The Indiana Fever have been the center of a ton of stories since selecting Caitlin Clark in the 2024 WNBA Draft. One of those stories involved a foul on Clark by DiJonai Carrington of the Connecticut Sun. Unfortunately, one byproduct of that event is uncomfortable statements being hurled at certain players around the league. Caitlin Clark does not agree with these messages, and one former NFL wide receiver praises her for that stance
“I’m glad she feel this way,” Bryant wrote, in response to an image that describes Clark’s opposition to having her name used to push racism and misogyny. “I feel sorry for Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Like I said before, I blame it on the media.”
Bryant is referring to controversy surrounding Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese. Clark suffered a flagrant foul form Chicago’s Chennedy Carter in a game earlier this season. Reese gained a lot of negative attention for sticking up for her teammate.
“[Clark] didn’t ask for all the non sense,” Bryant continued. “Imagine being in this situation imagine, how hard it is to express your real self in this type of situation.”
Clark recently addressed the situation surrounding her constant media frenzy.
The Fever got off to a hot start, putting up 59 points in the first half and entering halftime with a 15-point advantage. At one point, Indiana had an 18-point lead, their largest of the season.
