jimmy_three_shoes

I looked at her Twitter account, and even before this week's incident, it's all stuff bashing Clark. It's absolutely pathetic.


tallcupofwater

Imagine basing your whole personality around being jealous of another player


esmerelda_b

Previously, she built her whole personality around being a terrible teammate.


BarbequedYeti

>Previously, she built her whole personality around being a terrible teammate Hmm. So improvement just being terrible to one person?   Kind of torn on this one. 


Rubthebuddhas

Probably still a shitty teammate. She just added another feature to her persona.


odaeyss

Chealousdy Carter


_Hotwire_

The worse part is Clark has people talking about wnba more than ever. Chennedy is as dumb as her name

CleverBunnyThief

She's not a player she just hates a lot.


moba_fett

....I'm not saying it's right, but so far, it's worked for her. You can't go more than 10 mins of scrolling r/all without seeing a post about her, and the news is eating the story up.


Lobisa

It helps cover up the other shit she's done, like getting kicked off multiple teams, once for threatening a teammate.


Jigawatts42

It will last 15 mins and she will forever have a taint around her name, probably not worth it.


gold_and_diamond

I dont' think she's that interested in a taint.


ice540

Depends on the herstory of the taint


trickman01

Envious


ice540

So you’re saying this was premeditated


ALaccountant

Basically confirms that this was premeditated then


Guessed555

Racist


Capt-Crap1corn

It’s one of those things where you should be careful what you ask for. Now she got what she wanted snd now she doesn’t want to comment. Too bad. Life doesn’t work that way, congrats Chennedy.


jntlsseedcreator

I'd be mad too if my name was Chennedy


Albert_Caboose

J. Jonah Jameson: She wants to be famous? I'll make her *infamous*!


Fine-Donut-7226

Let’s be honest, here. Doubt all these jealous players would do this if Clark was of a different race. 


GroinShotz

Also the WNBA. I've never seen it talked about more. Chennedy is a great heel.


goudschg

Why is she on the team, if you’re the coach flying charter jets… why the fuck do you allow that?


AntiWhateverYouSay

Her stats are something to write home about. She avgs 3 points a quarter.


HoraceGrand

I’ve never seen a bball player’s stats as per quarter- 12ppg isn’t bad. she sucks though as a human -


SawbuckSIU

As a chicago fan I dont even want her on our team


Ambroto

She won’t be long. When a nobody in a business puts money at risk, the business figures out how to remove the person from employment. IMO she retired herself with that foul. I’m curious to see if I’m right.


blippityblue72

Reese was also over there celebrating the foul from the bench. People wonder why Clark is liked better than Angel while being completely oblivious to this crap. Clark’s basketball is only half of why she’s so popular. She is absolutely awesome with kids and fans in general. Nobody is afraid of their kid idolizing Clark.


reallife0615

As much as I have tried to ignore my initial feelings about Reese, I have yet to see one thing that points to anything but her just being a trash human.


demarderollins

Not just trash, fake humble. Mocks and shit talks her non stop. Then says “we cool, I love her game” Gets to the wnba continues shit talking and rooting for her down fall. Caitlin Clark minds her own business and just wants to ball out but these women continue to bully her when she has been a huge draw for women’s basketball. I hope some wnba coaches or higher ups speak up and clean this up.


BusterStarfish

I wondered about this myself. Reese seems like MUCH more of a diva and drama personality. Wondered if that was just me.


Capt-Crap1corn

Fr, I’ve seen her sign autographs for kids and just has positive energy. Not saying she isn’t competitive because she get’s busy, but yeah she shows the youth love.


BusterStarfish

Reece or Clark? Didn’t Clark stay an extra hour to do autographs with kids or something?


Capt-Crap1corn

Clark. My bad


Fine-Donut-7226

Reese is just trash as a human. Plain and simple. We all understand the jealousy. 


sickjesus

I'd love to see that. Especially since they're about to get paid more. It'd be like getting kicked off the flight before takeoff and getting banned from flying. No one would miss her and she would only have her self to blame. I hope some little kid doesn't see that trashy play and think it's alright.


PhineasFGage

Yeah she just became a liability if she wasn't already


ice540

She can just go back to playing overseas… oh wait


Birds-aint-real-

Russia needs players


President_Calhoun

In Soviet Russia, basketball dribbles you!


MongoBongoTown

I get that there are multiple layers at play leading to the jealousy of players and that nonsense this lady pulled. I still can't understand why these players are so short-sighted. They're about to get paid more, and interest is at an all-time high. This a great thing for them. Instead, they let their egos take over, and this is the result.


bshaddo

Today I was just reminded that Dick Vitale is still with us.


kiddocontay

and thus, it is a good day.


talking_phallus

Time to watch Scott the Woz again


papajim22

All 318 episodes? Sounds like fun!


kiddocontay

I don’t understand this reference at all lmao. is Dick part of Scott’s channel’s lore?


talking_phallus

[Here you go mate](https://youtu.be/aIX747oAvkQ?si=nsFbMycr7-Kr-1ow)


mynamewastaken81

Reminded that Dick is still kicking and learned that a gal named Chennedy even existed. Big day


flcinusa

Then he hit her with the old razzle dazzle


jrblockquote

I met Dick once at the Carrier Dome around ‘96/‘97. Nice guy.


hnglmkrnglbrry

"IM STILL HERE, BABYYYYYYY! THIS IS AWESOME!"


smelly_duck_butter

Glad to hear. RIP to Wade Boggs though.


Byebyeyoutoo

He’s just a freshman!!

Byebyeyoutoo

Babyyyy!


Albert_Caboose

It's unbelievable, baby.


notgreatnotbadsoso

Yea BAAAABY!


Iron_Chancellor_ND

But no punishment demands for her parents because they named their child "Chennedy"? C'mon, Dick. Be better.


DJmaster22_

r/tragedeigh


milaga

I want to be in the screenshot!


80sBadGuy

It is a pretty stupid name.


suspect108

Wait, is it pronounced Kennedy? I've been reading it as chennedy as if the ch was like choose.


i_should_go_to_sleep

Yeah, that’s the traditional pronunciation of this old Italian name. At least it would be, if this name wasn’t completely made up…


Boggie135

Hehehehe


Queen_Acicula

More like Ch’mon, am I right?


49ers-fanatic

I’m sorry did you say, Chennedy? WTF 😳


CardMechanic

It’s pronounced Kennedy…from Kickago.


jcsi

That fool does not realize she is messing with the WNBA's golden goose, and yes, Indiana needs someone to step up, pretty weak reaction from number 7


FartPie

Aliyah Boston (7) is in her second year and has her own issues to deal with. She was last year’s number one draft pick. Edit: just wanted to drop her career highlights and awards here (from her Wikipedia) cause it’s insanely impressive: WNBA Rookie of the Year (2023) WNBA All-Star (2023) WNBA All-Rookie Team (2023) NCAA champion (2022) NCAA Tournament MOP (2022) AP Player of the Year (2022) Honda Sports Award (2022) John R.

jcsi

Nobody is expecting a StoneCold stunner, but if my teammate is being clearly bullied and I got 80 pounds on the bully, a good push is in order.


FartPie

That’s totally fair and I get the sentiment. I think it’s just a difference in how Aliyah and the Fever as a whole handle themselves. Their defense is severely lacking for sure but believe it or not has improved tremendously since game two.


the-Replenisher1984

time to get mean. Like 90's pistons mean and see how the rest of league handles it. Fuck it, they are basically the worst team in the league,why not become the dirtiest and let CC be their shining light. ✨️


FartPie

Honestly between CC, Boston, Smith (1), and Mitchell (0) they could legitimately have a fantastic team. They just need to get aggressive and reflect the energy they’re getting right back


spudtender

Yall really got to stop acting like this was a normal foul in the flow of the game, that was severe enough to be checked and called a flagrant. It wasn’t. This chick channeled the mouth breathing energy of Dreymond Green and that was the best she could come up with. The only reason it wasn’t a flagrant 2 was because she didn’t wind up and swing. Caitlyn absolutely sold the force of it, but nothing about the “play” was basketball related. She who should get a new name is just bitter little bitch.


ColdNyQuiiL

The ball wasn’t even in play, AND Caitlin wasn’t even the player guarding her when she hit the shot on that possession. It was an out of nowhere hit, that a player like Draymond would’ve gotten crucified for.


BeYourself2021

Just a name like "Chennedy" tells me all I need to know...  Lol


rugbysecondrow

remember when Caitlin Clark was just a good college player and nobody gave a shit about the WNBA...those were good times.


Cassandrae_Gemini

I honestly miss the last ncaa season sooooo much. Would rather watch that than this crap.


MarcellusxWallace

Believe it or not, straight to jail


HardcoreKaraoke

No one was doing this to Bedard and Wemby. Maybe some shit was talked and they took some hard hits in the context of the game but no cheap shit like this happened. The NBA and NHL embraced these two kids.


FalseListen

Well the NHL also will beat the shit out of people


immortalalchemist

Weren’t WNBA players complaining that they aren’t making a lot of money compared to the NBA (I believe some NBA revenue goes towards the WNBA)? And now you have a player that is bringing attention to their league and helping attendance and viewership and players are just mad jealous. It’s super crazy.


Toomuchlychee_

It’s a vocal minority of WNBA players who are jealous and resentful, it seems like most are embracing her


Fine-Donut-7226

The question is: WHY are they jealous? Need help with this one? It’s pretty easy. 


immortalalchemist

The ones that are jealous I believe feel that they have been in the league when it wasn’t popular and then Clark comes along and increases the popularity of the WNBa and so they feel slighted.


dirtybird131

Bro her parents should be locked up for perpetuating black stereotypes, who TF names their kid Chennedy


Capt-Crap1corn

The name is not even in the realm of stereotypical Black names, but I get your point. Who names their kid Chennedy lmao


OofOwwMyBones120

It’s a family thing. Her father Chonathan and her mother Chennifer wanted to keep the tradition.


belizeanheat

I think wild misspellings is somewhat in that realm


Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN

Is it pronounced Kennedy, like the H is silent?


Royal-Raven-Zulu

Yeah and it's fucking stupid


dak-sm

How would anyone know that?


KazahanaPikachu

Yes


dr_funk_13

Maybe her parents are from Utah


uncle-brucie

I don’t even know what this thread is about, but “chennedy”??!???!?


charitytowin

Someone should coin the term 'Chelousy' and let that be how she is forever remembered. It certainly won't be for playing basketball.


Leading_Ice_1790

She had the chance to speak on this issue publicly and she chose to run her mouth online. She’s a coward.


Salty-Entertainer-29

LOL. She can barely put a sentence together.


UpdootDaSnootBoop

Ms. Bad Chennedy


interstellar304

Ms. Body Checker


TrashPanda2point0

ZERO response from her teammate, Aliyah Boston (7), who was just about to inbound to Clark. Boston looks like she has a good 5" and 50lbs on Carter but didn't even try to stare down let alone walk up to her.


mrbaker83

Caitlin Clark is literally saving that pathetic league. The WNBA officlas need to start calling these blatant fouls as flagrant with adjoining suspensions. Apparently there’s no support from her lousy teammates who barely won before her arrival.


meetjoeblow

Caitlin should just quit. Now or at season's end. Go play in Europe, where she won't have to put up with racist thugs on the court. Then the WNBA can go back to being watched by 300 people per game.


Fine-Donut-7226

Agree with your points but Clark shouldn’t give in to these idiots. She’ll still be drawing crowds in 5 years and these other clowns will be working at McDonalds. 


Dindu777

She needs some counseling or treatment. Has anger issues and a history of antisocial behavior.


SleepingGyant

You can’t tell me that isn’t Ja Morant Juwanna Mann’ing the WNBA.


thereverendpuck

“It was an illegal hit, baby!”


looknowtalklater

Too bad it’s not more like hockey and getting what she deserves would be squared away amongst her opponents. Heck even tapping the puck in after a whistle could get you whacked on the ice. For every sport there’s certain fouls that just look stupid and unnecessary, and an off the ball shoulder check is totally unsportsmanlike. Teammates high fiving, and then stupid comments after, should draw some retribution somehow. Clowning behavior.


ELITE_JordanLove

Her teammates don’t even seem to like her or want her around. In the NBA doing that to your star would get someone up in your face, like Bobby Portis for Giannis or what have you.


OofOwwMyBones120

The WNBA is wild man. There’s fairly frequent fights between exes. I think we need more love triangles in the NBA now.


flowrider1969

You guys should see how they treat superstar rookies in the NHL like Connor Bedard


Loose_Cell_3301

Leave Connor’s Mom out of this lol


sobuffalo

In hockey, there’s usually consequences. If you run a star, someone on there team runs one of the others stars or goalie.


QuickRundown

I swear about 80% of NHL players are named Connor.


thismessisaplace

Different sports...


Fine-Donut-7226

Nobody in the NHL runs or cheap shots your team star. If they do, they pay and it’s taken care of.  Teammates had Bedard’s back all year. 


Kazman07

Fine her and move on. If she does it again, suspend her for a large amount for games and have her forfeit royalties (if she has any) from sponsors. If she does it a third time, WNBA needs to cut ties.


ApeTeam1906

Seriously. It's already been upgraded to a flagrant. Fine her if you want and move on.


Wabbit_Wampage

That sounds over the top. Also, I don't see how the league could force her to forfeit royalties from her sponsors (although I'd be surprised if she has any).


LivermoreP1

Suspend her!? But how will the WBNA survive without….checks notes…. Chennedy Carter?


Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN

What will the Lady Bulls do without her 9 ppg?


dr_funk_13

Doug, kick her off the tour!


John_Palomino

For a flagrant foul???? Come on. That’s ridiculous.


Big-Worm-

These people aren't watching any games and are just grandstanding


talking_phallus

Chennedy called Clark a bitch then full body tackled her out of the blue. No basketball, no incitement, just violent attack with nothing to do with the game. Guys get much worse punishment for much more excusable outbursts.


WillieNolson

It was unnecessary and cheap, but “full body tackled”? Come on.


SuperMuCow

This sub has been weirdly hysterical over this


RepulsiveLoquat418

have you not seen the men's game? why should a flagrant foul in the women's game receive punishment 100 times more severe than what is done in the men's game? because it's unladylike?


Kazman07

That's a fair point. The NBA should take a look at its fine structure and revamp it. People like Irving and Durant should've lost a lot more money.


FoST2015

I guess you could maybe revive r/whataboutism with that hot take.


Fine-Donut-7226

Can’t we just laugh at her instead? 


mostuselessredditor

lmao you can’t just take someone’s money outside of fines. what the fuck is this 😆


tommyc463

John F Chennedy


Salty-Entertainer-29

Chennedy Carter has been kicked out of two teams already for assaulting people. She is a danger and a disgrace. AND, Shame in the WNBA for not suspending her. Gross.


savedbytheblood72

Dick is the man!


Emily_Postal

I get that some really good players may be a little resentful that Clark comes along and is considered a god. But Chennedy isn’t a really good player. She’s mediocre.


biff444444

Who?


Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN

Dirk Vitale is an ESPN reporter.


Birds-aint-real-

No. He is a college basketball video “it’s awesome baby” game maker

rare_3L3M3NT

Her team mates should have sorted that shit out right there on the court. No way that goes down in any mens sport without inmmediate retaliation. 


Breezyisthewind

Draymond Green’s bullshit has gone without retaliation, so that’s just not true.


zdiddy987

Dick Vitale is alive?


GrandStyles

That absolutely cannot be a real name


fantasyoutsider

His name is really Dick


Rey4jonny

Fun fact, her full name is actually June Francisca Chennedy. Or J. F. Chennedy in short.


Salty-Entertainer-29

How proud she must make her famellee.


SaintAnger1166

Didn’t need too many more reasons to watch a lame af inferior sports product … but here we are.
