Having just arrived in the WNBA as a phenomenon, Caitlin Clark is already linked to multiple controversies.

And as if that wasn’t enough, a former US football star completely broke down on live TV when discussing his case.

After shining during her four years with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Caitlin Clark joined the Indiana Fever team as the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

But unfortunately for her, her debut in the professional league was quite eventful. For now.

In addition to her few performances below her level, the leader is also involved in several controversies.

No, the latter has not suddenly decided to play the bad girl, but it is her tenderness mistaken for weakness that causes her fault.

For some, this is proof of the jealousy of other players.

But the fact remains that the rookie continues to attract the attention of the world. However, Pat McAfee caused a scandal when he commented on his case on his eponymous show.

Pat McAfee’s scandalous comments about Caitlin Clark

What’s in the WNBA right now, you could call it a cash cow. They have a superstar. We are not saying that players must behave differently on the pitch.

Athletes do what they have to do in all sports. I think we’re all learning that the WNBA is like American football back in the day. I wish people in the media would stop talking about this rookie class.

You have to call it what it is. There’s a white bitch on the Indiana team who is a superstar.

It is true that Caitlin Clark is a phenomenon that is literally shaking up the women’s league. But on a major audience channel, Pat McAfee decided to talk about the leader using very vulgar terms.

This resulted in a flood of criticism towards the former American football player.

In this climate of racial hatred and sexism that is rife in the United States, this awkwardness naturally did not slip through the cracks.

But even when he had to apologize, McAfee was unable to calm the heat.

I shouldn’t have used the term “white b**ch” to describe Caitlin Clark. It doesn’t matter the context…even if we talk about skin color as a reason for certain things that happen…

I have way too much respect for her and for women to add that to the world. My intention in saying this was complimentary, as was the entire segment, but many people say that definitely wasn’t the case at all. This is all my fault and I apologize…I also sent an apology to Caitlin. Everything else I said…these are STILL facts.

It is clear that Caitlin Clark is not at the end of her worries in this rookie season for her. Pat McAfee’s outrageous comments about his skin color and the jealousy it arouses should not work in his favor.
