched her very closely after the incident. I realized she had not been seriously injured. But..... she was changed, not herself. I summit to you that for the first time she was truly afraid. She saw her life and career flash before her eyes. And no, I am not being overly dramatic. Some things you will not learn in books, but only through experience and living life. I am pushing towards my 7th decade of life. A lot of experience there. No one should promote this kind of behavior, especially on young people. It is not a path to positive change, but only destruction.

What I'm surprised about is, nobody talks about the staggering cost to the league, if Carrington had succeeded in ending Clark's career. Clark brought all this newfound popularity to the league -- the sold-out venues, the merch sales, the TV ratings, the millions it's pumped into the local economies, the elevation of the sport beyond its wildest dreams... POOF -- all gone. That's why Carrington should have been kicked out of the league -- look at what she almost did. Instead, all she got was famous.

[@morganhill7711]

[@daithi1966]

I'm a CC fan, but I strongly disagree with her on the reporter asking about the eye poke. Especially after seeing the skit Carrington posted about getting poked in the eye later with one of CC's teammates. What a POS Smith is for participating in that. No, sorry, I think there is a very good chance it was done on purpose, and 100% certain that given the same facts but in the NBA that multiple reporters would have been trying to get answers.

[@pfpchad2747]

If someone poked Curry in the eye, it would be a big thing and the poker would have to defend himself. That being said, I think people need to stop trying to defend Caitlin so much.

[@marceybull]

Yes! This! ... She doesn't want to be treated like a little girl who needs protecting -- she just wants to hoop! Which is kinda what makes her so awesome!

Still Not sure why CC keeps denying it was on purpose? I wish she would just admit the abuse(although she did say she was getting hit much more than other players and was being targeted)

The denials by Dijonnaise are the real problem, and then her and her girlfriend post a BS eye poke video. I wish she would just call out the BS. I guess she felt it was better to try to let it die

[@Antonio-w2x-b9u]

Look she cannot lie good. First, she was supposed to be trying to slap the balls, folding her folding fingers, you're taking away 3 inches of and if you hit the ball there a chance of breaking your finger. That fold of is very unnatural. And hitting her then she pushed her to the floor, that was a that was foul also. The the film frame by frame makes it so obvious she look right at her in the swing, plus the ball was already passing her head. When her hand hit her she or anyone would know instantly know. That was a foul also both wear in the air. Make a rule about to charge the player pay for all of damage and loss of money to the team for fragrant 2. That the owner loss of revenue.

Number one we all know it pretty well was on purpose, especially after Carrington did that video with her girlfriend that place for the fevers and marked it we all know it was done on purpose. To me, Clark took the higher ground and said what she said in here if I was in her spot, I would too cause I’m like thinking I’m here to play basketball. I don’t want the drama or add anymore to the drama or play into peoples has to try to cause more problems. I do not blame Clark for wanting to take her time off. I would do the same thing if I was in her shoes so I could work in the gym and build myself up and have a little time off specially when I played basketball for almost complete year and didn’t have any time off I’d want a little time off to decompress before my next season of basketball starts and like she said, it gives her time to work in the gym and to work out by herself and other people that will help her to better herself in area. She knows she needs to get a little better in.
