Trinity Rodman, the breakout soccer star and youngest player ever drafted into the NWSL, recently made headlines for candidly addressing her strained relationship with her father, NBA legend Dennis Rodman. Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Trinity revealed emotional details about their fractured bond, describing him as “not a dad… maybe by blood, but nothing else.”
These comments have sparked a public back-and-forth, not only with Dennis but also with his girlfriend, Yella Yella, who has entered the fray with her own sharp remarks.

Yella Yella’s controversial response to Trinity’s claims
While Dennis Rodman responded with an emotional Instagram post, apologizing for his shortcomings as a father and pleading for reconciliation, Yella Yella took a much bolder approach. She defended Dennis in the comments, claiming he “reaches out all the time” and challenging Trinity with a provocative ultimatum: “If you hate him so much, change your last name.”
Yella Yella’s directness has added fuel to the ongoing drama, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the family’s contrasting narratives.
A history of estrangement
Trinity has been vocal about her rocky history with Dennis. She recounted moments of neglect, including times when her family lived in a car and attempts to reconnect were overshadowed by Dennis’s partying lifestyle. Despite these struggles, Dennis insists he has made efforts to stay in touch, even flying to her games and watching from a distance when told not to attend.
“I’m always here, and I tell you all the time how proud I am,” Dennis wrote in his post, addressing his children directly. However, Trinity claims that these reconciliations are fleeting, often followed by long periods of silence.

The conflicting accounts have left fans divided, with some sympathizing with Trinity’s perspective as a child of a famous but absent parent, while others view Dennis as a father trying to mend broken ties. Yella Yella’s involvement has further complicated the situation, as her outspoken comments have drawn both support and criticism.
With Trinity’s rising stardom in soccer and Dennis’s legacy cemented in NBA history, the spotlight on their relationship shows no signs of dimming. The question remains: can the Rodman family bridge their divide, or will the public fallout only deepen their rift?
Caitlin Clark’s jersey retirement sparks outrage as tickets reach insane prices
Tickets are going for eye-popping numbers
Indiana Fever’s Caitlin ClarkLAPRESSE
Caitlin Clark is set to receive a prestigious honor from the Iowa Hawkeyes on February 2, 2025 when the university will raise her number to the rafters and retire it.
The occasion will certainly be a memorable one for all those in attendance, as well as Clark, who averaged 31.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game in her senior season with the team.
She also became the NCAA’s all-time leader scorer in both the men’s and women’s divisions, showing just how profound her impact was on the sport during her time in Iowa.
However, with Clark’s number now set to join the likes of Megan Gustafson and Michelle Edwards in the rafters, ticket prices for the occasion have fans scratching their heads.
How much are tickets going for?
The game will see Iowa take on the USC Trojans, and to the surprise of nobody, there is already a huge demand for tickets.
As a result of that demand prices are hitting all-time highs, with the cheapest ticket on TickPick listed at a stunning $711. That is a huge increase on the previous lowest price, which was $283.
The figures have some fans wondering how it’s possible, and if the game should be moved to accommodate a bigger live audience.
“I would have had it in the football stadium & probably cashed out even more,” one fan wrote.
“Iowa that’s nasty work,” wrote another, who clearly isn’t a fan of the big price jump.
Another added: “Even with as good as Caitlin Clark, I still can’t bring myself to watch the WNBA.”
