Chicago girls’s basketball is trying as soiled as the town’s Democratic politics.
With their season spiraling into catastrophe, the WNBA Chicago Sky acquired blown out Friday night time by the visiting Indiana Fever led by WNBA supernova Caitlin Clark.
So, as a substitute of enjoying higher basketball, the Sky determined to play tough with Clark as a substitute — very, very tough.
As Sports activities Illustrated reported, Clark was the goal of two flagrant fouls dedicated by a Sky crew whose prime identify is Clark’s largest rival from her faculty days, Angel Reese.
The second was the more severe — by far. It appeared extra like an NFL takedown than a WNBA protection.
It got here within the fourth quarter, as Clark took a go after a Fever steal from the Sky. Sky participant Diamond DeShields shoulder checked her from her blind aspect, knocking Clark to the ground.
“This was fully deliberate,” conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong wrote in a publish on the social media platform X. “They preserve attempting to injure Caitlin Clark.”

It’s value noting that Clark has been the goal of WNBA brutalilty all 12 months — and never simply by the Sky. She’s dealt with it like a champ.
It’s additionally value declaring that Reese herself wasn’t concerned within the fouls on Friday, but it surely’s not tough to make a connection — significantly given the pair’s historical past each as rivals within the NCAA and of their debut WNBA season.
Earlier than Friday night time, the Fever and the Sky had met 3 times this season, with the Fever taking two out of three. Friday night time’s rematch supplied the Sky an opportunity to even the rely, however as a substitute they have been blown out by Clark’s crew by 19 factors in a 100-81 shellacking in entrance of a house crowd.
And so they disgraced themselves within the course of with play that was as soiled as any of the machinations in Chicago, a metropolis that’s nearly shorthand for “political corruption” in the USA.
A Democratic Social gathering bastion for generations — and now run by a leftist lunatic named Brandon Johnson — it’s actually not an accident that Chicago is the place the Democratic Social gathering determined to carry its conference there this 12 months. Identical to it’s no accident that the conference nominated Vice President Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate after kicking President Joe Biden off the poll amid back-room dealings that may have introduced a blush to the face of the legendary Mayor Richard Daley — the person columnist Mike Royko immortalized within the biography “Boss.”

Friday night time’s win gave Clark’s Fever a fair 16-16 document, in keeping with The Indianapolis Star, not unhealthy for a rebuilding crew.
Angel Reese’s Sky, in the meantime, are mired in an 11-20 season, with a dismal 4-12 document at residence, in keeping with the Chicago Solar-Instances.
Enjoying the way in which they do towards Clark, that’s higher than the Sky deserve.
However the Sky and their metropolis may simply deserve one another.
