Well, in the WNBA, apparently they can.


Meh, regardless of whether that should be a foul or not, in all honesty, I'm done defending her cringe crashouts every other game. She has zero intention of changing that flaw in her personality, either, at least until it burns her in an unrecoverable way.

It reeks of the same sh** people reported and hated about Margaret McCaffrey........not that I'm sayin, but I'm just sayin.........................

How many of her 4 turnovers were careless and lazy?.
I missed most of the game until late in the 4th and by then it wasn't worth tuning into............
Two were careless and lazy, the others were dropped passes. Her turnovers weren’t much of a problem, her three point shooting was bad. It also didn’t help that everyone else on the team sucked as well.

you are right, this is not basketball. it is a little girl throwing a tantrum. it is reality TV, all we need is a break up or two, maybe sleeping with somebody else, getting caught, mom and dad step in, save the day, somebody gets the trophy for winning dancing with the stars, somebody gets booted from the island, crying and drama. somebody moves in with mommy and daddy. somebody gets a new land rover and drives over to chat with Khloe Kardashian about how her nails technician screwed up bigtime.
WTF

I agree this is flaw in her personality that's been apparent for a long time. I do think the Comparison to Marge is over the top. While CC's "flaw" is cringe worthy at times, she's only hurting herself and her image. Other then her clashes with the refs during the heat of the moment ( she seems to have a good relationship with them often joking with them pre game) she's over the top kind to pretty much everyone else and gives ALOT of her time to fans and random people she meets.

And how many other players would act just like her if they had even half the pressure on them to perform every single game that Clark has on her?

Legend riding in on his horse to dispute anything Caitlin
We need to bump this before every game, just so we can set expectations for Legend interactions going into each game. ;)

Speaking of eyesofhawk's alt account @Legend12 here's a few more things you can go on ignoring :D:

While true, this didn't start 2 years ago. She was almost as bad at Iowa at times. You don't sit her down and make her watch video of her actions in games and practice because its all good, not to mention bring in a sports psychologist to help her understand how to relate within a team concept (all this done at Iowa) because she handles her emotions well. Look I love all she did at Iowa, (some think I'm an apologist for her) but she really has to get herself under control, if she's going to reach her potential. She's seems a great person off the court, but she's a loose cannon on the court too often, and its not helping herself, her team or her relationship with the refs.

Lololol.. so Clarks college career was a "media creation". Better ask Dawn Staley what happened in the 2023 final 4. I guess the "media? conjured up some whoop ***.....

I think it's safe to say that CC, through no fault of her own, has been grossly over-hyped by her fan base and the media. Indeed, she was a great college player but that hasn't translated completely to the W. She's proven to be a good pro but not a great one. Unfortunately, that reality hasn't been accepted by her fan base. Compounding the situation has been the adverse reaction to her by most players in the league. Again, through no fault of her own, they despise the attention she gets and obviously the fact that she makes so much more money than they do through endorsements, etc. CC is acutely aware of all this and that's why I see her playing no more than another year or two.

She was on her way her rookie year, smashing records. And then the injuries started. She probably hasn't been 100% since the start of her second season.....

CC was rookie of the year and first-team all-WNBA in 2024. She sat out almost all of 2025. This year she was Eastern Conference player of the month in June - no small honor as first team all-WNBA guard Allisha Gray won it in May and Kelsey Mitchell will likely win it in July. Your characterization of her WNBA career is not close to accurate.

It’s not easy carrying around a 210 pound barnacle almost every day …. and all that trademark McCaffery whining and complaining has rubbed off on CC in a bad way. Somebody do an intervention before she throws around a few sideline chairs.

I did not know if Jay Leno was republican or democrat. I did not know if Michael Jordan was repub or dem. I do not know if CC is repub or dem. This is how it should be: who cares? do your thing on TV. that's it.

These people making up this crap about CC and her "white repubber fanbase mythical racists maga white nationalists"..... they are insane. Have you spent 20 or more yrs on rivals for iowa like I have?? this has got to be the most liberal dem fanbase in the midwest, bar none. This is the biggest lib base in the midwest. Number one.

Today Sophie posted something about evil data centers. That's lib talking points. Maybe she did that to distract from CC, I dunno. The repubs in congress getting involved are idiots. They made it worse.

I guess CC needs to stop acting like a white Karen. She should get an escalade and go hang with the Kardashians.

And you are tagging me on this why?
You got any thoughts on this other than to downplay it as nothing, or is your critical commentary exclusive to the pro-Caitlin Iowa fan bubble? 😃

Don't worry though, you're not the only one guilty of living in a bubble and pretending this sh** I posted is just an unheard vocal minority.................
