Caitlin Clark Fans Go Off on Fever Management After Clark is Named in TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in Sports

Caitlin Clark Fans Go Off on Fever Management After Clark is Named in TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in Sports

In her last game, Clark made a last-second shot from way out to win the game.

Even the Washington team’s broadcasters were impressed.


However, the response from Clark’s coach after the shot was unimpressed at best. She looked mad. Many believe the play was drawn up for other players.

Basketball great Mychal Thompson says that despite Clark’s greatness, the Fever team doesn’t want her. The all-time scoring leader in college history for men’s or women’s basketball is not wanted in Indianapolis. The team makes millions off of Clark but the team envies her and wants to change her.

Fans can see it and are calling for Clark’s trade to a team that will let her play and be great. The Fever don’t like her greatness.

This is why fans went off on the Fever’s back office when COO Amer Cox called Clark the “needle” in women’s basketball after Caitlin Clark was named to @TIME’s 100 most influential people in sports 2026 list.

Here are the fan’s reactions on social media.

And…

And…

Clark fans want Clark out of Indy and in an organization with a good coach and back office.

    • Because the Hoft's have a thing for men and women much younger than them. Joe might have a wet dream every night about her. I wouldn't be surprised if both brothers were involved in Epstein garbage. They seem to be infatuated with people much younger than them.

    • You beat me to it. Joe is obsessed with her. But it used to be Jim who was obsessed with her for some weird reason.

    • You beat me to it. Joe is obsessed with her. But it used to be Jim who was obsessed with her for some weird reason.

    • I've never watched a woman's basketball game in my life, but since Joe has been writing about KK, I have been extremely interested not so much because of basketball but because of her extreme talent and the way she's being treated because the black girls cannot face the reality that a white girl is better than them and angers me so much the way they treat her and the way the weak & woke referees, coaches, and everyone involved the network or organization have been handling this situation and of course it brings me to the fact I hate the NBA. It is nothing but a Chinese atheist organization that is anti-American, and since it funds this basketball league, I am sure that it condones what's going on and more than likely promotes it. Send the NBA to China. We don't need it here and only support the team that KK ends up on and fight if they mistreat her. We worship not me, but American men worship, black athletes & are not jealous, put them on pedestals, and make them some of the richest people on earth. This tells us who is racist and it is not us white folks.

    • Riiiight. Nobody cares about the most outstanding player in basketball history. Even in the NBA, nobody was that much better than everyone else, except maybe Wilt Chamberlain.

  1. Clark has nothing to whine about, she has white privilege, don't take my word for it she said it herself.

    • She had this play for kelsey Mitchell so I'm sure mittchell would have missed any shot she took. So she is most likely trying to lose. In this game they were 17 points ahead.

      • Actually, the play was a much better setup for Clark than for Mitchell. All White said about it after the game was the the play was designed by a guy on the coaching staff. She didn't say for whom it was primarily designed. There was no way Mitchell would have been able to get wide open for a shot.

    • Gotta wonder, don't we… I was amazed when White paired Clark up with Stewart. The Fever's best defender should have been on Stewart the entire game. Making Clark guard Stewart obviously degraded Clark's offense. In my book, that was deliberate…

  2. Sent a personal message to her via good friends attending the wedding of their niece, one of CC's Iowa teammates and where she was a bridesmaid;

    "Please, I'm begging you, Caitlin, don't go to the WNBA! They'll chew you up and spit you out! Maybe play in Europe, or anywhere but the Mean Girl/Lizzy League!"

    She didn't listen and it's been all downhill for her since. She asked for it and is getting it good and hard, so I don't feel sorry for her at all. For sure the coach, and probably many of the Fever players obviously hate CC's guts.

  3. I have to admit she did say one of the stupidest things I ever heard when she said she's where she's at because of her white privilege. White guilt has no place in a merit based society.

    • I realize Clark works with a lot of 'sisters' who hate her guts because of her skin color and talent. Spewing nonsense about white privilege is not helpful. So, all the practices she did and games she played to get good, no black girl would have the same opportunity? Please. Placating to these idiots will get you nowhere. They still hate you…

      • Sports is all they have and whites now have black privilege to spend every minute running a playing while the gubnet pays for their lives. Brains and ability would put put blacks on the bench in 20 years ….Rut-Roe-Stradamus

    • Typical liberal nonsense. These woke elites will literally blame their own hard work on some fake privilege just to satisfy the mainstream media narrative.

      It is pathetic watching people apologize for winning, but thankfully real Americans are seeing right through it and Trump is bringing back actual merit. My taxes are finally dropping under this administration, which helps big time along with saving cash on my $25 a month car insurance from InsurancePanda and getting that $40 a month phone bill from Mint Mobile.

      The deep state hates seeing people succeed on their own merits without big government handouts.

    • I didn't know she said that. SO I won't even give her credit that she's the best in WNBA
      cause most of them s ck anyway.

      • Yes…unfortunately, Clark appears to be a lefty… She should keep her mouth shut regarding politics…

    • So a very young white girl who is trying her best to fit into a league of black lesbian women says something that ALL young white people are being taught in school to say, is stupid? How many world records have you set bubba? How many millions of dollars have you earned by the time you were 24? How many millions of dollars have you donated to multiple charities? How much financial pressure did you have when you were 24? Yeah, she's really stupid because she repeates what she's been taught for 16 years in public schools!

      • She parroted anti white messaging that’s designed to tarnish all white achievements, instill guilt and self hatred into whites, while simultaneously scapegoating whites for everything that’s wrong with the world.

        Considering the fact she’s an extraordinarily high profile female athlete, arguably the most well known ever and the bulk of her fans are young white girls, who are highly impressionable- I’d say what she did was highly egregious.

        Whether she understands all of this is debatable but the intent of this messaging isn’t- it’s radical Marxist ideology designed to reinforce the oppression lie. It’s divisive, racist, hateful, toxic propaganda. The exact type of messaging used in South Africa during the lead up to the Marxist takeover and government led seizure of white property, purge of whites from the workforce, violence directed towards whites.

        As the rapidly declining majority in America, this rhetoric is highly problematic and must be universally rejected by all whites

        • My God! One stupid statement and you turn it into a life condemning cause! You need help my friend!

          • I don’t give a hoot what she says. I don’t look up to her nor think she’s particularly impressive on the court. But as I said, her primary fan base is little girls who do look up to her and in that case, stuff like this matters.

            Also I’m not condemning her life but the anti white race rhetoric is extremely dangerous for the country and I definitely take note whenever I see someone propagating it. It’s the kind of rhetoric that fuels incidents like Austin Metcalf’s. It’s the kind of teachings that creates rabid anti white racists, like the type seen orbiting Karmelo’s trial. The type to justify blacks murdering whites regardless of facts, evidence and the events leading up to it.

            If we allow that Marxist propaganda to continue, if we allow the left’s oppression narrative to take hold like it did in South Africa during the latter part of last century- you end up with a country just like South Africa today.

            Which country do you think will be generous enough to accept American refugees fleeing persecution?!!

            I cannot emphasize this point enough- the exact same rhetoric is being used here. The “othering”, lies about our founders, national history, colonialism, slavery, white privilege, the oppression paradigm, CRT, black victimhood, etc

            Every time whites parrot the messaging and/or displays symptoms of “white guilt,” it affirms the lies and makes them harder to refute.

            When someone like Clark does it, the impact multiplies by 1000 or more!

            For all I or you know, she might GENUINELY feel that way and all any of her fans have to go off is what she says & does.

            If that were the case, would you still run to defend her from online criticism?!

            Speaking of which, you must be a woman, because only women and blacks reflexively come to the defense of their tribe. A habit that rears its head any time a woman receives criticism. Why women who don’t even know the other woman feel compelled to do so, I’ll never understand.

            Or are you one of the “useful idiot” whites, who tries to prove you’re one of the good whites by repeating all of the left wing talking points ad nauseam?

            Because mark my words, when the blacks, Arabs and all of the other disenfranchised groups of people are fully worked to a mob frenzy, none of them are going to waste a second sorting through good whites and MAGA whites…

      • Get up off of your knees and look it up.

        She absolutely said it and did so more than once.

        I don't care about her self hatred, but what she did helps to cheapen white achievement.

        In basketball, being white works against you.

    • Yes she did. She no doubt was told to say that BS but it doesn’t excuse it one bit. Especially considering that by saying it, she wasn’t only throwing her race under the bus, she threw her predominantly white fan base under the bus.

      • Yea it was stupid, if she was 5’2″ and couldn’t shoot 3 pointers her white privilege wouldn’t get her a place handing out towels in the WNBA.

    • I've been white all my life and all the privilege in the world wouldn't help me casually shoot 3 pointers in a lifetime.
      She's a phenom and no apologies are necessary from her.
      She reminds me of Larry Bird in the old days. Women are are just too catty to show proper respect.

  4. I have to admit she did say one of the stupidest things I ever heard when she said she's where she's at because of her white privilege. White guilt has no place in a merit based society.

  5. Ask for remembering people, Caitlin Clark is as Donald Trump, and Obama is as Jasmine Crockett..

  6. Okay, is Caitlin really a Calvin? Is she a man, or did someone photoshop her picture to make her look like one?

  7. People must be really bored or have nothing in life to watch the failed WNBA league. It should have folded years ago because it never made money and is only around because of the CCP loving NBA.

  8. Caitlin Clark: One of the 100 most influential Kamalho supporters in the sports …

    Caitlin Clark is a SUPER-LIB, and a sworn enemy of America.

  9. Clark is woke, endorsed Harris, and probably hates everyone here. Joe’s in love her for some reason anyway.

  10. Joe Hoft writes articles like a elementary school child. It's alright to use compound sentences, I'm sure the readers will still understand.

  11. CC put Indiana on the map and they can't handle it! CC, Sophie Cunningham and a couple others made us watch this team. I never watched the WNBA in my life until CC made it so great! Don't mess with her! Perhaps give her a raise!!! She make your team watchable!

  12. It's not the Fever fans love so much, it's CC. Where she goes the fans will follow.
    I lived in Fort Wayne, then Indy for a few years before moving out of state. However, when living in Indiana I never heard anyone mention the Fever in any conversations as if they did not exist. Now, when I talk with anyone there, somewhere in the conversation CC and the Fever management pops up. They see the changes in CC and blame the DEI management/coaches, not CC.

  13. What a shock. The biggest star in women's basketball keeps proving she's the main attraction and some people still act like she's just another player. Fans aren't blind. They can see when a franchise seems uncomfortable with the very person putting them on the map.

    And that's the problem. America is winning under Trump because results matter more than office politics and jealousy. I'm still trying to stay ahead of the bills but my car insurance with InsurancePanda ($25 a month) and my phone bill with Mint Mobile ($40 a month) have been two solid wins lately. Lower groceries help too and people recognize talent when they see it.

    The left and the media always seem to resent the people who become bigger than the system.

  14. I use to be big time NBA fanatic and I played everyday as kid teenager 20 something and I still
    play in a local league for fun but I can't watch woke WNBA nor NBA or NFL either! I've had enough.
    I still think I could beat most of players in WNBA! I think most high schools boys play better!

  15. Someone should check COO Amer Cox and Coach Stephanie White's bank accounts for possible Kalshi or Polymarket betting activities.

  16. Would they be treated differently…..

    If Caitlin Clark was Black or…..

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was White….

    If yes to either one……you might be a racist…..????

  17. Would they be treated differently…..

    If Caitlin Clark was Black or…..

    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was White….

    If yes to either one……you might be a racist…..????

  18. CC has brought such energy and good for Indiana. The people love her, little girls look up to her. She has grown the WNBA almost single handily.
    The people want her here, it would be better for all if the head office and coaching dept. were replaced.
    She leaves Indiana, kiss the franchise good bye,

  19. It's up to Caitlin Clark to remove herself from this horrible situation. It seems like she likes being a martyr.

  20. "They" are trying their best to make me care about WNBA but it's not working.
    I don't care about soccer either.
    Caitlin Clark is a superior athlete but so what?? A basketball player?

  21. Her "coach" and "teammates" do not deserve to have her on their "team".
    She should look for a place where her talent and skillset will be appreciated instead of envied.
    "White privilege" did not get her on the Iowa team nor the Fever. She should know that and acknowledge that she herself worked for all she has, and it was not skin color that got her where she is.

  22. These jealous unimpressive c*nts do not want anyone on their team better than they think they are. The can go eff themselves.

  23. The WNBA should have embraced her but it's been the opposite. Caitlin is awesome but I'll never support the Fever or the entire league. Their true colors are quite ugly & nasty…just go away.

  24. Saterday Fever at NY set records in TV ratings 2.5M. The top 11 WNBA ratings in the last 25 years all include Clark..

  25. The Fever is ran by the rainbow mafia. She doesn’t fit in. From a coaching standpoint, they are using her as a point guard and she is performing very well. First in the league in assists and fifth in scoring, but she would be better off playing the two instead of one and go back to being a scorer. That would cut down her turnovers and improve her shot selection. That being said, it’s the WNBA, no one cares.

  26. CC & Sophie Need To Concentrate On Their Golf Games.
    With a good coach they could make the LPGA cut one day soon.
    She's pretty good, already playing in a Pro-Am game.

  27. TThe Fever should fire head coach Stephanie White, and replace her with Cheryl Miller. Miller and Caitlyn Clark got along great in last year's International games and won.

    Stephanie White is a terrible coach. Get rid of her.

  28. It seems they either need to get rid of the coach or Collins Clark. What they are doing now seems to be unproductive for anyone.

    edit" I typed the wrong name, thank you to sailcat for pointing it out.

  29. Did you see that smile right after swishing that shot? She's saying, yeah I know I'm bad….

  30. Thanks for the handshake reveal. Clark really did NOT look at White…that is a HUGE reveal. Shows us there is a lot more friction than Clark is letting on.

  31. I saved this:

    The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance….
    I've Needed a Doctor..
    I've Needed a Teacher..
    I NEED farmers every day..
    I Need Truck Drivers every day.
    I have NEEDED an auto mechanic, plumber, a house painter and a lot of other everyday people.
    But I have NEVER, not even once:
    NEEDED a pro athlete, a media personality, or a Hollywood entertainer for ANYTHING!

    She plays a game for a living. WTH influence is that?!

  32. Reminds me of the scene from Top Gun when Kelly McGillis told Tom Cruise that he shot the enemy plane down the wrong way.

  33. F her! She lost all respect when she bent a knee and apologized for being white! What a f'n fool. She's only good because she is playing against women that couldn't beat my 13yr old nephew.

  34. CC's no looker for sure but Time couldn't find a better picture of her for their cover? Imagine the outrage if they put a shot of Reese or Michele (my Belle) on a National magazine cover with a scowl like that.

  35. I wish every one would shut up and take a back seat on this. Let her play ball. Fairly and not harassed. It is fun to watch.

  36. Amazing basketball player. Caitlin, is stand up on the court and off the court. Keep on, keeping on Caitlin!!
