During a recent media availability, USA Today reporter Christine Brennan provoked criticism by asking DiJonai Carrington if she had intentionally hit Caitlin Clark in the eye, despite both players confirming it was accidental. Brennan followed up with a question about whether Carrington and teammate Marina Mabrey had laughed about the incident, leading to further backlash as Carrington explained she didn't even know she had hit Clark. This line of questioning sparked outrage among fans and analysts online.
Fans and analysts vehemently criticized Brennan’s line of questioning, highlighting her implication that a serious injury might be laughable. One critic reflected, 'You aren't dumb. You know exactly what you are doing. Be better, Christine.' The sentiment among social media users was that Brennan, who had previously been held in high regard, had crossed a line by sensationalizing the accident.
