Caitlin Clark led the Indiana Fever to a thrilling 71-70 victory over the Chicago Sky on Saturday to snap a three-game losing skid, yet the final score itself wasn’t even the biggest storyline of the game.
Rather, it was the controversy involving Caitlin Clark and Chicago star Chennedy Carter in the third quarter of the contest. After some back-and-forth chirping, Carter delivered a cheap shot on Clark late in the third quarter:
Carter’s shove on Clark was widely criticized across the WNBA. Although Carter was initially issued a foul on the court, the WNBA later assigned a flagrant foul after reviewing the play.
Amid all the controversy and backlash against Carter and the Sky, an old video clip of Caitlin Clark performing a similar cheap hot has resurfaced. The play occurred during the Iowa-Purdue Fort Wayne game on Nov. 24, with Clark delivering a shove on Mastodons guard Erin Woodson:
Clark and Iowa went on to win that game soundly 98-59, with the standout guard tallying 29 points and eight rebounds. The Hawkeyes reached the national championship game but wound up losing to the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Caitlin Clark Is Off To A Strong Start For Indiana
The Fever themselves are off to a slow start, needing a win over Chicago just to improve to 2-8 on the season. The good vibes were short-lived, however, as the Fever got crushed 104-68 against the New York Liberty on Sunday.
It looks like another long season is indeed ahead for the Fever, but the good news is that the first overall pick of 2024 has not disappointed in the slightest. Clark is off to a phenomenal start as a professional, averaging 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
Clark’s arrival has led to a massive boost in viewership and ticket sales across the WNBA. And fortunately for Fever fans, there is nowhere for this rebuilding team to go but up.
Female FSU Fan Is Trying To Expose Kirk Herbstreit For Cheating On His Wife Using Her College GameDay Sign

It doesn’t appear that Kirk Herbstreit will ever be forgiven by Florida State football fans.
An offseason of zero activity was not enough to cool them off as they wasted no time letting him know how they felt about him during ‘College GameDay’ this Saturday.
FSU and Georgia Tech are in Dublin, Ireland, for the first college football game of the season, and thousands of fans made the trip. One Seminoles fan is being lauded for perhaps having the best sign to make it to the crowd as she suggested that Herbstreit cheated on his wife by doing something carnal to the program.
Check it out below:
The popular sportscaster wasn’t allowed a moment’s peace on the show this Saturday as he was booed every time he opened his mouth. Chants of “F*** Kirk Herbstreit” also rang out on occasion.
Why Do FSU Fans Hate Kirk Herbstreit?
There is no love for Herbie at Florida State following what he had to say about their College Football Prospects last season. The ESPN regular was among those who claimed that the Seminoles didn’t belong in the playoffs despite their excellent, unbeaten season.
A 13-0 record and an ACC Championship weren’t enough to convince Kirk Herbstreit that the Seminoles were deserving of a shot in the CFP. And things went from bad to worse after quarterback Jordan Travis’ campaign was prematurely cut short by a devastating leg injury.
Herbstreit refused to back down from his take and even argued with FSU fans on social media, though he eventually offered an olive branch by asking for fans to give the program its flowers for their amazing season.
Clearly, no one cared for it.
