Amid the continued fouls and personal attacks against Caitlin Clark, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is offering words of encouragement to the WNBA star.
Just a few games into her first season as a WNBA player, Clark is already racking up records: As ESPN noted, she’s already become just the third player in WNBA history to record 150 points, 50 rebounds and 50 assists through the first 10 games of a season.

Recently, Clark was brutally body-checked by Chicago Sky player Chennedy Carter, who has already been banned from the league multiple times for violent conduct.

But as Clark has brought a much-needed fresh perspective to the WNBA and racked up points and records, she has also become the target of envious attacks from fellow WNBA players and race industry insiders. But not everyone is ready to attack Clark.
According to the Kansas City Star, Brittany Mahomes sent her support to Clark on her Instagram account, writing, “Keep it up Caitlin Clark 22!! You are an amazing athlete and what you’re doing for the game and women’s sports is amazing!”
Mahomes wasn’t alone: former tennis great Martina Navratilova also offered words of encouragement.
“WNBA players need to know that Kaitlyn Clark helps them all, now and in the future. Kaitlyn is the tide that floats all boats!” Navratilova wrote.
