Amy touched upon this this morning. There was a terrible no-call that occurred during the Indiana Fever-Phoenix Mercury game last night. Phoenix Forward Alyssa Thomas punched Clark in the throat. No whistle was blown:

This is an obvious flagrant 2, but the league is allowing Clark to be used as a punching bag. Even Indiana’s coach, Stephanie White, torched the league for letting this slide:

"Absolutely disrespectful. We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar who had two cheap shots right there that weren’t called," she said. "It's absolutely egregious, and utterly disrespectful. [Clark] is not called the same way as everybody else is called. The fist in the throat is crazy. It's crazy. It's dangerous."

Yet, that’s not the only indignity—Clark was left off the 30th anniversary cover of the WNBA. It’s not a screw-up, as Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese are on it. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd ripped into the league for being paranoid, weird, and insular:

Clark caused a massive attendance spike; they had to change venues for some games. She’s a generational talent, but she’s not gay or black, and that’s driving the woke crowd insane. 

The Fever lost 111-109.

UPDATE: Thomas has been suspended for a game for her foul on Clark, which, upon review, was upgraded to a flagrant two.
