The Dream suspended Carter in 2021 for “conduct detrimental to the team.” for trying to fight her teammate Carters was cut by the sparks bc conflict with coach and none in the wnba picked her up the L.A. sparks would rather pay 87k to complete her contract than have her on the team and in training camp. then she went overseas and had issues there as well fast forward to 2024 now the sky have her and we see the results.. a all star lv player that is very problematic and it's always everyone else but never her lol... So yeah we know you...

[@Bigdaddyp32]

Sounds like the NBA

[@rayon3383]

I'm with you Kenny is bad news! Kenny taking Reese under her wing is not going to end well for Reese! She already has her own problems cuz she is always trying to out due Clark but she isn't even close to Clark's skill level and that's just facts, she can rebound and plays defense but people don't want to buy tickets to watch her do them 2 things cuz it's not entertaining! Also Angel does anything she can for attention like posting about herself several times a day. Not a hater but if she wouldn't have acted like she did after the championship game was over she would be just another 7 pick average rookie, honestly! But I pray she finds a different kind of friend than Kenny and stop worrying about Clark and her endorsements and popularity like selling out arenas!

[@cyve5024]

They didn’t even respond when Angel said nobody reported on when she was yoked up. They want players to use kid gloves with Caitlyn. They are intentionally overlooking everything Angel has done for this game. Give Angel and the other players, the same respect and love that y’all (the media), is showering Caitlyn with.

Ms Carter why don't you check your stats when you were a rookie, check the viewership you brought to the wnba when you were a rookie. Search deep in your soul only then you will get an answer. You are on one end of the spectrum of everything including professionalism and good sportsmanship, whilst CC is on the other end. Go figure which end.

[@marceybull]

Why did you not straight up ask why did you push another player down coming from behind them when the ball wasn't even in play? Why didn't they ask about this so-called punch she kept saying happened .... And Coach T-Spoon said earlier in the day that she and Carter talked about this and Carter understands that what she did was inappropriate even if in the heat of the moment .... I'm not hearing that here. I'm so bummed with Angel. Didn't really know anything about Carter except that she was playing an amazing game that night, and then ... ... this : ( She's had this stuff happen with two other teams and was traded and should start to understand she's a professional, and she's an adult now, not in high school or playing outside at the park ...

Angel makes a great point that the league should be consistent. If they retroactively give Chennedy a flagrant 1, then they need to return to other games with the same moves and do the same.

[@markpaez601]

but AT already got a flagrant 2? you want another flagrant 1 with that. so that's Flagrant 3 already... CC got fouled hard like twice from 2 storm players which has been no calls. and 1 from Chi - was called a COMMON FOUL rather than the correct FLAGRANT 2.

[@LaShellJones]

They 100% kept it real by all definitions in my opinion … did you watch the entire clip or just a few questions. Time and time again Carter took accountability, she shed light on the fact that the play before she was hit in the head and as a competitor she competes at the level bestowed upon her or harder and she realizes where she went wrong … it exactly is what it is and they clearly want to move on but the media continues to drag things on.

[@glenngallemit5470]

Whatever what happens on the previous play, it was a loosed ball…and because basketball is physical…somebody can be hit, but the intentional shove is not basketball at all…it is obviously a retaliation.

[@bv32ification]

@@LaShellJonesshe said she was a competitor. In what way is walking up on someone’s blind side, calling them a bitch, and hitting them, and then walking away being a competitor?

Carter: "Fans just not understanding me as a player..." Hmmm, let's see. "In July 2021, the Dream suspended Carter indefinitely for 'conduct detrimental to the team'. It was reported that before the suspension, Carter indicated she wanted to fight another Dream player who had asked her to improve her attitude during a game." Before she was suspended by the Dream, it was felt that " Carter does not have a long-term future in Atlanta because of her negative effect on the locker room." [ thenexthoops] Fast forward to March 2023 when Carter was with the LA Sparks: From the LA Times: "The Sparks waived guard Chennedy Carter on Friday, undoing one of the residual mistakes from the Derek Fisher era." Carter "was benched for poor conduct during the season." So maybe the fans have a little understanding... She does have talent. She was the 4th pick in 2020 and has some standout games on her resume. I'm not bashing her. For her sake I hope she channels her attitude and competitiveness in positive ways .

[@De_Sava]

@thinker5164 did a bunch of research, proud of yourself huh? You get to justify judging her😂

[@oceanscaper]

Chennedy graduated to lying now “if you’re going to punch first”….so an inadvertent elbow has become a premeditated punch. Reece’s lie is that a come from behind flagrant foul is competitiveness. Both should be selling cars.

[@brendonmcg8763]

This is so overblown. It wasn't even hard contact. A bit cheap cause the blindside...but it wasn't hard. Teammates still should have responded.

[@nighttrain7404]

You outed yourself by saying “there’s been great players here and it’s not just one player.” Y’all are thirsty and jealous and petty. Nobody cares to know about you Chennedy. You’re out of the league after Sept. bye bye. Newsflash. The fever only won 2 games but they’re the ONLY team selling out and getting high ratings consistently. It IS her and not you. Facts. So deal with it. Stop talking

Caitlin is soft and cries about everything. She wants a golden pass. The Big 10 refs spoiled her. No one is talking about Caitlin Clark's cheap shots in the NCAA when she pushed people down with no ref calls. The refs were right in front of the plays and let Clark score after offensively pushing someone down and scoring. Watch the UCONN and South Carolina final four game.

[@tightwindow6438]

I swear Carter is on drugs. Everyone else in the video are calm and give logical answers. Carter on the other hand is jumping around moving her body in 5 different directions. Something is wrong with that lady. In reality she's reacting like the drug street sellers that can't keep still. Maybe she has Terese Syndrome and if she does I apologize. Lets hope things work out for everyone concerned.
