Indiana Fever president’s X account removed following viral comments

Indiana Fever president's X account removed following viral comments

The president of the Indiana Fever, Kelly Krauskopf, seems to be deleting his account on X, and this has caught the attention of social media users right before the team’s game against the Atlanta Dream on Friday night.

His account, which was previously active under the handle “@k2indytex,” has now disappeared. Many believed it belonged to Krauskopf. Fox News Digital tried to reach out for a comment, but I guess they didn’t receive a response.

Interestingly, the timing of the account’s deletion coincided with the resurfacing of comments from Krauskopf’s introductory press conference. He had made a statement about aiming for the Fever to have a lasting presence, similar to Apple’s, which stirred quite a bit of conversation online. In that press conference on October 8, he discussed the significance of Caitlin Clark and presented the idea of making the Fever a brand that endures.

Krauskopf mentioned, “This is about Indiana Fever. There are key players like Kaitlin Linklerk and Aliya Boston, and we’ll keep building on that. But fundamentally, we want this team to be a permanent brand, like Apple.” That soundbite quickly circulated, inviting criticism from fervent fans of Clark.

In that same October 8 address, he hinted that the Fever might aim to appeal to new demographics instead of just focusing on the fans from their WNBA Championship victory in 2012. He made an interesting point: “This is a moment that might take time to reach that level,” he said, referencing the players. “We know the support is there, and we feel empowered about the direction we’re heading.”

Krauskopf also pointed out that Clark was only 10 when the Fever last won the title, underscoring her potential impact in recruiting efforts. “If you’re a smart basketball player and you see Caitlin play, naturally, you’d want to team up with her,” he remarked.

In their game later that night, the Fever triumphed over Atlanta with a score of 99-82, where Clark contributed 12 points despite dealing with a groin injury.
