Caitlin Clark is arguably the face of the WNBA and the biggest new star to come out of the basketball world in the last few years. However, the league seemed to forget about its darling budding star in a post on X on Wednesday. It included a poster featuring some of the biggest names in WNBA history for its 30th anniversary. Two former NFL quarterbacks were not happy about Clark’s omission.
Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart called out the snub with one simple question in a quote post on X on Wednesday.
“Where’s Caitlin?” he asked.
Former Washington Commanders quarterback Robert Griffin III listed several names that he believed deserved to be included on the list, starting with Clark.
“No Caitlin Clark on this poster is RIDICULOUS,” he posted. “No Diana Taurasi. No Sue Bird. No Tamika Catchings. No Candace Parker. No Elena Delle Donne. No Cynthia Cooper. No Sylvia Fowles. RIDICULOUS. You can’t tell the 30 year history of the WNBA without these women.”
With pressure building for an edit, one can only wait to see if the WNBA bends to the demands.
Robert Griffin III reacts to brutal Caitlin Clark clip as WNBA star rebounds back into 2024 form
Robert Griffin III has been tuned into the WNBA and is apparently transfixed by the game during the NFL offseason. In the span of one day, Griffin posted twice about the Fever star. The second post came to her defense in a video clip that saw three players fall on Clark, with one seemingly pushing on her neck on purpose during a game.
“Caitlin Clark and every WNBA player should be protected from this targeted behavior,” RGIII posted.
As Griffin is likely well aware, the video comes from the star’s third season. However, she didn’t waste time announcing her arrival in her rookie year. Clark’s sensational rookie season set sky-high expectations in 2024 in her first season with the Indiana Fever. In her first season, she won Rookie of the Year and finished fourth in MVP voting. Injuries slowed her down in 2025, but she still managed to earn an all-star appearance.
In 2026, she has been working at a greater pace than in her rookie season, with 21.2 points per game compared to 19.2 ppg in 2024, which got her within arm’s reach of her first MVP. Will she make another run?
