NFL legend cries foul after Caitlin Clark blocks him on social media upon tweeting a swathe of memes

NFL legend Antonio Brown has gotten himself blocked by women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark after he made a disgusting tweet about her. Brown has been wreaking havoc on social media with his spate of "CTESPN" takes, which usually include offensive language.

Most recently, Brown revealed on Thursday morning that Clark had blocked him, following distasteful tweets he had made about the women's basketball icon's body.

Brown posted two vulgar tweets about Clark within minutes of each other, and both received thousands of likes.

Caitlin Clark has become a prominent figure even before entering the professional scene, thanks to her impressive career in NCAA women’s basketball. She has attained a level of fame that extends to households, and her WNBA arrival is expected to bring more attention to women’s basketball.

However, Clark has faced some uncomfortable situations, like during her introduction as a member of the Indiana Fever on Wednesday. She had an awkward exchange with Gregg Doyel, an acclaimed columnist for The Indianapolis Star.

Doyel made a heart gesture with his hands, and when Clark asked if he liked it, he said he appreciated her presence more. Clark explained that she typically makes that gesture for her family after each game. In jest, Doyel then said:

"Start doing it to me, and we'll get along just fine."

Caitlin Clark nets eight-digit endorsement deal with Nike

Caitlin Clark is reportedly poised to launch her own signature shoe in collaboration with Nike following a significant endorsement deal with the brand.

The deal, reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Mike Vorkunov, is expected to be worth eight figures, although the exact amount has not been disclosed.

Caitlin Clark, who was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, had been a Nike athlete, but her contract expired after the college basketball season

Charania and Vorkunov noted that Clark had held meetings with Under Armour and Adidas, with Stephen Curry participating in Under Armour's presentation. Despite these discussions, she eventually chose Nike, joining the ranks of WNBA athletes Sabrina Ionescu and Diana Taurasi.

Clark's move to Nike and her lucrative deal come as a welcome development, considering she is slated to earn just $76,535 in base salary this year as part of a four-year contract worth $338,056.

Although her WNBA salary is modest, Clark is poised to earn substantially from endorsement agreements. These include partnerships with Gatorade, Buick and State Farm, which were estimated to be worth $3.1 million before the new Nike deal.
