Breaking: Sheryl Swoopes Calls Caitlin Clark A “Bully” & Claims She Didn’t Really Break The NCAA Scoring Record In Hate-Filled Rant
WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes took issue with the discourse every time Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is fouled and pointed to what happened Sunday with Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
Reese clocked Clark on the head while Clark was driving to the basket for a lay-up. Reese was given a foul, and it was upgraded to a flagrant-1. It kick-started a firestorm across social media.

Can we keep playing basketball?
“My thing is, every time Caitlin gets fouled we can’t make it seem like she was assaulted. Fouling is a part of basketball. You can look at a whole lot of different games and players and clips…. A’ja Wilson when they played Dallas, A’ja had a bloody nose, a black eye. Like, it’s basketball.”
Swoopes then pointed to both Reese and Clark, saying the foul was just a basketball play.

And what did you do?”Reese maintained there was nothing more to the Clark foul.”I can’t control the refs, and they affected the game, obviously, a lot tonight,” Reese said after the game. “Y’all are probably going to play that clip like 20 times before Monday.”
“I think we went up really strong a lot of times and didn’t get a lot of calls,” Reese added. “Going back and looking, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made, I guess some people get a special whistle.”

“It is what it is, you know, she’s trying to make a play on the ball and get the block,” Clark said. “I mean it happens and then those free throws when you have to shoot with nobody at the line are kind of hard. So I was just focusing on making those free throws.
