Connor McCaffery recently accompanied Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates to participate in a charity pickleball match, according to Bleacher Report. McCaffery, alongside Clark, Erica Wheeler, and Lexie Hull lent their athletic talents to the pickleball sphere for a good cause. However, all social media seemed to care about is McCaffery’s lack of on-court coordination. After videos of the match made their way online, Clark’s fans didn’t seem super interested in seeing her flaunt her range of athletic abilities. Instead, they seemed to delight in dragging her boyfriend’s lack of pickleball skills.

“Connor isn’t taking this seriously, Caitlin needs someone out there with more competitive. Caitlin and Temi when her hand is better would be awesome!” tweeted one fan. Connor could have slammed that ball …. he chose not to ….. is there some pickleball rule against slamming the ball???” wrote a second fan. A third fan resorted to name-calling. “Bf is lame there. Common, man,” they tweeted. Meanwhile, another user dissed McCaffery’s basketball skills, writing, “Can Connor play pickleball because he can’t play basketball.” Interestingly, another user claimed that McCaffery had an unfair advantage. “Connor’s height makes it unfair sides .. nice to see her just having fun!” they wrote.
Tough crowd!
