WNBA Union Calls for Writer’s Credentials to Be Stripped

September 27, 2024

Connecticut Sun forward DiJonai Carrington poked Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the eye in a play during Game 1 of the teams’ first-round series that Clark said was obviously unintentional. On Tuesday, Brennan posted a short clip of her interview with Carrington, in which she asked the 26-year-old whether she meant to hit Clark in the eye, and then followed up by asking whether Carrington had laughed about the play later in the game.

The question was, at best, inartful, and in the video, you can see Carrington roll her eyes at the question. Fans immediately blasted Brennan online for posting the clip, with even New York Knicks guard Josh Hart saying, “They need to start taking media credentials away for stupid questions like this.”

The “clear bias” is a reference to the fact that Brennan is writing a book about Clark, a common arrangement in sports journalism and one that USA Today has begun disclosing on Brennan’s columns about Clark and the WNBA. FOS
