Former Carolina Panthers star quarterback and 2015 NFL MVP Award winner Cam Newton gave Caitlin Clark some constructive criticism on how to deal with the physicality that she has endured from her WNBA opponents.
Caitlin Clark has come as advertised for the Indiana Fever, but it hasnât been all sunshine and rainbows for the Iowa product and her giant fanbase. Clarkâs opponents have noticeably gotten rather physical against her, and officials frequently fail to blow whistles on instances where she is clearly fouled.
That notion reared its ugly head a week ago when Chennedy Carter of the Chicago Sky delivered an unnecessary shoulder check on Clark after making a two-point basket in the third quarter of their game. Officials called a standard foul on Carter at the time, but the WNBA later reviewed the play and upgraded it to a flagrant foul.
While countless fans have expressed disgust and frustration with the amount of physical contact Clark has taken from her opponents, Newton took a different approach during the latest edition of his â4th & 1 with Cam Newtonâ show:
âWhy are we actinâ as if sheâs Americaâs sweetheart in a league that, sheâs in a league full of hyenas and lions, tigers and bears? Everybody is cominâ after you to try to dethrone you, and trying to get in your head-mentally, physically, emotionally. And this is just an example of that.
Nobody is above getting checked or being disliked. So, Caitlin, welcome to the big leagues. Everybody ainât gonna like you. Everybody not gonâ like the fact that you just are as young as you are and youâre the face of the WNBA. Theyâre not gonna like the fact that Nike just dropped a big boy bag on you. So, yeahâŠwhat did Steve Smith say? You gotta ice up, son.â
