Eleven Republican Lawmakers Demand WNBA Accountability for Attacks on Caitlyn Clark
What was said
"This is about the future of women's sports. We're trying to get more young women, talented women into professional sports. This type of abuse coming from some players in the WNBA has gotten worse. This is the moment where they put a fist on her throat while she is pinned to the court. I think it's unacceptable."
Republican Congressman Mark Alford and ten other lawmakers sent a formal letter to the WNBA commissioner demanding action on what they describe as multiple attacks against star player Caitlyn Clark that go beyond normal physical play. The letter cites potential workplace violations and civil rights concerns, and warns of possible federal investigations by the DOJ, Department of Labor, and EEOC if the issue is not addressed. Alford emphasized this is about protecting the future of women's professional basketball, not just one player.
