Tennis legend Martina Navratilova called out WNBA players on Saturday over their treatment of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, which was on full display against the Chicago Sky.

Clark was on the receiving end of a hard foul from Sky guard Chennedy Carter and a rough box out against fellow rookie Angel Reese – both players saw the sharpshooter hit the deck.

The Carter play was the one that garnered the most attention on social media. Carter also appeared to call Clark a "b----" before leveling her with a hip-check.

"The players in the WNBA need to realize that (Caitlin) Clark is helping all of them, now and in the long run. (Caitlin) is the tide that will raise all boats!" Navratilova wrote on X.

Navratilova further explained she believed Clark’s impact on the WNBA game will have a greater financial effect on the league. When challenged about Clark’s own trash talking during the game, the former tennis superstar maintained she was only calling out the "dirty play."

"I never said she was a saint," Navratilova added. "I was calling out a dirty play, which was also stupid. If you want to go after someone, do it from the front. That’s all. Better yet – block their shots and win the game – that’s the best revenge."

Carter finished with 19 points in the 71-70 loss. She played 30 minutes off the bench. She wouldn’t answer any questions about Clark in the postgame press conference.

"I wasn't expecting that, but it's just, 'Respond, calm down and let your play do the talking.' It is what it is," Clark said of the Carter incident, via the Indy Star.

The Fever are back in action on Sunday night against the New York Liberty.

The official Facebook page for the U.S. Navy SEALs and Naval Special Warfare Command was mocked this weekend for marking the start of "pride month."

Backlash to the post surged when it was highlighted on the popular "Libs of TikTok" page on X, formerly known as Twitter. The post had no caption and included a photo with rainbow designs that read, "NSW. Dignity. Service. Respect. Equality. Pride."

Libs of TikTok shared the post to X on Saturday, writing, "The Navy SEALs have gone woke. Our elite special forces. This is terrifying."

The special warfare account took steps to limit the accounts that can comment on their post, suggesting administrators knew it would be controversial.

The comment section was nevertheless full of criticism.

"This is a slap in the face of every special warfare operator that has put their lives on the line for our nation," one person wrote.

"Man this woke s--- is like a cancer and needs to be handled and dealt with as a threat to national security. Gone way too far," another person said.

Not every comment was critical, however, with some users saying the post was positive.

"Fantastic!! Thanks for recognizing our strength is in our differences!" one person wrote.

Social media accounts for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force made no mention of Pride month on Saturday.

The incident comes after the Department of Defense (DoD) appeared to mix up Pride Month and PTSD Awareness Month in a social media post on Saturday.

In an X post published on Saturday afternoon, the Pentagon explained that June marks PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Awareness Month. The commemorative month was first recognized by the U.S. government in June 2014, a year before June also officially became Pride Month.

"June is PTSD Awareness Month and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD," the post read. 

"If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available," the DoD added. "You are not alone."

But the picture attached to the post read "Celebrate Pride Month 2024" with a Progress Pride Flag graphic. The tweet was later deleted and replaced with a PTSD Awareness Month graphic.
