Fans Launch 'Dirty' Allegations Against Angel Reese, Chicago Sky After Telling Caitlin Clark Stat

Caitlin Clark has become the WNBA's brightest star this season -- but has also turned into one of the league's biggest targets.

The Indiana Fever rookie has already set a number of league records and attracted record ratings. Clark has also taken some very hard fouls from opponents, with one viral post revealing the alarming rate at which she's been hit with hard fouls.

The Clark Report noted that close to one in five flagrant fouls this season have been committed against Clark -- with the Chicago Sky the biggest culprit. The Sky were whistled for two flagrant fouls against Clark in Friday's 100-81 win for the Fever.

"Interesting stat: 17% of the WNBA’s flagrant fouls this season have been committed against Caitlin Clark," the post noted . "The Chicago Sky were responsible for 80% of the flagrants committed against Clark"

The post drew some strong reactions from fans, many of whom accused the Sky of "dirty" play against the Rookie of the Year frontrunner.

"Statistically this supports the narrative of targeting. Shame on the WNBA for not addressing it directly," one person wrote.

Though fellow rookie Angel Reese was not one of the culprits of the flagrant fouls, she did not escape "dirty" play allegations. Some fans recalled when she appeared to congratulate Chicago's Chennedy Carter after a very hard foul against Clark earlier this year.

"I can still see 'angel' Reese congratulating Carter after she basically tacked Caitlin," a fan posted. "They are dirty players that are intentionally trying to injure that kid. The refs need to do better."
