**Fans Slam WNBA Legend for ‘Silent’ Response to Caitlin Clark’s Achievement**
Sheryl Swoopes, a WNBA legend, is facing criticism for her noticeable silence regarding Caitlin Clark’s remarkable rookie season.
During Tuesday night’s broadcast of the game between the Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings, the commentary team acknowledged Napheesa Collier and Caitlin Clark for being named the WNBA’s Players of the Week. However, when it came time to discuss Clark’s latest accolade, Swoopes opted to stay silent, sparking backlash from fans.
What? Shes broadcasting a game. She needs to act professionally and not let bias come in. I dont care who she was as a player u cant do that

On their personal time? Correct
Bringing your bias to an official WNBA broadcast? Incredibly unprofessional

While some might argue that Swoopes wasn’t intentionally snubbing Clark, many fans are not convinced. Swoopes’ silence stands out even more considering her past criticisms of Clark dating back to her senior season at Iowa.
This latest incident has only fueled the perception among fans that Swoopes remains critical of Clark, despite the rookie’s undeniable impact and success in the WNBA.
The jealousy she has of Clark is just insane lol

All she had to say was well deserved by both players and would’ve been a non story
But she is so Jealous of Clark its embarrassing at this point, she’s the one that’s been making up lies about CC
WNBA needs to fire her, how can an employee hate the Face of the WNBA 🤦♂️ so petty— Jason Shampansky (@JShampansky) August 28, 2024
She went from immediately hating once Caitlin broke her record. To then lying about Caitlin accomplishments to then playing victim when called out on it to now intentionally not mentioning her as she’s having historic season. Truly amazing man 😂
