The WNBA did suspend Thomas Thursday for one game.Clark’s absence stood out given her impact since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.She won WNBA Rookie of the Year that season and set the league’s single-season assists record with 337.[…]Clark also set WNBA rookie records with 769 points and 122 made 3-pointers.Her arrival coincided with a major jump in attention around the Fever, who set a WNBA single-season home attendance record during her rookie season.[…]The WNBA has not publicly explained the selection process for the poster.Rep. Tim Burchett didn’t hold back either, blasting the league’s ongoing “thug treatment” of Clark — and this poster just poured gasoline on that fire.The thug treatment of @CaitlinClark22 by the @WNBA is pathetic. pic.twitter.com/ScLDKKIEQp— Tim Burchett (@timburchett) June 25, 202612 pounds is all it takes to crush your wind pipe. https://t.co/hJ2Vf6z2Ta— Tim Burchett (@timburchett) June 25, 2026The Caitlin Clark Effect is real and undeniable. Since she entered the league in 2024, WNBA viewership has exploded. Her games regularly pull in 1-2+ million viewers on national TV, numbers the league hadn’t touched in decades. Attendance surged. Merch flew off shelves.New fans who never cared about the WNBA suddenly tuned in. Even in 2025-2026, despite injuries, her presence moves the needle dramatically. Games without her see ratings drop hard.Yet the league keeps finding new ways to slight her.The post WNBA Excludes Savior Caitlin Clark From 30th Anniversary Poster – Fans Can’t Believe the Latest Erasure of the Player Who Saved the League appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
