WNBA Rookie Caitlin Clark Fields Cringey Comment From Reporter, Awkward Exchange Goes Viral
Basketball star Caitlin Clark fielded a cringe comment from reporter Gregg Doyel on Wednesday that quickly drew backlash as it circulated on social media, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The awkward exchange played out at a press conference where the Indiana Fever rookie answered questions after being newly drafted onto the team. When Doyel, an IndyStar reporter, took the microphone, he held up his hands to make a heart shape the same way Clark has been seen gesturing at games.
“Well, start doing it to me and we’ll get along just fine,” the reporter responded. His remarks have since gone viral for the wrong reasons, eliciting responses like: “What a weirdo” and “Dang that reporter is cringe.”
“Be professional you’re there to do your job,” an X user wrote.
Barstool Sports reporter Jack McGuire also posted to the social media platform, saying that Doyel “has now shifted to being weird towards Caitlin Clark.”
