Caitlin Clark completely curses out referee over no-call

Caitlin Clark was at it again during Wednesday’s game.

The Indiana Fever superstar Clark had a viral moment as her team faced off against the Golden State Valkyries. In the second quarter at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., Clark cursed out referee Gerda Gatling (No. 24) during a stoppage in play.

Apparently incensed about a no-call from when she had the ball on the other end of the floor, Clark waited for the next whistle and then absolutely let Gatling have it. She walked right up into Gatling’s face and screamed multiple expletives directly at her.

Clark appeared to say, “Give me a f–king call! F–k! I got fouled five times!” Here is the video.

Interestingly enough, Gatling let the entire tirade slide and did not give Clark a technical foul. Still, the Fever went into halftime trailing the Valkyries by a 40-30 score.

For as immensely talented as Clark is, constant complaining to the referees is a major part of her reputation as well. The third-year pro Clark has already had countless instances during games of getting heated with the officials, and Wednesday’s incident with Gatling might have been Clark’s ugliest one yet.
