The Phoenix Mercury, a WNBA team, is facing backlash for allegedly mocking an injury that was sustained by Indiana Fever player Caitlin Clark during a Wednesday game […]
The tension in the Women's National Basketball Association is boiling over as star player Caitlin Clark continues to take what many commentators are describing as targeted abuse.The Indiana Fever guard has been increasingly critical of the WNBA's officiating while opposing teams have continued their physical play against her.'She is not being treated with any sort of respect.'Clark recently complained about getting "a technical [foul] for clapping" (again), and added, "We should all just go on the calendar now and pick a game that I'm going to be suspended for if I'm going to get technicals for clapping."While the 24-year-old's "emotion" and "passion"-fueled play may contribute to her rough treatment, the league seems ready to explode over recent incidents with her involving physical altercations.On Monday, Clark narrowly avoided an elbow to the face from Phoenix Mercury player Alyssa Thomas, which resulted in a review in which officials still found Clark guilty of a foul.Then again on Wednesday against the Mercury, things took a turn when Thomas seemingly pushed her fist into Clark's throat while she was on the ground, but no foul was called during the game. This — and another incident that reportedly injured Clark's back and resulted in a foul for the Mercury — seemed to be the final straw and set off a firestorm in the league, starting with Clark's coach, Stephanie White."The fist in the throat is crazy," White said after the game. "It's crazy. It's dangerous.""We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar who had two cheap shots right there that weren't called. And I just say again, absolutely unacceptable," the coach yelled.RELATED: Jason Whitlock: Nike and the WNBA fumbled the Caitlin Clark phenomenon - YouTube Sports media broadcasters did not bite their tongue after the fouls, either.Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy shared a clip of the dangerous foul and asked, "What are we even doing here?""Brutal cheap shot. These women would still be flying commercial without Caitlin and this is how she is treated. Insane," Portnoy said, referring to the WNBA players getting chartered flights in 2024, Clark's first season in the league.Former NFL MVP Boomer Esiason said after the foul that Clark should "seriously consider" going to play in a different league. Esiason claimed she would get "the royal treatment" if she went elsewhere."I think that there's a petty, petty jealousy, and she's a straight white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect," Esiason added.RELATED: 'Just follow the money': NFL doctor reveals why so many players are getting injured - YouTube At the same time, legendary Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd accused the WNBA of "driving into a wall at full speed with Caitlin Clark."Cowherd pointed out that a brand-new poster put out by the league commemorating 30 years of history did not include Clark on it. The poster featured Angel Reese, who came into the league the same year as Clark, as well as Paige Bueckers, a rookie.On Thursday afternoon, the WNBA announced it was giving Thomas a flagrant foul 2 for making contact with Clark's throat, ESPN reported. This came with a one-game suspension.Despite praising the league and its diversity in 2024, Clark has continued to be snubbed by women's basketball. She was even passed for the women's USA basketball roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics.Clark also only finished fourth in MVP voting for the WNBA in 2024.Like Blaze News?

CNN's Harry Enten shrieked in mock terror at President Donald Trump's abrupt about-face on signing a bipartisan affordable-housing bill to knuckle down on his bill to impose new restrictions on voting.The 80-year-old president caught lawmakers and staffers off guard by announcing just over an hour before the signing ceremony that he would not add his signature to the law until Congress passed his SAVE America Act, and the chief data analyst told "CNN News Central" that Republicans are likely horrified."You know, if I was a Republican member of Congress and I am listening to President Trump, the only words that enter my mind are, 'Oh God, oh God, no, what are you doing?'" Enten wailed. "That is because the issue has not gone away at all. Google searches for affordability, look at this, up 500 percent this week versus the pre-2026 average. In fact, they reach, you have it going across the top of your screen, reach an all-time ... high this week. So no, the issue of affordability is not going away.""There is a reason why Republicans wanted this legislation not just passed," he added, "but signed into law by the president of the United States, because this this is the issue, of course, that got Donald Trump elected in the first place, and they want to be able to give their voters something the are members of Congress something so that the voters, perhaps you know, don't vote them out of office come November."Host John Berman marveled at the finding about searches for affordability hitting an all-time high and questioned Trump's decision to abandon the housing bill for now, and Enten slammed the move."Great politics," Enten said, sarcastically."President Trump got elected to bring down inflation, got elected to fix the economy, in the voters' mind," Enten continued, "and do they think he's keeping his campaign promises? No, no, no, no, oh God, no, Trump kept his 2024 campaign promises. You know, you go back to April of 2025 among voters. The bare majority, but a majority nonetheless, 52 percent said yes, 47 percent said no, that 52 percent down to the ground now. Now it's 40 percent, while that percentage said no, it's up now it's the clear majority, 55 percent say that Trump is not keeping his campaign promises.""So when he is off yesterday, not signing that bill to help bring down, make housing more affordable, instead talking about the SAVE Act, this is what they're talking about, President Trump taking his eyes off the ball and not keeping his 2024 campaign," Enten added. - YouTube youtu.be
The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board bashed President Donald Trump's latest legislative "mish-mosh" that came to a boil on Wednesday. Trump abruptly canceled a bill-signing ceremony for the overwhelmingly popular 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to force lawmakers to pass his SAVE America Act, a less popular piece of legislation that would fundamentally reshape how American elections are conducted. The move caught several Republicans by surprise, some of whom still showed up to the ceremony because they had not been notified of the cancellation. The WSJ editors took Trump to task in a new editorial. "Mercury, thy name is Donald Trump," the editorial reads in part. "If he wants to kill Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s housing masterpiece, fine by us. But his election bill has no chance of passing either way," it added. The editors added that they were not fond of Trump's housing bill anyway, arguing it wouldn't lower housing costs as many Americans hope. The abrupt cancellation happened at a time when the cost of living is the top concern for voters as the 2026 midterm elections approach. "We’re glad to see the President has come around to our criticism of the housing bill, which will do more to augment federal control over housing than to make homes more affordable. Many of the bill’s mish-mosh of 50-some provisions expand federal grant programs that his own Administration has tried to kill," the editorial argued. The editors added that Trump will likely back down from his threat and leave the mess empty-handed. "Mr. Trump will probably sign the housing bill eventually, but don’t expect it to make much difference in the elections. As Mr. Trump said, interest rates matter more," they wrote.
The National Republican Congressional Committee mocked the establishment wing of the Democratic Party after the far-left socialist victories in New York City elections.Three socialist candidates backed by Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani crushed their centrist opposition and tipped the scales in the party toward more extremism.'How can he defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts?'The NRCC sent flowers and a card expressing condolences to the Washington, D.C., office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)."Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called 'Leader' Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party," said NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella in a statement to Fox News.The card read "With heartfelt sympathy," according to a photo posted by Bill Melugin of Fox.Jeffries' Republican counterpart, Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, reiterated how bad the losses were in a media briefing where he pointed out that many Democrat voters booed Jeffries and chanted that he was next."These are socialists. These are Marxists in their ideology," said Johnson."Hakeem Jeffries has a tall task ahead of him right now, he's gotta go out and somehow make a credible pitch to Democrat establishment donors that that's a good national investment right now, that's a tough one to make," he added."He has just proven that he cannot even hold the line in his own back yard," Johnson said. "How can he possibly defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts? This is not your father's Democratic Party, as we see all the time."RELATED: Hunter Biden wants Democrats to learn EXTREME lesson from NYC elections "The Democrat Party — the socialists, the Marxists — have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they're running for Congress. The insurgent left is on the rise."Others, like Hunter Biden, say the results of the elections show that Democrats need to veer to the far left and be far more socialist and far more extremist. "The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led," Biden said. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, replied: "America the Beautiful will NEVER be a communist Country!"Like Blaze News?
