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.”

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.

Caitlin Clark’s stellar debut WNBA season earned her the Associated Press (AP) Rookie of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year honors in 2024. While the latter accolade was expected after Clark’s meteoric rise, it wasn’t without controversy, as a few votes went to other athletes, including Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif, whose Paris Olympics performance stirred public debate.
Clark secured 35 of the 74 votes from AP journalists, while Biles received 25. Khelif placed third with four votes, despite widespread criticism surrounding her inclusion in the voting due to controversies related to gender debates during her Olympic run. The voting sparked a passionate response from WNBA fans, many of whom took to social media to defend Clark’s win and criticize the panel’s decisions.

“Khelif getting any votes is absurd,” one fan wrote, referencing the backlash surrounding Khelif’s participation in women’s boxing. Others expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of the votes, with one quipping, “Must’ve been Caitlin Clark’s ‘privilege’ that got her named Female Athlete of the Year-because dominating the court and redefining women’s basketball isn’t enough anymore.”
