Fans aren’t sure how to feel about Caitlin Clark’s latest technical foul. There are a lot of people out there who can’t stand the Fever star and have shown it on the court. In a replayed clip of the possession, it’s evident that Lynx player, Cecilia Zandalasini, grabbed Clark’s arm in what could have been a foul. However, when Clark swatted Zandalasini’s arm away and hit her in the face, the refs sided with Zandalasini. Still, the internet is divided over whether the refs made the right call.
Some agreed with the officials, believing Clark reacted to Zandalasini’s grab in an unprofessional manner. One person on X, formerly known as Twitter shared, “‘Contact to the face’ is such a nice way to put it for such nasty behavior.” Others couldn’t help but side with Clark, saying it was Zandalasini’s grab that should have been called out. One user wrote, “So Caitlin’s arm was being held. During that play clear as day but she gets a technical instead of a holding defense play. She is clearly swatting her arm off when Cecilia pretends it was more than it was.”
It seems that everything Clark does can become divisive on the internet, and this latest call is no different. But what does she have to say about the technicals she’s received?
