The WNBA's handling of star player Caitlin Clark has raised concerns about the league's ability to protect its players from physical abuse and harassment.
Clark's most recent game against the Phoenix Mercury was marred by a series of brutal fouls, including being tackled to the ground, punched in the neck, and kneed in the groin.
The repeated abuse of Clark has led many to question the league's officiating standards and its commitment to player safety.

The abuse Clark has suffered is a symptom of a larger problem within the league, one that sees her as a target for jealousy and retaliation from her opponents.
Clark's critics have been quick to defend her abusers, with some even going so far as to suggest that she is the one who is being abusive.
The media's handling of the situation has been criticized for its bias and lack of accountability, with some outlets going so far as to suggest that Clark is being unfairly targeted.
The situation has raised questions about the league's ability to protect its players and its commitment to fair and safe competition.
Clark's treatment by the league has been a source of concern for her fans and supporters, who are calling for greater action to be taken to protect her and other players from abuse.
