Caitlin Clark’s arrival in the WNBA has been one of the top sports stories of 2024. The highest-scorer in NCAA Division I basketball history has played a monumental role in helping the WNBA TV partners enjoy record-setting viewership, as reported by Sports Media Watch.

Clark is off to a superb start for the Fever, averaging 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Clark and Indiana have three more off days before they return to the court for a road game vs. Washington on Friday.

Another Controversy On “The Pat McAfee Show”

Pat McAfee’s reference to Caitlin Clark as a “white b*tch” is far from the only controversy to have transpired ever since his show moved to ESPN.

Though the words didn’t come from McAfee’s mouth, his show received immense backlash for allowing New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to speak freely on the program. Rodgers speed plenty of misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines and indicated that Jimmy Kimmel was on the client list of Jeffrey Epstein.

McAfee subsequently announced that the four-time league MVP and future Hall of Famer would not be on the show for the rest of the season. Rodgers has continued to float baseless conspiracy theories on other shows and podcasts.
