The drama was guaranteed with the Indiana Fever facing the Chicago Sky this past weekend. Surprisingly, however, Chennedy Carter vs. Caitlin Clark has far overshadowed Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark.
Carter decked Clark with a hefty body check during the third quarter of the 71-70 Fever win and has gotten everyone talking, including Goldberg.
Speaking on ‘The View’ this Monday, Goldberg downplayed the foul and claimed that such moves happen all the time in basketball games.
“Let’s be realistic, OK? This is basketball, OK?” she said. “This happens in basketball all the time. Angel Reese got clotheslined the other day.”
“This is, ‘Get out the way or I’ma move you.’ That’s what the game is. So, a lot of people, however, are reading this as confrontation. But this is not confrontation. They’re not playing on the court. They’re there to win. And just because they’re women, get over yourselves, they’re athletes.”
"Let's be realistic."

What Did Caitlin Clark Think?
Caitlin Clark likely disagrees with Whoopi Goldberg’s sentiment as she told reporters Chennedy Carter’s foul was not a basketball play.
“Yeah, that’s just not a basketball play,” she said (H/T the New York Post). “But you know I’ve gotta play through it, that’s what basketball is about at this level. I thought we’ve been really physical, we’ve missed some bunnies around the rim, so hopefully those fall in the fourth.”
The WNBA has also upgraded the foul from a common to a flagrant-1 violation, though Carter received no further punishment.
