- On Thursday, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith cautioned that President Donald Trump could launch a federal investigation into the WNBA’s treatment of Caitlin Clark, supporting calls for a probe.
- Earlier this week, Sean McLean, former White House staffer, wrote in a Wall Street Journal column that `The league has fostered a hostile workplace for Ms. Clark through excessive fouling, targeting, and hostile comments from other players and owners.`
- Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has faced over 17 flagrant fouls—nearly double league average—and repeated hard fouls and cheap shots, reflecting a target on her back.
