Caitlin Clark accumulated her seventh technical foul during an Indiana Fever win in which the team scored a franchise-record 123 points. USA Today columnist Nancy Armour published a column linking Clark's officiating complaints to historical risks for Black and queer WNBA players and later posted a statement acknowledging an inartful comparison to the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till. All substantive details about the column originate from a single Washington Times report citing unverified text.
