Caitlin Clark Clearly Fouled, Refs Do Absolutely Nothing: VIDEO

Published|Updated

The refs missed an obvious foul committed against Caitlin Clark Thursday night.

Clark and the Indiana Fever fell to the Seattle Storm 103-88 to fall to 1-8 on the season. Despite the loss, the former Iowa star finished with 20 points, nine assists and three rebounds.

She also showed some serious fire to earn herself a technical foul. The team might not be winning, but Clark continues to shine.

Unfortunately for Clark and the Fever, the refs didn't seem overly interested in helping out the most famous player in the WNBA when an obvious foul happened.

Seattle Storm player Sami Whitcomb appeared to foul Clark going for the ball, and then just seconds later, was all over her as Clark attempted to get to the hoop. It would have been more comfortable for Whitcomb if she'd just put a saddle on Clark. It was that obvious. Yet, the refs swallowed their whistles and did nothing.

You can watch the obvious blown no-call below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

There wasn't just one foul committed in the sequence above. There was at least two. There was a foul when Clark went to get the ball, and there was 100% a foul when she attempted to shoot.

Missed calls happen, but how do the refs miss blown back-to-back calls within a second or two of each other. Absolutely inexcusable.

No player should receive special attention, but no player should also get ridden like a horse going to the hoop without a call happening. Even the broadcast immediately noted it was a foul.

The good news is Caitlin Clark continues to prove she's the biggest star the league has ever had. Her games draw monster ratings, she's putting up numbers and nothing the haters say will change that. Let me know if you agree at David.Hookstead@outkick.com!

P.S.: I laughed incredibly hard at the tweet below because there's a lot of truth to it.
