Caitlin Clark, the star player for the Indiana Fever in the WNBA, had a challenging debut, facing significant criticism and becoming a target for other players. Despite quickly gaining a large number of fans, her rising fame also made her a target of jealousy from other players.

The WNBA player’s behavior towards Clark has been a topic of debate among analysts following a recent game against the Chicago Sky. During the third quarter of the game, Chennedy Carter hit her shoulder, causing Clark to fall to the ground. However, after the incident, a former WNBA player stood in support of Clark.

Rachel DeMita, a former WNBA player and social media influencer, recently posted a video on her Instagram account expressing support for Clark and stating that she believes the WNBA is becoming embarrassing. She also mentioned that many WNBA players do not like Clark.

“I wanted to hold my judgment on this but the WNBA is getting downright embarrassing. Not only for the league but also for women as a whole. You’re not gonna gaslight me into thinking that the media is the one that created this narrative that a lot of players don’t like Caitlin Clark. At this point, it is clear as day,” DeMita said

DeMita credits Clark for a bump in ticket prices and viewership surge

DeMita further praised Clark’s popularity and mentioned that Clark is the main reason for the increase in ticket prices and viewership of the WNBA games. If she were to get hurt for the rest of the season, all of those gains would be lost.

“Do we really think that, God forbid, she gets hurt for the rest of the season that ticket sales and viewership are gonna be the same? No chance,” DeMita added.
