Caitlin Clark faces criticism after Indiana Fever loss to Phoenix Mercury

Following the Indiana Fever’s 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason suggested Caitlin Clark should consider leaving the WNBA for overseas opportunities. His remarks came a day after Clark tweaked her back in the game, which included a controversial incident where Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas struck her in the throat. Indiana coach Stephanie White criticized the officiating for not calling a flagrant foul. Esiason’s comments have sparked debate regarding the treatment Clark receives in the league and contain elements deemed provocative regarding race and respect.
