Caitlin Clark’s fans have complained about one-sided calls against their favorite player. They claim referees are unfair to Clark because she’s a heterosexual player in a league dominated by lesbians.
Now WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson has called out the referees for their questionable officiating during a game on Sunday – the first day of Gay Pride Month.
The Las Vegas Aces superstar recorded 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots in the 75-70 win over the Seattle Storm. But the 3-time MVP was surprised by the lack of foul calls going her way.
Taking to Threads after the game, A’ja wrote; “First day of pride & I get no foul calls… ok W ok I see how it’s gonna be.”
The 6-4 forward/center is dating Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo. She is among a dozen or so straight players in the league.
A’ja will get no sympathy from Caitlin Clark’s fans. Clark has been frustrated by the lack of foul calls despite being bullied by other players during her rookie season in 2024.
Clark suffered a quadriceps injury on the final play in a game vs the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana on May 24.
Liberty player Natasha Cloud reached in and grabbed Clark multiple times but no fouls were called. Clark is sidelined in street clothes for 2 weeks.
In other WNBA news on Tuesday, Wilson was named Western Conference Player of the Week for week 2 of the 2025 season. Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
