Chennedy Carter was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons thanks to her foul on the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and despite refusing to comment on it, she’s still finding her way to take shots at her rival who she left crumpled on the floor.
The incident came in the third quarter of the Fever’s 71-70 win over the Chicago Sky when Clark and Carter exchanged words on an offensive play by the Fever, before Carter responded by adding two points back for the Sky very quickly after.
Caitlin Clark is the victim of foul play; Angel Reese’s viral reaction sparks speculation: Does she really hate her?
Then, instead of jogging back to defend her own side of the court, she shouted something at the 22-year-old, approached her from behind and charged her to the ground in what was only called a “common foul” by the referees, despite being obviously fragrant.
Post-game, Carter refused to comment on the incident before she then posted that she is fuelled by the hate on Instagram and now she’s been observed liking posts bigging herself up following the foul, something she’s now being criticized for too.
Posts show her liking a serious of posts on X.com, formerly Twitter, from her own personal account of the few people actually celebrating how she treated Clark. One account even went as far to suggest she faked the foul for pity.
“Stop bumping them mf gums then, found the right one lol,” another post read, blaming Clark for causing the incident to begin with.
“Put Caitlin lil a** in the basket. Caitlin dont want that smoke with Chennedy Carter #chicagosky,” a third liked post said.
How have people reacted?
There has been a wave of disgusted reaction to Carter’s foul, which happened without the ball even being in play, with Draymond Green calling for the Fever to finally begin to protect Clark by hiring an enforcer.
Tactical fouling against her and being overly physically has been a method regularly deployed by the WNBA’s players to try to keep her offensive output under control, but what Carter did was nothing of the sort, leaving people calling for the league to intervene.
“WNBA has to step in and do something to stop this,” Kyle Huesmann, an established women’s basketball journalist, posted on X.com. “You can’t have players publicly showing that they don’t care that they took a cheap shot at a player.”
