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.
And just so people know , Kelsey Mitchell was the primary option on this play & Caitlin Clark was the secondary option. Sophie made the decision to give it to cc as the inbound defender took away the Kelsey pass. That’s y the pass was late

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.
Watch Caitlin’s facial expression change as she low fives Stephanie White after that game winner. Goes from smiling to no facial expression & no eye contact with SW, back to smiling. pic.twitter.com/0kBPjQboSj

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.
Mychal Thompson on the Fever/Caitlin Clark situation:
“I have watched every game of Caitlin since she was a sophomore at Iowa, probably the biggest fan of hers outside of her family. It just looks like they don’t want the Caitlin Clark that we fell in love with, at Iowa” pic.twitter.com/F2rrKF8yAZ

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.
To paraphrase @chiney… She didn’t move the needle. She IS the needle!
Congrats to CC! https://t.co/UKxfiDDYFS

Here are the fan’s reactions on social media.
You Had 2 Weeks To Speak Up For Her When The Entire Media YOU Have Personal Ties With Was Burying Her 6 FT Deep
But Of Course She’s The “Needle” When Convenient

(@BlameVenom) And…
The way you stayed silent while your franchise player was being dragged was a shame. She has spent years defending this organization, shielding it from criticism, and taking the hits for everyone else.
You did not deserve that loyalty. I hope she finds a franchise that values and…— Data (@DataScientistOC) June 9, 2026

Clark fans want Clark out of Indy and in an organization with a good coach and back office.
Must have hurt you to type that out
It’s ok you’ll live.
In Caitlin’s shadow
You WNBA ladies are such high school mean girls YOU FORGOT those of us that stood up to you grew up too. CC can take the high road.
