At first, it seemed that the Indiana Fever’s home win over Chicago Sky on Saturday would be just another spicy chapter in the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Both players were typically excellent: Clark spurred the Fever to victory with a triple-double, while Reese grabbed 17 rebounds to go with her 12 points. But it was a moment in the third quarter that WNBA fans will be talking about for weeks to come. Some of them may even do so without resorting to cheap bigotry. With 4:38 remaining, Clark reached for the ball over Reese’s head, made what...

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese didn't need long to reignite their bitter rivalry after going at it on the court during a fiery WNBA season opener. Tempers flared between the two women's basketball superstars when Reese took exception to Clark's hard foul with 4:38 left in the third quarter as the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky got their 2025 campaigns up and running. After Reese grabbed an offensive rebound, Clark slapped the Sky forward across the arm, knocking the ball away and her arch-nemesis to the floor. Angel, who was visibly furious, quickly jumped up and confronted Caitlin as Fever...

Two of the WNBA's best young stars had to be separated during the second half of Saturday afternoon's season-opening contest between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. Following a hard foul from Caitlin Clark on a layup that found Angel Reese on the ground, the Sky forward quickly jolted herself up off the floor and went after the Fever guard. She was held back by teammates—and a referee—as Clark walked away from the scuffle. Here's a look at both the play and the resulting drama: Clark was assessed a flagrant foul on the play, while both Reese and Clark's...

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was on the receiving end of some brutal treatment by the Washington Mystics in the first preseason game of her WNBA season. The Fever played without star Caitlin Clark, who was absent due to a minor injury that was described as 'a little tightness' in her left leg. So it was Cunningham that led the way for Indiana. However, she didn't do so without a bit of bruising. In the second quarter, Cunningham was fighting for a rebound with Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen. Iriafen had her arm wrapped around Cunningham's torso and then flung her...

Caitlin Clark has maintained that she benefits from 'white privilege' amid her WNBA success, despite previously suffering severe backlash to her previous comments on the issue. The Indiana Fever star first addressed the topic of race in the WNBA in December when she was named TIME Magazine's Athlete of the Year, acknowledging the 'white privilege' that fell her way as she entered the league and drove up the interest levels. The 23-year-old faced criticism over her comments at the time but that hasn't deterred her as she doubled down on the stance in her episode on David Letterman's Netflix show,...

Breitbart News @BreitbartNews @CaitlinClark22: "The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.” 10:46 PM · Apr 8, 2025

Coming off an outstanding rookie season in the WNBA, Caitin Clark has been named "Athlete of the Year" by TIME. Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson took exception to that decision, saying it's unfair to give Clark all the credit for the WNBA's rise in popularity. In an interview with CNN, Johnson said that all the focus on Clark has taken the spotlight away from other elite players across the league. "We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognized, and I don't think we can just pin it on one player," Johnson said. When asked why Clark was...

U.S. — WNBA player Caitlin Clark explained in an interview with TIME that she has been the beneficiary of white privilege, which strangely feels a lot like getting the crap kicked out of her by giant black lesbians. Though she admitted that "white privilege" was a bit of a nebulous term, Clark explained that she seemed to most often experience it as getting punched in the face or elbowed in the stomach. "The fact is, I clearly have experienced white privilege. No one else gets beat up routinely on national television by enormous black lesbians," explained Clark. "That's obviously a...

Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s first international superstar, has taken a sharp turn down the path of woke politics, leaving many of her fans disheartened. Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise—bolstered by her jaw-dropping, record-setting college career and stellar rookie season in the WNBA—seemed to offer a much-needed respite from the league’s ongoing struggles with dwindling viewership and ideological conformity. But instead of sticking to what made her a star, Clark appears to be prioritizing progressive virtue-signaling over her unique identity, alienating fans who admired her for standing tall amidst the leftist noise in professional sports. In her Time interview after being named...

Few jobs require less physical exertion than rebounding for Caitlin Clark. On an early-November morning in downtown Indianapolis, Clark, the two-time college national player of the year for the University of Iowa, reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year from the Indiana Fever, and emergent American sports icon, sprints to different spots along the three-point line at the Fever practice gym, trying to bang as many shots as possible over a six-minute span. A Fever coach has tasked me with standing under the basket to retrieve her misses. But as Clark runs all over the court to launch long-range bombs, I...

After often remaining silent about her name being used in cultural disputes, Caitlin Clark has spoken up. The WNBA phenom was named Time's Athlete of the Year after putting women's basketball and women's sports on the map. After she entered the league, there were several comments made about her being White. WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson said Clark being White was a "huge thing" when it came to Clark's popularity. Angel Reese even said there had been "a lot of racism" from Iowa and Indiana Fever fans. Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington, who poked Clark in the eye during a Connecticut...

The Indiana Fever on Sunday announced that they have “parted ways” with Coach Christie Sides – probably the most worthless coach in the history of basketball. ... it wasn’t her coaching style that elevated the team—it was Caitlin Clark’s undeniable star power. ...

The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is taking a slightly different approach to her offseason than most of her peers. ... Clark — the standout rookie who almost single-handedly turned around the historically moribund Indiana Fever franchise this past season — will compete in The Annika pro-am come November. ... the penultimate event of the LPGA Tour, and it will take place in Belleair, Florida.

The first weekend of the WNBA playoffs without rookie phenom Caitlin Clark were a bit quieter in terms of attention and viewership. After Clark drew a WNBA record 1.84 million viewers to her first playoff game against the Connecticut Sun on Sept. 22, while competing with an NFL Sunday, she followed it up with another record audience of 2.54 million viewers for Game 2. Clark and the Indiana Fever lost both those games, however, sending Clark home for the offseason. Now, the remaining teams contending for the WNBA title are the New York Liberty, the defending champion Las Vegas Aces...

(NewsNation) — USA Today columnist Christine Brennan is the target of the WNBA Players’ Association over a question Brennan posed over the eye poke that rookie star Caitlin Clark suffered in a playoff game. “USA Today Sports should explain why a reporter with clear bias and ulterior motives was assigned to cover the league,” said WNBA Players’ Association executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson in a statement, which also called on USA Today to discipline Brennan. At issue are the questions Brennan posed to Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington the day after Carrington gave Clark a black eye during the first...

Caitlin Clark took a brutal poke to the face in her WNBA playoff debut on Sunday night - leaving the Indiana Fever rookie with a black eye. Clark's first playoff appearance up in the big leagues did not go to plan as the Fever slumped to a 93-69 defeat against the Connecticut Sun. And not only did she struggle in the game - with her return of 11 points a lot lower than she's become accustomed to this season - but the 22-year-old was also left rolling around on the floor in pain early on after being struck in the...

Caitlin Clark's historic rookie season continued on Friday night. The Indiana Fever guard recorded her 317th assist of the year in the second quarter against the Las Vegas Aces, setting a new WNBA single-season record. Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas held the previous record of 316, which was set in 2023. Clark has continued to make history throughout her first year in the WNBA, surpassing the single-season three-point record among rookies on Aug. 28. She also dished out 19 assists in a loss to the Dallas Wings in July, setting a single-game record. Fans were amazed by her latest accomplishment:...

After going months on end without jumping into the political fray – Caitlin Clark endorsed the “childless cat lady.” Look for the legacy media to suddenly discover a new-found love for Caitlin. We will see how this plays out with her fans. Just this week Angel Reese and the WNBA brass were labeling Caitlin Clark fans as “racist.” Now what will they do? Don’t expect this website to be posting much more on Caitlin Clark’s career for awhile. The country’s at stake and she just endorsed tyranny.

Well, it appears the WNBA and Indiana Fever star was a fan of the post from Swift because she liked it on Instagram. You can see a screenshot of Clark's like below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com. Now, some people might want to read into this and make it a huge deal. It shouldn't be. Clark is free to support any politician or like any social media post that she wants. Will this now being very public stir some controversy? Sure, but it shouldn't. Caitlin Clark isn't parading around cheering for Kamala Harris to be President. She...
