 Is the League Failing to Protect Its Stars?

Clark’s comments come amid growing concern from fans and analysts about the physical punishment she’s endured in her first WNBA season. Despite being one of the most marketed athletes in the league, she’s been on the receiving end of multiple hard fouls, cheap shots, and no-calls, which some believe stem from resentment over her spotlight.
