Caitlin Clark’s iconic college career iowa hawkeyes It’s over, girl. WNBA His career with the Indiana Fever is just beginning, but people are already wondering about it.
Two days after being selected No. 1 overall by the Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark was introduced to his new team for the first time. This was supposed to be a celebratory event with no bad vibes, but unfortunately, Indianapolis Star columnist Greg Doyle couldn’t help himself.
Doyle’s extremely awkward exchange with Clark at his inaugural press conference became a hot topic. It started with Doyle giving Clark a “hand-to-heart,” a gesture she had made to her family and young fans throughout her college career, but from there it turned into something creepy and inappropriate. became. Beware of men covering women’s sports. Here’s how not to take action: Watch the viral clip of Doyle talking to Clark here.
Anyone else cringe when they see that? The reaction of the crowd in the media room made matters worse. Why does anyone think this is okay?
Doel apologized later that day:
Today, in typical Oh Fish fashion, we welcome @CaitlinClark22 To Indy, I made her sign with both hands. My comments afterwards were clumsy and awkward. I sincerely apologize. Please know that my heart was good (literally and figuratively). I’ll do better.

Below are just some of the reactions on Twitter.
This is inappropriate.
What’s really sad is that WNBA athletes are fielding inappropriately. From a long-time “media” member.
I Media put it in quotes, but anyone who does this is not an expert and deserves to be disbarred. This is disturbing. https://t.co/hEVkWq1GRs

If you did that to me, would I be able to get away with it?
Oh my God!
1. Athletes don’t need to get along with the media; they need to coexist as professionals.
2. The audacity of this man to suggest this is creepy and incredibly out of touch with reality.
Shame on everyone who laughed

Clark is fun to watch, but let her be normal. This is no way to start her WNBA career.
