Caitlin Clark gets fist to the throat as WNBA primed to explode: 'She's a straight white basketball player'



The tension in the Women's National Basketball Association is boiling over as star player Caitlin Clark continues to take what many commentators are describing as targeted abuse.

The Indiana Fever guard has been increasingly critical of the WNBA's officiating while opposing teams have continued their physical play against her.

'She is not being treated with any sort of respect.'

Clark recently complained about getting "a technical [foul] for clapping" (again), and added, "We should all just go on the calendar now and pick a game that I'm going to be suspended for if I'm going to get technicals for clapping."

While the 24-year-old's "emotion" and "passion"-fueled play may contribute to her rough treatment, the league seems ready to explode over recent incidents with her involving physical altercations.

On Monday, Clark narrowly avoided an elbow to the face from Phoenix Mercury player Alyssa Thomas, which resulted in a review in which officials still found Clark guilty of a foul.

Then again on Wednesday against the Mercury, things took a turn when Thomas seemingly pushed her fist into Clark's throat while she was on the ground, but no foul was called during the game. This — and another incident that reportedly injured Clark's back and resulted in a foul for the Mercury — seemed to be the final straw and set off a firestorm in the league, starting with Clark's coach, Stephanie White.

"The fist in the throat is crazy," White said after the game. "It's crazy. It's dangerous."

"We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar who had two cheap shots right there that weren't called. And I just say again, absolutely unacceptable," the coach yelled.

Sports media broadcasters did not bite their tongue after the fouls, either.

Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy shared a clip of the dangerous foul and asked, "What are we even doing here?"

"Brutal cheap shot. These women would still be flying commercial without Caitlin and this is how she is treated. Insane," Portnoy said, referring to the WNBA players getting chartered flights in 2024, Clark's first season in the league.

Former NFL MVP Boomer Esiason said after the foul that Clark should "seriously consider" going to play in a different league. Esiason claimed she would get "the royal treatment" if she went elsewhere.

"I think that there's a petty, petty jealousy, and she's a straight white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect," Esiason added.

At the same time, legendary Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd accused the WNBA of "driving into a wall at full speed with Caitlin Clark."

Cowherd pointed out that a brand-new poster put out by the league commemorating 30 years of history did not include Clark on it. The poster featured Angel Reese, who came into the league the same year as Clark, as well as Paige Bueckers, a rookie.

On Thursday afternoon, the WNBA announced it was giving Thomas a flagrant foul 2 for making contact with Clark's throat, ESPN reported. This came with a one-game suspension.

Despite praising the league and its diversity in 2024, Clark has continued to be snubbed by women's basketball. She was even passed for the women's USA basketball roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Clark also only finished fourth in MVP voting for the WNBA in 2024.

Christian fan says she was ejected from Detroit Tigers game over pro-Jesus shirt: 'I have the right to wear that'



A woman says she was treated like a criminal at a Detroit Tigers game because she was wearing a shirt that expressed her faith.

The incident happened on June 19 during a game between the Tigers and Chicago White Sox, where fan Paige Combs-Morgan was seen in the seats behind home plate.

'Put it down, shut off the recording.'

Combs-Morgan told New Media Detroit that she was escorted out of Comerica Park in Detroit after staff told her the message on her shirt was offending other fans.

A video showed Combs-Morgan in the front row behind home plate — typically the most expensive seats — moving left and right with her arms out while wearing a hoodie that read, "Jesus Over Pride."

In a self-shot video, Combs-Morgan can be heard saying, "They’re kicking me out because of my shirt," as she is being escorted through the halls of the stadium.

"We have received a couple complaints," a staff member can faintly be heard telling her.

After entering what appears to be a security office, one individual can be heard telling Combs-Morgan to “put your phone down,” before saying, “We’re not going to tape this.”

"Put it down, shut off the recording," a man is heard saying.

The woman told the Detroit outlet that multiple police officers and stadium representatives escorted her out of the stadium after that.

"They acted like I committed a crime for existing there," she claimed.

The Tigers organization said that Combs-Morgan's ejection was not over her shirt; it was due to her conduct.

"We received several complaints from fans seated behind home plate during Friday's game, who reported another fan's behavior as being disruptive to their ballpark experience," the team said in a statement to Blaze News.

The team said that Combs-Morgan not only made "frequent walks and poses" across the front row of seats in camera-visible areas that obstructed the view of others, but she was warned by staff that "she would be ejected if the behavior continued," as it violated Tigers' stadium rules.

The team pointed to their code of conduct, which contains the following directive: "Guests should refrain from any action that disrupts other guests' enjoyment of the game."

The Tigers spokesman concluded, "She was later escorted from the ballpark because the behavior persisted, and not because of her attire."

The ball club provided multiple images of the fan making gestures in the 2nd and 6th inning, seemingly showing her making waving motions with her arms.

This was is in addition to video that showed Combs-Morgan walking across the front row of seats with drinks in her hands.

In her interview with New Media Detroit, Combs-Morgan told the host she did walk to the bathroom and "made my shirt known, but just like everybody else does when they want to make a point."

As for her inspiration, Combs-Morgan said she took issue with the MLB's warning to San Francisco Giants pitchers who wrote Bible verses on their caps and said these types of protests only seem to be an issue when they are supportive of Christianity.

"I have the right to wear that. And just like everybody else, like everyone else flaunts whatever they believe in, but you don't see people wearing anything about religion because this is exactly what happens," the fan stated.

She continued, "And I got kicked out not because of how I was acting in any sort of way. I was told specifically by two people that I was offensive for wearing that shirt."

"I completely got kicked out because it offended people," she added, contradicting the Tigers organization.

Combs-Morgan also said she felt the organization was trying to "intimidate" her and did not want her to "talk about my rights."

'Just follow the money': NFL doctor reveals why so many players are getting injured



An NFL doctor sees all sorts of injuries in the world's top athletes, with one physician pointing to a new, scary trend that is taking hold of the sports world.

Experts are now saying that the body cannot take what modern athletes are now routinely putting themselves through, and unfortunately, it's not slowing down.

'It can be a big moneymaker.'

The trend is an ever-growing level of exposure to sports, starting at a young age, that has resulted in near-insurmountable recurring body trauma. Dr. Brad Bellard, a team physician for the Denver Broncos, says he and others are constantly trying to adapt to devastating injuries popping up in young athletes.

"I don't see it changing any time soon. We're working around it," Bellard told Blaze News.

The level of consistent competition children are engaging in through youth sports is aging their bodies at a rate never before seen, Bellard revealed.

"Right now in my clinic, I have patients who are 15 years old whose patellar tendon, which is very important in terms of being able to jump, is worn out, probably to the level of [an] NBA veteran," the physician explained.

Year-round sports and the so-called "youth sports industrial complex" have created an ecosystem that Bellard says is driven by both profit and an inability to tell young athletes when enough is enough.

"Just follow the money. Right?" Bellard explained. "It can be a big moneymaker."

The doctor continued, "As long as the incentive is to get the people playing as much as they possibly can, it's gonna be tough. And that's just me being very real."

Physicians are focused on educating coaches, parents, and athletes at every turn these days, while encouraging youngsters to play a variety of different sports and utilize different workouts. These efforts are accomplishing only so much, Bellard revealed, which is why so many are now screaming from the rooftops about young ballplayers overworking their muscles, ligaments, and joints.

"That's the best we got so far," he revealed.

These problems should be dealt with at the youth level, but as Dr. Bellard explained, there is a whole new set of issues once an athlete does make it to the pro level. Not only are modern athletes more likely to come into the pros with serious knee, shoulder, ankle, or other problems that weren't nearly as prevalent in the past, there exists the issue of telling a superstar that sheer iron will cannot save him from injury.

Blaze News asked Bellard about legendary former NBA forward Dennis Rodman and how he was able to make a career out of partying every night while not missing a step when it came to game time.

With five NBA championships, Bellard said Rodman is an example of an athlete new pros look at and say he "was able to do this," so why can't I?

Despite Rodman's "suboptimal training techniques," Bellard said while laughing, his "off-the-court activities" proved he was an exception, not the rule. This is a concept that many players are having a trouble grasping.

For every seemingly cartilage-less player Bellard has seen who can still inexplicably jump into the rafters, there are dozens of examples of athletes who can't perform through such injuries.

Bellard said he does feel some personal responsibility when he can't help athletes achieve their goals, but he believes it is his job to keep echoing how they can try to avoid such devastating damage.

"It means something to me to be able to help these athletes achieve their goals, get back to the field of play," Bellard said candidly. "I'd say it's somewhat tough whenever they can't."

Jason Whitlock: Nike and the WNBA fumbled the Caitlin Clark phenomenon



When Caitlin Clark was breaking records, packing arenas, and transforming women’s basketball into a national sensation, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock thought it was an appropriate time to drop a Nike shoe for the star.

Instead, the sportswear giant waited until Clark’s third WNBA season to launch one.

“Looks like a sharp shoe. But the timing of when they’re releasing, now, when Caitlin Clark’s popularity is at the lowest it’s been since 2022. Caitlin Clark starting her junior year of college started to become a force of nature,” Whitlock says.

“And by the time she got to her senior year in college, by the time she got to the national championship game her senior year, the ratings for women’s college basketball went through the roof. They set records, unprecedented records,” he continues, adding, “Caitlin Clark had arrived.”


However, despite taking the WNBA to a new level, she was never rewarded.

“No Nike shoe her senior year in college. No Nike shoe when she’s a rookie in the WNBA. No Nike shoe when she’s coming into her second season in the WNBA after setting the league on fire. No shoe then,” Whitlock says, pointing out that now she finally gets her shoe the same year “they’re struggling to sell out the arena in Indiana.”

“They missed the Caitlin Clark window, and they’ve undermined Caitlin Clark, and Caitlin Clark has undermined herself,” he continues, explaining that it should be examined why they “fumbled” her.

“It’s the alphabet mafia. It’s the LGBTQIA+, BLM,” he adds.

Whitlock points to the “sexual and racial politics that have been injected into all of corporate America” as the aggressor but notes that Clark fell for it as well.

“Caitlin Clark being a white, heterosexual woman, a tiny bit reluctant to bend the knee to the alphabet mafia, but she did bend the knee,” he says.

“But she didn’t have the complexion or the right sexual desires for Nike and for the alphabet crew. She didn’t have the right sexual arousal. She didn’t have the right skin color,” he continues, adding, “And so, Nike blew a golden opportunity.”

MLB says warning Christian players was a mistake — but confirms 2 teams are allowed to push Pride propaganda



Major League Baseball says it was wrong to issue warnings to San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on their caps.

Specifically, Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker were threatened with discipline after writing different forms of Genesis 9:12-16 on team caps that support transgenderism and other sexualities, with the league citing violations of its uniform policy.

'The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be.'

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) had sent a letter to the MLB on June 16 calling out the league for promoting Black Lives Matter in 2020 and becoming a "billboard" for political messaging, yet still issuing a warning to the Giants pitchers last week.

MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred responded to Hawley on Monday, who posted the letter online for all to see. In the text, Manfred revealed that the Giants' communication with players was "inadequate and not clear" regarding their option to wear Pride hats. He claimed that some players did not understand they had the option to wear the normal Giants cap instead.

The commissioner's office said "unfortunately" it issued a "routine oral warning" before it became aware of the Giants' "lapse in communication."

Players "should not be compelled to participate in a celebratory event ... if such participation would violate their sincere religious beliefs or values," Manfred told Hawley.

The MLB boss later confirmed, "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be."

In the same letter, Manfred revealed that only two teams are permitted to wear special gay-themed hats in games: the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite the league saying in 2023 that it would not permit clubs to utilize unauthorized hats, the clubs submitted special requests to have their Pride hats grandfathered in, and their requests were granted.

These "Pride Night" hats were justified by Manfred, who claimed it was because the cities have "some of the largest LGBTQ communities in the United States."

However, players are not required to wear them, as he previously stated.

The commissioner cited other "faith/religious-related games" and nights that "celebrate different ethnicities or nationalities" at MLB ballparks and said that the league "does not regulate these events, but also does not permit Clubs or players to utilize special uniforms/equipment for such games, or alter the uniform or equipment."

However, for 12 league-wide events, MLB teams are mandated by the head office to alter their uniforms. Those days are:

Mother's Day, Father's Day, Armed Forces Weekend, Play Ball Weekend, Memorial Day, Lou Gehrig Day, Independence Day, Hall of Fame Weekend, Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, September 11th, Jackie Robinson Day, and Roberto Clemente Day.

Manfred said the league has had "no significant complaints from fans or players for those days."

'He's my idol': Texas Rangers Father's Day celebration will bring you to tears



The Texas Rangers are pushing toward becoming the most family-oriented team in baseball.

Not only have the Rangers remained the sole annual holdout for Pride Night celebrations in the major leagues, this year they went above and beyond to celebrate fathers.

'I think there was a sense of love and respect that I got from him.'

The Rangers played to a 4-3 Father's Day win against the San Diego Padres on Sunday but put extra focus on the fathers on the team.

Rangers players and their many children lined up outside the dugout for the national anthem before the game, and the family-oriented promotions continued throughout the day.

Aside from bringing their kids onto the field, players participated in a video that talked about how their fathers motivated them and contributed to their lives and careers.

First to make remarks was pitcher Jacob deGrom, who said his father still plays catch with him in the offseason, continuing his dedication to his son's baseball path since he was a boy.

"My dad was willing to hit me as many grounders as I want, throw me as much batting practice as I want, and play catch as long as I wanted," deGrom recalled. "Once he got off work, pretty much it was we were going to play something till it was time to go inside and eat and go to bed."

Relief pitcher Jacob Latz said he idolizes his father for his drive and motivation.

"He's my idol," Latz plainly stated. "I don't think he's ever taken a nap in his life."

The 30-year-old continued: "Looking back on how far we've come and then, you know, just to have those moments, still being able to play catch with him at his age is pretty cool."

First baseman and slugger Jake Burger revealed his dad grew up working on a turkey farm in Southern Indiana, filling up buckets of feed for the turkeys.

"Every single morning at 5:00 a.m.," Burger explained.

Burger was born in Missouri but said his father carried over that work ethic and instilled it in him growing up.

"I think there was a sense of love and respect that I got from him, and that's how I want to exhibit it to my kids too."

The Rangers also posted some dad jokes to round out the day, asking questions like, "How does the moon style his hair?"

"Eclipse it," outfielder Brandon Nimmo read.

Pitcher Nathan Eovaldi asked, "What did the scarecrow win an award for?"

"He was out standing in the field."

Stephen A. Smith defends the 'black first' identity destroying black Americans



In a recent conversation with Brandon Tatum and Gary Chambers, ESPN host Stephen A. Smith promoted a “black first identity” — which frames black identity through the lens of historical oppression rather than individual agency and achievement.

“What the hell is wrong with looking at yourself as black first before you’re anything else? Black before you’re American. Black before, you know, you’re anything else. What’s wrong with that?” Smith asked Tatum and Chambers.

“Because all black people ain't the same,” Tatum responded. “Like, for instance, we all different. So when I say ‘I’m black,’ what does that mean? The color of my skin.”

“Black people from New York is different than black people from the South. Black people from Africa that came over here as immigrants are very different than African-Americans. We’re diverse like anybody else,” he continued. “When white people say ‘I’m white first,’ what does that mean?”

Smith argued in response that black people should identify with their enslaved ancestors, as they are identifying with the "remnants of that even in today’s society.”


“I’m saying if you identify yourself as black before you identify yourself as American, what you’re doing is saying coming out of the womb, I know I’m going to be at a disadvantage because I’m in America and I’m going to have to scratch and claw and have an uphill climb,” he continued.

While he says that should not be met with a “defeatist attitude,” he goes on to say that it means “you are at least acknowledging that there are historical insidious acts that are associated with this particular nation.”

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not amused.

“Stephen A. Smith is a cancer to the American media. That you could sit there and be paid $20 million a year by ESPN … and be as unqualified as Stephen A. Smith and then make the argument that there’s all these historical disadvantages, uphill climb,” he comments, annoyed.

“Don’t tell me about 150 years ago in slavery, something you did not experience. Don’t tell me about 100, 80 years ago, and segregation, and things you did not experience,” he says.

“When did you run uphill? When you flunked fourth grade? That was a racist plot? That was American racism making you repeat fourth grade?” he continues, pointing out that Smith’s obsession with a “black first identity” isn’t actually a “black first” identity at all.

“That’s a victim first identity. That’s what you just unpacked,” he explains.

“He’s promoting a victim first identity while claiming to be a Christian, while claiming to belong to some church, while claiming to have some sort of biblical worldview. Show me anywhere in the Bible where Christians are supposed to take on a victim first mentality,” he continues.

“Stephen A. Smith and myself grew up at the exact same time,” he says. “We’ve never been victims.”

Detroit Lions in the crosshairs for skipping Juneteenth — but an entire major sports league did too



The day that honors the end of slavery was celebrated unanimously across most sports leagues, with some notable exceptions.

One was the Detroit Lions, who confused fans with their decision not to post any materials in support of Juneteenth.

'It must have been an accident.'

Given that Juneteenth was first recognized as a holiday in 2021 by President Joe Biden, it is not unusual for the day to be overlooked by the common sports fan. For most pro sports teams though, every possible iteration of race or cultural politics typically gets marked down on the calendar.

This was why football fans were confused when the Lions opted not to post anything for Juneteenth, with one Lions supporter assuming "it must have been an accident."

"Just go look at the Lions profile picture," the fan noted; the Lions' X photo features transgender and gay pride colors.

There was no mention of the new holiday from the National Hockey League either, Fox News reported.

The league is only a week removed from the last game of the Stanley Cup Finals, so it is possible employees are on hiatus. However, the NHL has been deeply involved in diversity efforts for years — especially since the Black Lives Matter era — making this a strange move for the league as well.

Some players in the league previously complained the NHL wasn't doing enough to support diversity, even after the hiring of a woman named Kim Davis to serve as the executive vice president of social impact, growth initiatives, and legislative affairs.

With a goal to bring diversity to the league and its C-suite, Davis described hockey as a "tribe" that needs to "feel more welcoming."

This eventually led to the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition, which has since wreaked havoc on the league with its initiatives.

Blaze News previously reported on the league-wide controversies surrounding Pride jerseys, Pride tape, and player backlash.

Still, NFL fans seemed split on the latest issue online, either dragging the Lions organization for not supporting Juneteenth or being puzzled as to why they support other progressive celebrations if they are able to avoid this one.

"I just find it wild that they can support LGBTQ but not black people especially since most of their team is Black," an X user wrote.

Another reaction from the story had one fan saying they had grown to hate the "weird idea of social media telling teams what to do."

With the Lions as the lone standout in the NFL, they join the Texas Rangers of the MLB who similarly are the only team in their league not to celebrate gay pride with a dedicated night.

The Lions and the NHLPA, which runs the Player Inclusion Coalition along with the NHL, did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

SF Giants commentator compares gays to black people as 'oppressed' minority following Christian protest



San Francisco Giants sportscaster Mike Krukow vehemently defended the team's Pride Night celebration in lengthy remarks after three pitchers wrote Bible verses on their hats.

Pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker wrote differing forms of "Genesis 9:12-16" on their Giants rainbow-themed hats last week, and veteran commentator Krukow says it was a big mistake.

'The strength of this city is its ethnicity, its culture.'

Krukow's diatribe came after hosts on radio station KNBR asked him on Tuesday if he had any thoughts on the protest. Krukow did not hold back, directly comparing the "gay community" to black Americans by referring to homosexuals as an oppressed "minority."

"It's hard to put it into perspective when you have so much emotion and so much of love for people who have been pinged at and oppressed and there was so much prejudice at you," Krukow attempted to explain. "The gay community has had to deal with issues, as the black community, as any minority community has had to."

The announcer championed the Giants organization's long history of supporting gay people, which he said dated back to 1994 when it raise money for AIDS research. This was just one of the reasons Krukow said it was the duty of Giants players to understand the culture of the city, and thus, to support gay events.

"It's your responsibility to know just how sensitive this city is in regards to that cultural freedom and religious freedom and just the way that you live your life. And I think they were in for a rude awakening with the response," Krukow said.

However, the protests did not prevent Giants fans from showing up at the next two home games. As Blaze News reported, attendance fluctuated in the days following the allegedly bigoted acts, with more fans showing up on the Sunday after Pride Night than they did on Pride Night itself.

The 74-year-old announcer made plenty more partisan comments during his radio appearance, saying the "ethnicity" and "freedom" of San Francisco is what makes the city great.

"The strength of this city is its ethnicity, its culture," Krukow claimed. "It's the freedom for people to be able to come to a city and be free. And that's a powerful thing."

Though Krukow frequently mentioned "freedom," he seems to have been referring to sexuality.

Krukow did mention that he feels it is necessary to respect both sides of the issue.

Krukow said that complaints about the Pride Night protests were not from just "trolls," but rather "deep thoughts" and "educated opinion[s]" on why it is imperative to support the "gay community."

‘They need an exorcism’: Whitlock reacts in horror to ‘Austin Bop’ TikTok dance mocking the murder of Austin Metcalf



Supporters of Karmelo Anthony have coined a new dance dubbed the “Austin Bop.” The TikTok trend emerged recently, where participants dance to a rap song by artist 600Notti titled "Austin Bop (stabbing my chest)" by making repeated stabbing/thrusting motions (sometimes using real knives) to mock his 2025 murder by Anthony.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock calls it “satanic.”

“This feels spiritual. This feels plotted and calculated,” he said on a recent episode of “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

Playing multiple clips of Anthony supporters performing the sadistic dance, Whitlock urges his audience to analyze this trend through a “spiritual warfare” lens.

“There is a crisis, a pandemic of satanic behavior, chaotic behavior,” he says, “and I'm sorry, I have to put a color on it because there is a particular color that's being brainwashed into thinking that violence against white people is justified and violence and conflict about any and everything is justified and normal.”

These are the same people, he argues, who are claiming that Anthony acted rightfully in self-defense by stabbing Metcalf, who was unarmed, for pushing him.

“They need an exorcism,” he declares.

“This is a brain rot and a lunacy ... a mental illness, a sickness, a reprobate mind, and a culture that is producing reprobate minds — a culture that has no respect for life,” he continues, enraged.

This participation in and support for objective evil we’re seeing in the black community, he says, is the result of making race one’s core identity.

“We have an anti-white racism problem in America. No one wants to talk about it,” he says.

“Everyone wants to pretend like, ‘No, no, we got black racism. Didn't you hear? Someone said the N-word someplace and that's racism.’ No, what racism is is when a child murders another child and based on race, one group says, ‘Well, no, that was actually self-defense, and we need to be merciful and graceful with the child that did the murdering, and we need to mock [the victim] and his family,”’ he rails.

While the escalating violence among young black people is a multifaceted issue, Whitlock places much of the blame on music.

“There is a form of music that escalates conflict, promotes satanic energy, promotes nihilism, promotes violence, unrepentant violence — and it's called hip-hop,” he says.

“We're programming kids for their own destruction and for the destruction of this country.”
