Caitlin Clark, the savior of women’s basketball, has been under attack since arriving in the WNBA. Every time I unlock my phone, I see a new clip of Caitlin on the receiving end of a cheap shot or flagrant foul. These women cannot contain their hate for the biggest star in the sport’s history.
In college, her Iowa team was in a blood feud with LSU—facing each other in back-to-back NCAA March Madness tournaments and exposing how classless LSU star, Angel Reese was. Well, Saturday afternoon saw the return of the Caitlin Clark/Angel Reese rivalry as the Chicago Sky flew into Indiana to jump Caitlin.

Angel Reese is classless. Her reaction to her teammate shoulder checking Caitlin Clark to the ground… ‘me and and Caitlin Clark do not hate each other’
Yeah right. pic.twitter.com/wHAneeBUus— sj.💎 (@shawnamj_) June 1, 2024
Chennedy Carter assaulted Caitlin Clark while Angel Reese celebrated like she paid the bounty. Disgusting behavior from two women who are jealous of Clark and of course they are.
She signed a Nike shoe deal. Caitlin has a signature shoe and they don’t. Well, Breanna Stewart does too, and so does Sabrina Ionescu and Elena Delle Donne did—and Diana Taurasi, oh and Candace Parker at one point and Lisa Leslie and Rebecca Lobo and Sheryl Swoopes too.
Indiana Fever games are sold out. I mean, so are the Las Vegas Aces—in a city where people have a million other ways to spend 2 hours of their time compared to Indiana where Fever games are the only place you can get a cold beer after 9pm.
She forced the WNBA to upgrade team travel to charter flights, even though the New York Liberty tried to give their players charter flights last year but were reprimanded by the league for choosing to spend money on their team, thus giving the Liberty an advantage over the 11 other owners who pretend to be living in poverty.
And not to mention Caitlin’s looks. They’re jealous of our beautiful queen. She looks like Bob Saget and Rob Van Dam had a baby with a marsupial and they hate her for it.
Caitlin Clark is a tiny, frail woman compared to these thugs tossing her through the hardwood—even though Caitlin Clark is 6-foot, 153 pounds and Chennedy Carter is 5-foot-9, 140 pounds.
Chennedy Carter, Angel Reese and the rest of the WNBA should be on their hands and knees bowing down to Caitlin for all the attention she’s bringing to the league.
Sure, almost 99% of all Caitlin Clark discussions devolve into anything from meaningless culture war bullshit to bad faith, uninformed race debates—none of which have anything to do with what Clark actually does on a basketball court thus not exactly translating into more folks tuning in and caring about the games and the WNBA can’t monetize off outrage click bait or think pieces so her value to the league may be vastly overblown.
All I know is we must protect Caitlin Clark from the big scary women attacking her every night or else the entire league will fold or something. The WNBA needs to hand out lifetime bans for any player who dares look at Caitlin sideways (as long as they also ignore all the taunting, shit talking and annoying little elbows she throws all game that cause these women to flip out at her.)
