New Footage Sparks Outrage Over Missed Fouls on Caitlin Clark

A fresh firestorm has erupted in the WNBA after new video angles showed Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark enduring multiple uncalled fouls in a heated game against the Chicago Sky. Fans and analysts alike are calling it “one of the most blatant officiating failures” in recent memory.

The Missed Call That Started It All

During the second half, Clark was seen attempting to drive past Chicago’s Tahena Pow, only to be grabbed, held, and dragged—without a single whistle. The new footage reveals Pow grabbing Clark’s jersey and locking her hip, halting her momentum. Slow-motion replays show Clark’s arm being held as she tried to break free.

“Any extension by Clark was clearly a reaction to being fouled, not an offensive push-off,” noted one analyst.

Social Media and League Fallout

Hashtags like #ProtectCaitlin and #WNBARefWatch trended for hours as fans demanded answers. Analysts and former players slammed the officiating, calling it a “disgrace to the game.”

“If the WNBA wants to grow, it must protect its stars,” said an ESPN commentator.

League Responds—But Is It Enough?

The WNBA promised an internal review, but critics say trust has already eroded. Some demand suspensions or retraining for officials.

Clark’s Poise, Coach’s Fury

Clark remained composed, stating, “I know it’s a physical league—I just keep fighting.” Her coach, however, pulled no punches:

“We need better officiating. Our players deserve fairness.”

As pressure mounts, one thing is clear: the spotlight on WNBA referees has never been brighter.
