The Presidential debate on the 10th of September saw new coils of conversation; a little more in the WNBA. As the post made by Taylor Swift endorsing Kamal Harris, gained its traction, Caitlin Clark’s name among the many likes would end up summoning a whole lot more — enough to reach Gabrielle Union. In making her awareness known about the situation, seems like the reaction to Clark’s move has come to highlight one key thing for the Bring It On actress.
Taylor Swift’s post encouraged voters to watch the debate and do their research to figure out which candidate raises the same issues that they support. For her, it would be Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Clark’s support through a like just wasn’t it for the fans. “Wish she didn’t get involved with politics cause I will now stop watching and following her,” wrote one IG user. “Lost me as a fan,” commented another.
This immediate retraction thereon brought in the matter of real intention or how authentic these fans even were in their support for Clark or women’s basketball, as per Gabrielle Union’s retweet.
Clark’s draft had a viewership up 307% from last year when Aliyah Boston was the top draftee; which again, in itself, was the most viewed since Diana Taurasi’s 2004. Attendance, merch sales, social media engagement, and brand deals, all witness a noticeable growth in Clark’s name. While the rookie’s skills may call for it, the response now has a few building onto the fact that a certain set joins in merely for other factors.
But whatever the narratives on fans, Caitlin Clark has stood against all unfairness.
“People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It’s disappointing. It’s not acceptable,” Clark said back in June. So with her stance clear there, the rookie had another one of her views to stand up for.
Caitlin Clark’s explanation on liking Taylor Swift’s post
If you visit Clark’s top IG post now, you’ll find over 8k comments on it. Possibly the highest on any of her IG posts. Fortunately, not all of them are now about bashing or silencing the 22-year-old’s political stance. Something which was not even declared in an absolute manner, anyway.
A lot of comments are now supporting Clark for having a voice. And calling out “fake fans” who’d stop supporting a player over a like on an IG post. As for the like, the 22-year-old has already explained that her like was for Swift, encouraging people to raise awareness among themselves and vote. Yes, the Fever rookie was referring to the aforementioned initial part of Swift’s caption.
“I have this amazing platform, so I think the biggest thing would be just encourage people to register to vote… And that’s the same thing Taylor did… Continue to educate yourself on the candidates that we have… the policies that they’re supporting — I think that’s the biggest thing you can do,” Clark said. For the fans who withdrew their support, it seems Caitlin Clark had no comments to spare.
