There’s no doubt that Caitlin Clark has many haters, both from fellow players and others in the media. Sheryl Swoopes has emerged as someone who is not afraid to ignore Clark or just trash her.

During a Las Vegas Aces and Dallas Wings game that Swoopes was in the booth for, she went completely silent for 50 seconds while the other analysts discussed Clark’s being one of the players to win Player of the Week.

Of course, this infuriated many WNBA fans who have had enough of the disrespect from Swoopes.

“Swoopes is classless. I don’t get the hate she spews for CC. She’s has really tarnished her legacy by being such a jealous bigot. Grow up Sheryl,” one comment said.

“She’s gonna have a miserable decade or so Caitlin is just getting started. Imagine hating on a rookie for literally no reason,” said another.

Sheryl Swoopes Caught More Backlash From Stephen A Smith

Smith has not been afraid to unload on Swoopes for not giving Clark any credit. He exposed Swoopes for not mentioning Clark when talking about how well the Indiana Fever played on her “Queens of the Court” Podcast.

“No Caitlin Clark?” Smith said. “Respectfully, Sheryl Swoopes, do you have any idea how that makes you look?

“You have any idea how that serves to stain any kind of critique of Caitlin Clark, because that gives fodder to those who believe she’s being hated on and ostracized to some degree?” he continued.
