BREAKING: Caitlin Clark Breaks Her Silence On Where She Stands P0litically
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark isn’t afraid to speak up, but she also doesn’t want to come off as unauthentic.
There’s been a lot of debates regarding transgender inclusion in women’s sports, especially after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham offered her stance on that topic during an interview with ESPN.
“I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,’” Cunningham told ESPN. “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”
After the Fever fell short to the Minnesota Lynx last Sunday, a reporter asked Clark to share her two cents on this topic. She basically said it’s something the WNBA and its governing bodies need to figure out.
“It’s not really a discussion we have in our locker room,” Clark said. “It’s for leagues and governing bodies to work with their athletes to find solutions, but my focus is on basketball.”
On Thursday night, Clark was once again asked about political issues and when she’ll speak up about them. She gave a very honest response to that question.
“I think first and foremost, like you know, you speak when you feel like you want to speak,” Clark told reporters. “I try to just show up and be myself every single day.”

The discussion surrounding Clark has taken an ugly turn.
After Clark refused to give her stance on transgender inclusion in women’s sports, former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly called her a “coward” online. She was then called out by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
“Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all you don’t even know how she feels on this issue and more importantly she doesn’t owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point. She just wants to play ball. Total coward cheap shot to call her a coward for not being your puppet,” Portnoy wrote.
At the end of the day, Clark shouldn’t feel obligated to share her views on every sensitive subject. Her job is to lead the Indiana Fever each and every time she steps on the hardwood.
On the other hand, Clark is without a doubt the most popular player in the WNBA. People want to know what she’s thinking at all times.
