It’s no secret that Caitlin Clark and her fans have become the WNBA’s go-to target, and the latest rant from Atlanta Dream co-owner Renee Montgomery has now taken things to whole different level.
In an unhinged rant on social media, Renee Montgomery went off on Clark’s fanbase, accusing them of some wild stuff—everything from making AI porn of Angel Reese to sending death threats, being racist, sexist, and “violent with their words.”
Yeah, you read that right. It wasn’t a parody or some random internet comment—it was a full-blown accusation from a WNBA co-owner.
Okay so obviously, there’s literally zero actual evidence backing up these claims from Renee Montgomery about Clark’s fanbase, but it seems like that hasn’t stopped her or really anyone who actually watches or plays women’s basketball from throwing accusations around.
This is a literal co-owner of a WNBA team saying this shit on her irrelevant podcast, practically begging for engagement on social media, all because she’s talking about Caitlin Clark.
The irony here is wild.
Clark herself has become a massive name, not just in women’s basketball but in sports overall, and her fans aren’t exactly a small group. Yet, instead of embracing her star power, players, owners, and other WNBA fans seem more interested in coming after her and her supporters.
Caitlin Clark has done more to put the WNBA on the map than anyone in the HISTORY of the professional women’s basketball league and instead of appreciating that, everyone is focused on tearing her down.
Feels a lot like biting the hand that feeds, doesn’t it?
Look, I’m not going to pretend that I even watch the WNBA. In my humble opinion, it’s a bad product and the fact that ESPN and all these major broadcast networks try to shove it down sports fans throats worse than Puff Daddy at one of his parties is beyond ridiculous.
At the same time you can’t escape the impact Caitlin Clark is having on basketball and really, women’s sports in general.
You’d think the league would want to ride that wave, not throw it under the bus but much like everything else in the WNBA, they continue to miss the mark and fail to get it right.
