A bold claim by Chris Brickley
Clark was the victim of a flagrant foul on a blindside check by Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter, while a member of the Connecticut Sun said it was “seat belt season” when Clark played against them.
But it goes both ways.
“Anyone that’s really good, or great, people are going to dislike, and people are going to love. That’s how life works,” Brickley said.

A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces made headlines just prior to the start of the WNBA season when she said that Clark being White was a “huge thing” in her popularity.
WNBA making headlines
But earlier this month, Wilson said the “energy” in the WNBA has shifted from gossip and making headlines to appreciation for the game.
“It’s a good vibe, it’s a good feel. People are just coming to see the product on the floor. It got a little too gossipy in the beginning, but then it started to fizzle out because people are starting to realize we’re really good at what we do, we’re elite at what we do. I love the energy now,” Wilson said after she went against Clark’s Indiana Fever. The two shared a hug after that game.
“People are seeing good hoops, and that’s what it’s about. We come out here, we work hard, we play basketball at a very high level, and people are believing in it, they’re trusting in it and investing in it. And that’s the energy we’re feeling right now,” Wilson continued.
Last month, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert shut down the notion that she was targeted, saying it seems that way due to her spotlight and that her treatment on the floor is similar to everyone else.
