Caitlin Clark’s younger brother has put a WNBA owner on blast over her bizarre comments on the Indiana Fever star.
Washington Mystics owner Sheila Johnson threw some shade at the point guard, claiming the WNBA should have been named “League of the Year’ by TIME magazine instead of Clark being recognized as the publication’s “Athlete of the Year.
Johnson claimed Angel Reese and other players bring as many eyes, if not more, than Clark, which we can safely say is not the case.
X’s Community Notes dropped some knowledge on Johnson, pointing out that “31% of the Mystics total home attendance for the entire 2024 season came from the two games versus Clark and the Fever.”
You can hear her explanation in the clip below:
“We have so much talent out there that has been unrecognized, and I don’t think we can pin it on just one player”

Caitlin Clark’s Little Brother Makes A Point To Sheila Johnson
Caitlin’s little brother, Colin Clark, responded to Johnson’s claims by reposting a tweet from Front Office Sports noting over 20,000 fans attended a Mystics game.
The crowd was the biggest in league history. Of course, it’s because they were playing the Fever.
While Reese and other WNBA stars have done their part in increasing the WNBA’s popularity, it’s hard to argue that anyone comes close to Clark in such regard.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
