The Chicago Sky touched down in Washington on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s clash against the Mystics. It appears they weren’t treated to a particularly warm welcome.
Sky guard Chennedy Carter’s flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark during Saturday’s showdown vs. the Indiana Fever hasn’t quite been forgotten, to the point where she was targeted by a man outside of the team hotel who was trying to shove a camera in her face while asking questions about the Fever rookie.
Multiple Sky players took to social media to reveal the team was harassed while getting off their bus and trying to get to their hotel, while the Chicago Sun-Times has also reported on it.
You can see some of their tweets below:
WOW!!! Thank GOD for security. My teammate being harassed at our hotel is insane! Couldn’t even step off the bus!!!

Getting harassed at our hotel is where the line needs to be drawn. Some “fans” have NO CHILLLLL 🤮

It would seem that things are getting out of hand.
While Chennedy’s foul on Caitlin was hardly a basketball play, it was an incident between players. The outside interference isn’t making things better.
The discourse has entered the political arena, with Congressman Jim Banks sending a letter to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert telling her to do something about Caitlin Clark being targeted.
The Chicago Sky Aren’t Being Allowed To Live Chennedy Carter’s Foul Down
It’s time to let these women play basketball again, but one can still understand why this hasn’t gone away just yet.
Angel Reese cheering for her Chicago Sky Teammate after she decked her former college rival didn’t help matters and was not a good look. Her actions have pushed the narrative that there is an agenda against Clark, making it even more difficult for things to die down.
Still, WNBA players shouldn’t have to worry about their safety or deal with harassment because of something that happened on a basketball court.
