There’s no doubt that Caitlin Clark has many haters, both from fellow players and others in the media. Sheryl Swoopes has emerged as someone who is not afraid to ignore Clark or just trash her.
During a Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings game that Swoopes was in the booth for, she went completely silent for 50 seconds while the other analysts discussed Clark’s being one of the players to win Player of the Week.

Of course, this infuriated many WNBA fans who have had enough of the disrespect from Swoopes.
“Swoopes is classless. I don’t get the hate she spews for CC. She’s has really tarnished her legacy by being such a jealous bigot. Grow up Sheryl,” one comment said.
“She’s gonna have a miserable decade or so Caitlin is just getting started. Imagine hating on a rookie for literally no reason,” said another.
