Watch: Chennedy Carter Doesn’t ‘Have Any Regrets’ About Caitlin Clark Shove – ‘We’re Getting at It’

WNBA player Chennedy Carter is going viral for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of her play, and it turns out that she isn’t complaining.

In the first remarks the Chicago Sky guard made to the media about a hard foul Saturday on Indiana Fever star and No. 1 overall draft pick Caitlin Clark, Carter said she had no regrets about the incident, which drew a technical and plenty of social media infamy.

The hard foul off the ball during the Sky’s 71-70 loss to the Fever got plenty of criticism from both pundits and fans alike:

After the loss, Carter wasn’t willing to elaborate on what precipitated the foul, telling reporters, “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.”

However, she later took to social media, first reposting and liking a fusillade of clips that defended her on her X account. She then posted on the social media platform Threads — a mostly vacant rival to X owned by Meta.

She asked, in regards to Clark’s talent, “beside three point shooting what does she bring to the table man?”

 

Is Caitlin Clark being targeted?

Carter was a bit more vociferous after Monday’s practice, telling everyone that she wasn’t apologizing for the foul.

“I think at the end of the day, I’m a competitor,” she told reporters.

“Now that it’s another day, I’ve had an off day, now I can answer your questions and let you know how I really feel about things.”

“But I’m a competitor, and I’m going to compete no matter who you are, no matter who’s in front of me,” she said. “We’re getting at it. We’re going back and forth. It’s basketball. It’s all hoops. After we finish the game, it’s all love.”

But, did she have enough love to say she regretted a hard, off-ball foul? Nope!

“I don’t have any regrets for anything,” she said. “I’m going to compete and play 100 percent hard no matter who it is, like I said, or who we’re playing.

“No, I don’t have any regrets.”

Now, first off, let’s erase any misapprehensions that this was about “competition” or being a competitor. The margin of victory for the Fever, who have only won two games this season, was one point — exactly the number of points scored by Clark on the ensuing free-throw for a gratuitous foul.

This isn’t necessarily helping the Sky any, particularly given the fact that losing to the Fever — who, despite the No. 1 pick in the last two WNBA drafts, are still struggling to put together a solid team around stars Clark and Aliyah Boston — is an embarrassment for any team in playoff contention.

And it’s not as if this is helping Carter’s reputation, as many on social media noted:

Carter was the No. 4 pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft but was suspended by the Atlanta Dream after staying in the locker room when the team came out during a 2021 game against the Las Vegas Aces. She later threatened to fight a teammate over playing time. The Dream said her suspension was due to “conduct detrimental to the team.”

After a 2022 trade to the Los Angeles Sparks, she played 24 games before, as the Los Angeles Times reported, she was “benched for poor conduct during the season.”

After a year playing professionally in Turkey, she’s back in the WNBA ranks.

But, apparently, Carter believes she has nothing to apologize for and “no regrets,” despite the fact that she’s known primarily for a hard foul on the league’s biggest rising star. Nice work.

Remember, Chennedy, while the rising Caitlin Clark tide lifts all boats in the WNBA, it only helps if you’re still in the league.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
