Some actual headlines from some actual recent stories about Caitlin Clark
Everyone — and that means everyone — has some sort of hot-button opinion about Caitlin Clark and what has surrounded her in the WNBA

Jun. 11, 2024 1:41 pm
It’s amazing. Caitlin Clark just plays basketball, and has said all the right things without denigrating anyone.
Clark has a very good marketing agency working for her that undoubtedly has given her excellent advice. However, she’s always had a wise way of talking at length in public without offending anyone in this moment in time when the world seems to be easily offended.
Nonetheless, if it involves Clark, it triggers someone one way or another. Here’s a sample of recent headlines (The stories go with the links) from well-read websites. It’s kind of incredible, if you ask me.
The last one on the list may be the one to take seriously.
