Caitlin Clark's Boyfriend Subtly Weighs In On Cheap Shots She Faces In WNBA

Caitlin Clark's boyfriend Connor McCaffery seems interested in the Indiana Fever beefing up her protection.

The WNBA rookie was on the wrong end of a brutal cheap shot from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter. The play was nothing short of gross, despicable and incredibly dirty.

There's no excuse for that kind of conduct in basketball. A hard foul is one thing. Head-hunting is totally different, and Connor is subtly backing calls for the Fever to get an enforcer.

Caitlin Clark's boyfriend weighs in on cheap shots.

There have been a lot of calls for the Fever to sign an enforcer to protect Clark given the fact players appear out to get her. Connor apparently likes the idea.

He liked the two tweets below, according to the New York Post.

I can't blame Connor at all for wanting an enforcer out there on the court to protect his girlfriend. Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA, and she's getting hammered on a regular basis to a level no fan is used to seeing.

What Carter did to her was mind-boggling, and it wasn't upgraded to a flagrant foul until the game was over.

You simply can't allow a player to get crushed with cheap shots, especially the face of a franchise and the entire league. It's only a matter of time before Clark suffers a serious injury if this is allowed to continue.

Hell, she could have been seriously hurt by Carter seeing as how the Sky player hit her from behind like a coward. Clark is lucky she didn't hit her head going down.

Now, the Fever rookie's boyfriend and many others think an enforcer is necessary. It's not a bad idea at all. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com if you agree.
