Cheddney Carter, the woman who hip checked Clark has a bit of a history.


"In July of 2021, she was suspended for 'conduct detrimental to the team'. According to reports around the time the suspension was issued, Carter got into an argument with another player on the Dream - Courtney Williams - who asked her to 'improve her attitude' during a game.

After the game ended, Carter went up to Williams in the locker room telling her she wanted to fight. Once that request for an altercation was denied, Carter backed away. She did not play for the Dream again.

For the 2022 season, Atlanta traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks where she didn't get much playing time - averaging just 16 minutes a game and playing in only 24 contests.

She was waived in March of 2023. It was revealed by the Los Angeles Times that Carter had been benched the previous season due to 'poor conduct'. It was further reported that interim coach Fred Williams benched Carter for four games due to a 'coaches decision'."



Anyways...this should of been squashed days ago, but Carter was still yapping on Instagram and Twitter.

The Sky coach finally responded today after first calling it a basketball play. Responding today aka 2 days late and $5,000 short, for the team. And $1,000 dollars short for Angel Reese. Angel was fined for failing to make herself available to the media for interviews following the game vs Indiana.

The Sky organization was fined $5,000 for failing to ensure that all players comply with WNBA media policies.

The best part in all of this is, I assume some other poster is only going off on this Clark discourse because I responded to what McGarnagle said. Luckily we're both on ignore so its cancels and works itself out. But the poster assumes I'm probably doing something they don't like, so they're responding to it.

That foul was bs on Clark. That's a fact. It's not a basketball play. It didn't happen in play. It was bush league, by a player who is jealous and not a good teammate. Hence why she's on her 3rd team.


If they were both fighting for space, trying to get the ball, etc thats fair game. But EVERYONE who watches is saying this wasn't a good. Nobody is saying you can't touch Clark. These rookies have been getting attacked this year. Clark gets hurt? Your money and your ratings will go down. That's a fact.

I think the only way to stop the flagrant fouls against her is to actually ask the other players why they are committing these types of fouls. Perhaps she's saying stuff behind the scenes? (I doubt it but you never know).

My guess is that it has to do with the fact that some of these women have been busting their asses to keep the league afloat as well as fight for simple things like better accommodations, practice facilities, better pay ect. and in walks Clark and it is like she is the only player worth anything. Some may be pure jealousy but I be a lot of the issues stem from how they are perceived. It isn't a Clark issue but it would be nice to see her push back on the media and those who put her on a pedestal.

I 100% think there's some jealousy there, but unless she's actively going something to any of the other players or teams the cheap shot stuff is beyond bush league.

Funny thing is it's probably helping the league right now because it's drawing extra attention to it, but if she gets hurt they'll all be poorer. Nose/face/spite.

Mother of Christ it’s a foul

The f*** is happening to the world

You know, other than a humanity-wide complete lack of self esteem that has always been there but can now be treated with the drug known as social media

God I’m exhausted

Give CC a full offseason and she is going to destroy that league. The Uconn Alums are just mad Geno didn't recruit her.
I can't wait til she starts elbowing back. It'll come. Right now she's focused on hooping. I get it. But, you gotta stick up for yourself.

had a thought and it seemed cool to me - what if Boston takes back Rob after Al retires as a reclamation project

Right after MIT develops bionic body parts?

Anything's possible . Rob is that tantalizing guy who will likely continue to get chances for years to come even if he is never healthy, because he has flashed. Although at some point you would expect the raw tools will start to decline

If you are expecting it in the short term, i think Portland is going to want value in return, or they'll just wait for him

Had work put on NY vs Chicago WNBA yesterday. 1st half was excruciating and hard to follow.
It wasn't a great game at all. The officials are REALLY bad this year. Which is saying something because they've been terrible for the last decade. Angel Reese getting tossed for literally nothing had me laughing.
