The off-ball foul on Caitlin Clark during the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game had the whole nation talking about the notorious act. Now, Good Morning America's host and former NFL player Michael Strahan expressed his opinion on the foul in the latest episode of the morning TV show.
"That was unecessary. That was a cheap shot," Strahan said.
He also remarked on the foul involving Angel Reese and said that the veterans are probably showing them the harsh nature of the WNBA. Strahan's co-host on Good Morning America, Robin Roberts, dove deeper into the foul play involving Clark and expressed her opinion.
According to Roberts, basketball is a rough game, and altercations are prevalent at the professional level, such as in the WNBA. However, she agreed with Strahan's assessment that Carter took a cheap shot at Caitlin Clark. Furthermore, Roberts was impressed with how the Fever rookie handled the situation.
Clark was professional in her reaction, getting up from the foul and just looking at the official with her hands raised to her waist without any whining. She highlighted that the fanbase of Clark was more enraged by the incident than the star herself.
