The hits just keep coming!
On Thursday night, the Indiana Fever played the WNBA Wings in Dallas.
And, once the WNBA refs allowed the league’s first superstar to be tackled and mugged on the court.
The attacks last night were particularly vicious.
At one point in the game Fever star Caitlin Clark was tackled on the basketball court.
Momentum? Caitlin was very clearly tackled! She’s trying to run towards the pass while Sims pulls her to the ground! pic.twitter.com/UxKM99wiQR

Note from the author: In my own personal experience, As a longtime basketball player and former NBA HoopItUp Street Ball Champion, I can tell you I HAVE NEVER seen a player tackled on a basketball court.
There may have been rough play and fights, but never a football tackle!
And, of course, the refs did not call a foul on the play!
What is wrong with this crazy league?
Unfortunately, that was not the only violence Caitlin endured during the game. The WNBA phenom was held, hit in the neck, and mugged on virtually every play. And the refs turned a blind eye!
Pulling a players arm like that when in full motion is dangerous @CaitlinClark22 is being attacked and refs should be aware but the whistle is stuck only against her pic.twitter.com/t6FSdMwPV5

Benjamin Brown has a collage of the hits Caitlin took last night.
This is every single game!
The announcer said Odyssey Sims tripped… but WNBA announcers can be hard to trust. 🤔
After Caitlin Clark was getting hit all night, was that tackle really an accident or just another day of Caitlin getting beat up with no call? 👀#CaitlinClark #IndianaFever #WNBA… pic.twitter.com/wSgxDZbf62
