Once again, Caitlin Clark’s fanbase is up in arms following fiery comments from Joy Taylor. This week, the former Fox Sports commentator delivered a scathing criticism of Clark’s supporters while giving the Indiana Fever star her flowers for her recent heroics.
In the TikTok clip, Taylor had savory words for Clark’s fans, whom she accused of being a toxic collective within the WNBA community.
“Caitlin has become an incredibly controversial figure in sports. She has a very feral fanbase, not always necessarily the most educated fanbase when it comes to the W.”
Taylor piled on Clark’s fans for their adverse reactions to her arguments with referees. As for Clark herself, Taylor said that she was glad to see the two-time WNBA All-Star steer the discourse back to the sport.
“On Monday, she did what she is famous for, which is hitting a clutch three-pointer…I like seeing this moment and her having the opportunity to get that win.”
Taylor is referring to the June 8 matchup between the Fever and the Washington Mystics, in which Clark hit the first game-winning shot of her WNBA career. By sealing the 78-76 victory for Indiana, CC made fans focus more on her clutch gene rather than her quarrels with officials.
Sophie Cunningham Denies Rumors That She Was Suspended After Posting Caitlin Clark Meme
In that Monday night game against the Mystics, it was Sophie Cunningham who threw the inbounds pass that led to Clark’s game-winner. Following the game, Cunningham shared a meme suggesting that she and Clark didn’t exactly follow the play drawn up by head coach Stephanie Fever.
On an episode of her “Show Me Something” podcast, Cunningham clarified that she wasn’t in hot water for posting this meme.
“I saw that and we all thought it was hilarious and everybody thinks I was suspended. No.”
Cunningham clarified that the play was designed for none other than Clark to get open, courtesy of a Lexie Hull cross screen.
