Through no fault of her own, Caitlin Clark is once again at the center of the latest WNBA controversy. 

Dreams Coming True for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever

Over the weekend, the Indiana Fever defeated Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in blowout fashion, 93-58. After that game ended, the WNBA said it was looking into hateful messages that were allegedly made toward Reese.

Clark showed her true character by saying racism, hate, and discrimination have no place in the WNBA.

“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society. Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience.

I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that,” Clark said.

This isn’t the first time that Clark has condemned hateful remarks from WNBA fans. A similar situation unfolded during her rookie season with the Fever.

Even though Clark continues to handle every obstacle thrown her way with class, Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports suggested that she could leave the WNBA behind and actually build a better product.

“You know what’s crazy. If Caitlin Clark just woke up one morning and decided she was sick of the @WNBA [expletive] and decided to start her own league which wouldn’t be that difficult with her star power she’d put the WNBA out of business in 2 years,” Portnoy wrote on social media.

Some fans agree with Portnoy that Clark might be better off leaving the WNBA.

“Have thought this. She could basically start women’s LIV for basketball and would need the WNBA. Barstool and Jordan behind it. It would dominate,” one fan replied.

“This is actually genius,” another fan said.

“WBL Women’s Basketball League Make it happen. Would be a super smart marketing strategy imo. Long as NBA is connected the WNBA it will always sit in the shadows,” a third fan added.

Caitlin Clark ready take the WNBA by storm: 'This is what you've worked for'

Obviously, Clark hasn’t shown any indication that she wants to ditch the WNBA after just 41 career games.

Clark wants to help women’s basketball reach new heights. Unless she’s presented with an offer she can’t refuse, we highly doubt she’ll even consider leaving the WNBA.
