Exclusive:Chennedy Carter’s B**** Attack on Caitlin Clark Ridiculed by US Legend Lindsey Vonn: “Shouldn’t Be Targeted”
Last night the WNBA match between Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever drew a lot of limelight for a different season. The close fight ended by the Fever’s side as they defeated the Chicago Sky 71-70. However, the debate centered on Chennedy Carter’s foul against Caitlin Clark during the game. Caitlin, the Indiana Fever rookie, had remained numb after facing the shoulder shot and a ‘B****’ slang from the Chicago Sky guard. But soon she found a lot of voices protesting against the foul play from Chennedy Carter. Lindsey Vonn also came out as one.
After proving her mettle in the NCAA, Caitlin Clark shifted to WNBA a few months ago. Since her stepping into the fold, the 22-year-old baller turned the limelight towards her as several NIL ventures had chased her in the WNBA. Soon, her purse filled with a whopping $3.1 million NIL deal. Companies like Gatorade, Goldman Sachs, and Nike lined up for Caitlin Clark with their deals. Ultimately, such a thorough influx of money improved the WNBA form, as Lindsey Vonn thinks.
In relishing the current situation in the WNBA, Lindsey Vonn said, “The excitement about women’s sports has hit this tipping point almost. It’s been happening for a long time, so I hope we can keep this momentum going.” Furthermore, the former world champion expects many more feats such as Caitlin Clark does in the arena to increase the popularity of the sport. She thoroughly believes in the lines, “women in sports is a movement, not a moment.” In such a moment, Caitlin Clark is the most glowing name to initiate the movement. Again, Lindsey Vonn proved her support for the rookie. Now, the onus is on the WNBA to take the further call.
