The worst league in sports history just took another hit. Caitlin Clark will not be back this year.
With the regular season nearly over, Caitlin Clark announced on Thursday evening that she will not return this season.
I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season. I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn’t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling. I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty. This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good. The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year. Now it’s time to close out the season and claim our spot in the Playoffs

Her injuries were too great. The worst league in sports history proved why no one watches their games and why they never make a profit (they are funded by the NBA).
The league finally had a chance. The had their golden goose and they ran it over. Rather than provide officiating that was fair and protected Clark, the league allowed women in the league to pull, push, hit, poke, hammer, and totally abuse Clark. The beatings and abuse took their toll. No one could have put up with what Clark endured.
Watching Clark’s games in the WNBA was not fun. Fans found themselves yelling at the refs and the league throughout her games. Clark was hammered and no foul. Clark complained and she received a technical foul. The WNBA is a bad joke.
Clark received the ESPY award for WNBA Player of the Year but it didn’t matter.

This award was way too late.
The WNBA went on to physically break Caitlin Clark. It appeared that they wanted to destroy their golden goose Caitlin Clark and they did.
The jealous and egotistical monsters in women’s basketball (and yes, many are sexist and racist too) hated Caitlin Clark, not because she was mean, or had a big ego, or was racist… they hated her because she was the greatest and they were not going to let her be that in their league. They were all jealous and hateful and still are.
But no matter what they did, they couldn’t stop her. Here is Clark scoring 9 points in less than a minute in a game earlier this year.

Clark, the greatest scorer and point producer when adding in points off of assists, was the best women’s basketball player in NCAA history. She crushed NCAA scoring records and she brought a fan base bigger than any woman’s basketball player in US history with her to the WNBA last year.
The below chart shows how Clark was in a league of her own when adding points scored and points off of assists together during her senior year at Iowa.
Unfortunately, the WNBA didn’t want her or welcome her. Clark suffered greatly in games in numerous ways. The below example is how the players and the refs abused Clark.
In this series, Clark was poked in the eye by the opposing player after grabbing and pulling Clark all game long. Then the opposing player assaulted her and pushed her. Clark tried to get away but another opponent punched Clark in the back and then another player crashed Clark to the floor. None of Clark’s teammates stood up for her when this happened.

The result of this exchange was a foul on the girl who slammed Clark on the floor, and a technical foul on Clark!
Here is evidence. Photos don’t lie. The finger pointing, the punch in the back and the push after she gets hit in the eye. And Caitlin Clark was given a technical on this non basketball play. https://t.co/f0vNJTMV1C pic.twitter.com/mtXNel01zz

The greatest shooter in the history of the game was pummeled by opposing players, game, after game, after game.

Clark was injured and missed the All-Star game. Clark had never missed a game since high school until this year in the WNBA.
Clark has already dealt with multiple injuries this season, missing 10 games in total — nine in the regular season and then the Commissioner’s Cup championship. She missed five games with a left quad strain and later sat out five more after injuring her left groin. This is uncharted territory for Clark, who did not miss any playing time for injury reasons at Iowa or during her WNBA rookie year.
While Clark was out earlier this season, the WNBA lost half its audience.
WNBA Panics as Attendance Collapses with Caitlin Clark Injury
Last year, the WNBA members on the Olympic Committee and the nasty coach of the WNBA’s Minnesota team (Cheryl Reeve), prevented Clark, the best player in the country from being on the Olympic team. It was the worst decision in Olympic history in decades. Clark could have brought so many more viewers to the game. But they kept her off the team.
Clark is a fighter. She handles all the challenges with grace. But her games became too difficult to watch because of the horrible players, refs, coaches and league.
Players pummeled the WNBA’s golden goose and they were rarely called for a foul. Clark touches someone and immediately gets called for a foul.

This is all on the worst league in world history. This happens all the time. It’s gotten to the point where basketball fans and fans of Caitlin Clark have had enough. It became too much to watch. It was like watching a boxer get pummeled with one hand tied behind his back.

The league’s front office, the coaches, the refs, the other players and her own teammates have been heartless, jealous and abusive to Clark who was the league’s savior.
Outrage bait fail. Why would a normal white woman spend her time running around with a bunch of sweaty black lesbians? How is it any surprise that they violently attack her? All sportsball is fake and gay but women’s sportsball is utter abomination.
