Is there a go fund me to help out the victim yet? She's clearly being oppressed.

I do not really think mtmuley needs a Go Fund Me, but maybe. If we got enough, we could send him to a Fever game or three.

If fans said stuff I'm sure the "investigation" will show it, but that had nothing to do with Clark. But Reese can't make a hard foul and then get bent and play diva when it comes back around 3 seconds later, that just invites more BS. She should learn to let her play do the talking, but then everyone might stop paying attention because she's totally overrated.

It's easy to get 17 rebounds a game when 10 come from your own missed layups. MVP!!!!

No one else does it. I don't understand why people need to put her down. She plays intensely because she wants to win and she's damn good.

40% last season on 2pt fgs is not "damn good". Especially for a post player.
edit to add: for context, Clark is a guard, and was 53% on 2pt fgs last season......

Good grief. There's a whole bunch more to basketball than shooting percentage. Even I know that. Oh, well, I guess you are going to be just another disparager in the crowd.

nah - @LuketheDog sums it up pretty well.
Cheap shot shove in the back. Get fouled on a routine foul to prevent a layup (only a 40% chance she actually makes it). Then cause a big stir and show. Call me a disparager or call me for seeing what it is, an act.

There is a history going back to their college days. Clark is not above talking a bit of smack, after she makes a play. This is SO common with basketball at every level, wherever it is played. Within the contest between the teams, every player is also locked into an individual contest. You are literally bumping up against one another. Trading words is ubiquitous.
Clark is a transcendent talent. Reese is not. Reese is a tall strong woman whose coordination is pretty poor. Some of her misses are hard to watch. At a much lower level, I was a Reese type of player. I was a good rebounder and mediocre shooter. But, I never threw up bricks like that.
Last year, the WNBA players delivered many hard, at times, dirty fouls on Clark. The Chicago Sky were about the worst about that. The foul this past weekend was not a dirty play. It was a hard foul, to force a player to score from the line. It did not deserve to be a flagrant foul.

I wish I could take back the countless hours watching adults play games. How we got sucked into considering that as being entertainment is mind boggling

Silly flop by Reese. Was a foul by Clark. Was not a cheap foul. Was a basketball play. NBA-style play by Clark. Clark did not undercut Reese. No elbow to the jaw. Did not push from behind. Did not plant a foot where Reese would land on it.
Clark was using a foul to stop a likely layup though Reese misses a lot of layups. Reese was a 44.5% shooter from under 5’ of the basket last season. Giannis in NBA was 73.4% this season.
NBA flagrant foul for comparison:
