WNBA fans rip WSJ for ignoring Caitlin Clark in report of record-breaking year: "Woke and idiotic"

WNBA fans were outraged after noticing that Caitlin Clark was not mentioned in a Wall Street Journal article discussing the league's growth in the 2024 season. The X/Twitter account @CClarkReport noted that Clark was mentioned only in reference to Angel Reese's taunt in the 2023 national championship game.

The account owner then clarified that the piece mentioned Clark but only by her last name in a portion that tried to diminish the flagrant fouls she received in her rookie season.

Then again, not many people were pleased about this approach since Clark was pretty much why many new fans started watching the W.

"Wall Street journal is a very woke and idiotic publication. They’d never write something positive about a white basketball player growing the game, unfortunately they are that racist," one fan said.

"The bias against CC will only make her improve her game. She's the Larry Bird of the W but she's not getting the props Larry got in the NBA. Within 3-5 years, the WNBA will be completely transformed, thanks to CC and JuJu," another fan said.

"Yet another reason to drop the WSJ," another fan said.

Others raved about Caitlin Clark's impact despite the bad treatment she was subjected to and how she would use this as motivation for the next season.

"I'm not surprised..she's been treated that way all year..like she's not the reason for the surge..she's the reason I'm watching," one fan said.

"Honestly, this is the best advertisement for CC's impact. Just knowing someone at the WSJ is so mad she exists they would write this way is really satisfying," another fan said.

Caitlin Clark emulated Diana Taurasi's rare feat after rookie season

Caitlin Clark keeps hearing good news after posting an impressive season. She took the Indiana Fever to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. She became the first rookie and Fever player to record a triple-double while breaking other records, including the most assists in a single season (337).

She was named to the All-WNBA First Team, becoming the first rookie guard to earn this honor since Diana Taurasi did it in 2004. Clark's future is bright, and after getting a taste of playoff basketball, she'll be ready to compete with her team at the highest level in her second season.
