With a game at Capital One Arena, the Mystics will be the latest team to benefit from a Clark visit — the Fever lead the league in attendance for their away games this season, averaging 15,315 fans on the road. The hunger for tickets has been so great that the team moved Friday’s game against the Fever from the 4,200-seat Entertainment and Sports Arena in Southeast to the 20,000-seat Capital One Arena, home of the Wizards and Capitals.
“Reality is coming,” Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi said about Clark in April. “There’s levels to this thing. And that’s just life. We all went through it.”She has been on the receiving end of some hard fouls, including a hotly-debated hit last week against the Veteran Chicago Sky. Chicago guard Chennedy Carter knocked the rookie to the ground during an in-bounds play, eliciting a foul that was later upgraded to a flagrant-1.
A man approached the Sky’s players outside their hotel in D.C. on Wednesday, demanding to speak to Carter about the foul. Players noted that the man called them “ghetto b——-” and said “women’s sports aren’t s—.”Commentators like Charles Barkley have come to Clark’s defense, urging WNBA players to be grateful for the media darling. They say her star power has brought more fans and amenities, like a charter flight program that began this year.
