Caitlin Clark, new WNBA superstar, playing for the Indiana Fever

Gap between Caitlin Clark's WNBA salary and her male counterparts' draws outrage

 

 

 

Caitlin Clark has everything she needs to become the face of the WNBA, and the league knows it. Unfortunately, his first steps in Indiana were marked by a rather astonishing controversy. The introductory press conference had a shameful sequence.

The 2023 season was perhaps the most important in WNBA history. Indeed, thanks to the rivalry between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty, many basketball fans have become interested in the league. And with the level displayed on the pitch, it’s difficult not to be passionate about these two teams. Even LeBron James was shocked by the talent of Marine Johannès!

 

Because the planets seem aligned for the league to capitalize on this good dynamic, the most publicized prospect of all time has just arrived during the Draft. Caitlin Clark is an extraordinary player, capable of making baskets from anywhere, capable of making her teammates better with bright passes, and everyone will want to witness her debut.

 

Caitlin Clark hit on in the middle of a press conference!

Unfortunately for the former Iowan, her arrival in Indiana was marked by a big controversy. Indeed, during her introductory press conference, she was the subject of a particularly disturbing comment from a journalist. It’s certain, this scene would never have taken place in the NBA…

Caitlin Clark: Do you like heart with hands? I do it to my family after all the matches.

Reporter: I love that you are here. Start doing it in my direction and we’ll get along great.

Bad taste joke or total impunity on the part of this journalist? Difficult to decide, the fact remains that the sequence is particularly embarrassing. How can a journalist ask such a thing of his franchise superstar, especially for a first meeting? How can flirting become a criterion for a cordial understanding between a person supposed to respect ethics and a player? The reactions were clear:

This is not sexual harassment?????????

It’s a certainty, Caitlin Clark will not grant a single interview to this journalist as long as she is in Indiana. Let’s hope that this lunar sequence will increase the journalistic standards in the WNBA.
