I admit I like Clark for what I have seen in her public statements, maturity and professionalism. Honestly, I don’t get all the hype about her either. Seemed like outsized publicity , but she did set an NCAA record, so maybe that’s it. Or maybe it’s because Iowa got to the finals for 2 consecutive years and fans got to see her play a lot. Whatever it is, nothing excuses Carter.

Hard fouls, some of which are flagrant intentionally and accidentally are a part of the game. Shoving a player in the back when you are not in a crowd trying to to get a tip or a rebound is dirty and could be dangerous as the fouled player is not prepared for that kind of contact. I don’t know what Carter was thinking, but it doesn’t belong in competitive sports.

I hope the WNBA takes a hard line on this behavior. Frankly. I don’t watch certain NBA teams because they have players who repeatedly exhibit unsportsmanlike behavior. Wouldn’t want the WNBA to let this nonsense continue
