Anew video has emerged from Capital Paparazzi showing an unidentified man questioning Chennedy Carter about the Caitlin Clark incident when the Chicago Sky arrived in Washington DC, before being shut down by team security.

According to Adam Stroller, who posted the 17-second interaction on X, formerly Twitter, the account that originally published the full video of the incident “got nuked,” or wiped off the internet.
With no full video, the jury is out on the severity of the incident, but the players’ first-hand accounts tell a damning story. It is clear that the influence of Reese, Carter and Clark has raised the profile of the WNBA to the point that more security is justified, as social media criticism bleeds into real life threats.

Reese contended that the person put a camera in Carter’s face, while Isabelle Harrison claimed that it was such a tense scene at their team bus that they could not get off the bus.

Chicago forward Michaela Onyenwere also claimed that the individual called them “ghetto b******” and said “women’s sports isn’t s***”
Interesting how the video posted was edited and doesn’t include when he harassed our staff while calling us “ghetto b******” and saying “women’s sports isn’t s***”.
We are not about to normalize things like that.
