There’s no question that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is one of the faces of the WNBA. “You’ve seen players in our league try to toughen up Caitlin… even when I wasn’t on her team,” Cunningham said.

One of those incidents came earlier this year when Sun guard Marina Mabrey shoved Clark and received a technical foul, which the league later upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Jacy Sheldon hit Clark in the face on a steal attempt, and when Clark shoved Sheldon and turned her back, Mabrey entered the scuffle and pushed Clark to the ground.

During a recent appearance on the "A Touch More" podcast, hosted by WNBA legend Sue Bird and USWNT star Megan Rapinoe, Collier boldly stated she's growing concerned with the troubling new trend she's noticed where WNBA fans have been lashing out at players with aggressive and hateful comments.
