🏀 Caitlin Clark Backlash? WNBA Fans Are Calling For a Boycott — And It’s Blowing Up Online

While Caitlin Clark continues to set WNBA history with record-breaking attention, not everyone is thrilled about her success. In fact, a small but loud group of fans are now calling for a boycott of Indiana Fever games — and a recent video from Black and White Sports isn’t holding back in calling out the hypocrisy.

“If we wanted to watch the WNBA before Caitlin Clark, we would’ve been watching it,” says the host.

The video pulls no punches, calling out what it describes as “woke basketball fans” who are angry that Clark — a white, outspoken, confident player — is getting all the attention.

📺 Clark Will Have More Nationally Televised Games Than Any NBA Star

That’s right — Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will have 41 nationally televised games this year. That’s more than LeBron James, Luka Dončić, or any current NBA player.

It’s a milestone that speaks volumes about her marketability, her popularity, and how she’s resurrected interest in the WNBA.

And yet, that seems to be exactly what some fans are upset about.

🚫 The “Boycott Plan” — And Why It Makes No Sense

In the video, the host breaks down how some online users are suggesting ways to intentionally avoid watching Clark’s games — even going as far as recommending illegal streaming so the Fever don’t get viewership credit.

The kicker? These are often the same fans who have spent years demanding higher salaries for WNBA players.

“You want to boycott the one player bringing in money, media attention, and new fans? You think that helps women’s basketball?”

The irony is painful — they want better pay, but are attempting to sabotage the one player who’s single-handedly driving media deals, ratings, and revenue.

📉 What If They Actually Boycott?

The host doesn’t seem worried:

“Let them. Let’s see the difference between the real Fever fans and the ‘woke’ crowd. Spoiler: They won’t even make a dent.”

The reality is clear: WNBA’s audience growth, its media visibility, and yes — its future salaries — are closely tied to the massive attention Caitlin Clark is bringing in.

💡 Final Thought: You Can’t Have It Both Ways

You can’t demand that the league grow, that salaries increase, and that women’s sports are taken seriously — while turning on the one athlete who’s finally making that happen.

Caitlin Clark is not the problem. She’s the breakthrough.

So if some fans want to boycott? Let them. The rest of the world is tuning in.
