The Real Reason Why Caitlin Clark Is So Controversial

WNBA pundits often indicate that Caitlin Clark’s rabid followers are not only ignorant about the league, but they also pose a danger to all the players involved. Take Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who was lambasted by fans on social media after delivering a shoulder check on Clark during a game early in June. One Clark fan later tried to accost Carter at a hotel in Washington, D.C. prior to the team playing the hometown Mystics.

“WOW!!! Thank GOD for security,” posted Sky forward Isabelle Harrison on X after the incident. “My teammate being harassed at our hotel is insane! Couldn’t even step off the bus!!!” Even Clark’s Indiana Fever comrades have felt the wrath of that following, especially when they were struggling early in the season. “I spoke with [Fever forward-center] Aliyah Boston and she said, ‘I had to delete Twitter from my phone,'” said ESPN reporter Holly Rowe (via X). “She said the only safe app right now is TikTok, where it’s friendly and she can scroll past if there’s anything negative.”

Still, regardless of which team uniform a WNBA athlete wears, most of them have obviously had enough. “It’s troubling to even speak out on bc I know half the responses will be filled with slurs and making excuses for unacceptable behavior,” posted Chicago Sky forward Brianna Turner on X. “I know we all have different values and outlooks, but the discourse as of late is disingenuous to say the least.”
