Plus, readers share their views on trans athletes and memories of Jackie Robinson.
The Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark during the first quarter of a game against the New York Liberty on June 2.
In her comments to the media, Ms. Clark has never said nor implied what Ms. Buckner infers. She has acted in a professional manner, which is more than can be said about the Women’s National Basketball Association and some of its players. Using intentional hard fouls to put rookies in their place is irresponsible. If the league doesn’t like the scrutiny, it should have addressed this issue long ago.
Chennedy Carter blindsided Ms. Clark during an inbounds play, knocking her down. That was personal and didn’t pertain to basketball, and Ms. Carter should have been suspended. But let’s remember, that was one cheap shot by one player. The Indiana Fever franchise did the wise thing and submitted videos of play they considered questionable for the league to review.. That was a more egregious play than a shoulder check.
Fairness is the bedrock of sports. If competition is not fair, there would seem to be little point to higher-end athletics. At the very low-end recreational leagues, it’s likely not nearly as much of an issue. Still, for girls who are marginal athletes trying their hardest, regardless of their God-given natural ability, to be benched for a trans athlete seems unfair.
