Bill Maher calls out Caitlin Clark's teammates not rushing to defend her: 'Women are catty'

'The Big Weekend Show' hosts discuss WNBA player Caitlin Clark's success and her positive effect on the league despite uproar.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher lambasted the teammates of WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark after the controversial foul against her, chalking it up in part because "women are catty."

Maher began by playing the viral clip of Clark being shoved to the ground by Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter, but quickly called attention to how an Indiana Fever teammate nearby didn't rush to help her up.

"See if this was men, they'd defend each other on their same team," Maher said Friday. "I mean, men will fight from two teams, but when somebody checks you on who's on your team, you defend that guy. I'm just saying men have their bad parts. We're toxic. We're dogs. Only women would do this."

"Women are catty," Maher continued. "Even the ones on your own team."

Maher went on to quote former NBA player Matt Barnes, who said "My issue and my question is, where the f--- are her teammates at?… I’ve seen a couple of girls smirk when she’s got knocked down, half-ass to pick her up… "You guys are supposed to be a family… It’s your guys’ f---ing job to have her back, and to have each others’ backs."
