When Caitlin Clark and the Indian Fever faced the New York Liberty on Sunday, the hoop enthusiasts could notice how exhausted the former team’s players were as they played their 11th game of the season. They quickly pointed out the supposed bias against the franchise, which raised questions on the WNBA.

ESPN’s Frank Isola strongly disapproved of it on his X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) handle by stating that the league should levy a fine on the person responsible for an unfair scheduling decision. The Fever had to appear 11 times in 20 days, the most by any other women’s team this season, while the reigning champions, Las Vegas Aces, comparatively had a much more relaxing schedule of only six games.

WNBA also needs to fine the person responsible for having the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark play 11 games in 20 days. Meanwhile, the defending champs, Las Vegas Aces, have played six. Absurd.

The Indiana franchise finished the evening with a 104-68 loss. Clark contributed a 3-pointer, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists. Since arriving in the pro league, the point guard hasn’t displayed much of her talent, and the unjust schedule is only working against her.

Social Media Reacts to Caitlin Clark’s Unjust Schedule

The WNBA’s viewership has increased noticeably because of Caitlin Clark. The fans expected her to spread the same magic in the league as in her Iowa days, but that has not been the case. When the fans observed the differences with her team, they protested on Isola’s social media post.

Agreeing with him, a fan wrote, “Yes. This is outrageous. The @WNBA has the Fever running on fumes at this point.”

“Who’s running operations over there??” asked another furious fan.

Assuming the league’s motives, someone commented, “The WNBA doesnt have to look far. They schedule this shit because they wanted to cash in on the clark effect. More games =more airtime = more sell outs. They just didn’t expect the fever to be 2-9. they sacrificed the health of an entire to team to prop up the golden goose..”

While one fan asked, “I’m not up to date on wnba but this scheduling is so tilted. How can one team already have 11 games while another has 6?”

A fan added, “In attempting to hype Clark the league hurt her chances to show her game. The schedule is ridiculous.”

“Agreed. It’s ridiculous they have played at least 2 games more than every team. Trying to get people hurt by doing that!” read one of the comments.

The fifth-seeded Eastern team will get some time before they take on the Washington Mystics on Saturday, where Clark needs to pull up her socks and lead the team offensively so that they can change their 2-9 record in a positive direction.

REPORT: Former First-Round Wide Receiver Is Set To Play An Entirely New Position With The Minnesota Vikings

A veteran NFL wide receiver and former first-round pick will aim to revive his career by trying out a different position.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell reported that wide receiver N’Keal Harry is making the switch to tight end, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk:

“N’Keal is really fired up about it. He has attacked the process, long before we even got started in the offseason program. But you’re hoping to see the receiving traits lead the way early on, as they get a little more comfort in maybe having their hand down, being a part of run schemes, the different kind of run schemes that we’re implementing, and N’Keal has shown that…

At this stage in his career a position change is unique, but we’re hoping we’re developing a guy who can be a real third-down weapon, red-zone weapon, with his skill set.”

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Harry was selected 32nd overall by the New England Patriots in the 2019 NFL Draft. Bill Belichick infamously took the Arizona State wideout over several other future star WRs, including Deebo Samuel, A.J. Brown, DK Metcalf, Dionte Johnson and Terry McLaurin.

N’Keal Harry never panned out in New England, tallying just 57 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns over his three seasons (33 game appearances) in Foxborough. A trade to the Chicago Bears didn’t help Harry, who hauled in just seven receptions for 116 yards and one TD in the 2022 NFL season.

The Vikings signed N’Keal Harry during the 2023 season. Harry saw minimal playing time on offense and was mostly used as a special teams player in the nine games he suited up for.

Minnesota’s top tight end, TJ Hockenson, is recovering from a season-ending ACL tear that he suffered in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions. It’s still unclear if Hockenson will return for Week 1, when the Vikings kick off their 2024 season with a road tilt against the New York Giants.

Last Chance For N’Keal Harry To Save His NFL Career

If N’Keal Harry is going to shed the bust label, this is his last opportunity.

It was easy to blame Belichick in New England, since he has a long track record of drafting draft busts at WR. And in Chicago, Harry was stuck on football’s worst team with a 3-14 record.

Harry gets one more chance to do so on a star-studded Minnesota offense that features one of the league’s best offensive minds in O’Connell.
