On Tuesday night, Clark was hit in the eye and knocked to the floor during the Fever’s laugher against Connecticut. The Sun’s Marina Mabrey only received a technical foul and stayed in the game.
Lust tweeted of the cheap shot: “How was nobody ejected? @WNBA this is crazy…poke to the eye more intentionally than a UFC fight lol then another player comes and knocks down,”
Clark also received a technical foul, as did Jacy Sheldon, who hit the biggest star in women’s basketball in the face.

The incident on Tuesday is just the latest in a long stream of attacks on Clark, who has single-handedly raised the profile of the women’s game and whose team sells out wherever they play.
“I think it’s either gonna be her getting hurt or a fight for the WNBA to finally take action. Other top players in the league speaking up would help also,” the multi-Adult Video News award winner Lust told Outkick.com.
Mabrey and Sheldon have not been alone in playing bully ball. There have been innumerable incidents.
After a minor foul last season, arch-rival Angel Reese slammed Clark to the ground. The Fever star also took a clothesline to the head.
Lust, 46, who is known to be an ardent fan of UFC, has appeared in 585 porn videos.
