Which is fine, but you can’t knee me in the leg. Knock me over.”The physical punishment Clark has endured this season has been a highly debated topic that’s expanded even beyond the sports world, with members of Congress and even President Donald Trump weighing in.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”They said Caitlin initiated the contact.
