Robert Griffin isn’t someone I quote very often…But he states the obvious:
“Caitlin Clark didn’t do it alone and there are a number of current and former players who helped pave and maintain the way, but Caitlin Clark has been the primary catalyst for the WNBA’s new media rights deal, new CBA, having to move games to bigger arenas, getting private chartered flights and so much more.”
“What Alyssa Thomas did to Caitlin Clark was not about basketball,” Griffin added. “It was a cheap shot. It was dirty. It was done on purpose.”
According to Griffin, improving officiating would not only protect Clark but also benefit every player in the league.
