“Massive L”: Fans Turn On Caitlin Clark as Fever Rookie Preps to Throw First Pitch for NY Yankees

“Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax,” as per Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko. Caitlin Clark shocked many when she was spotted at Yankee Stadium wearing their shirt, creating an unusual combination of one of the most hated teams in the USA with one of the most beloved basketball players. Unfortunately, this time Clark faced backlash for her choice.

One fan commented, “Ya Angel Reese ROY. Massive L,” reminding Clark that she was not the only contender for the Rookie of the Year award. Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, known for her impressive 15 consecutive double-doubles, could potentially win the title.

Meanwhile, Clark is gearing up to throw the first pitch for the New York-based team, with many speculating that she might do so before the game against the Texas Rangers.

Clark, drafted as the number one pick of the WNBA by the Indiana Fever this year, has already made a mark in her rookie season by breaking Courtney Vandersloot’s record for most assists in a single WNBA game with 19 assists. Despite her success, her support for the Yankees may affect her future prospects.

On the other hand, Reese, Clark’s ROY opponent, had the opportunity to throw the ceremonial pitch at Oriole Park in Camden Yards ahead of a game last July. She earned this chance after helping LSU win the NCAA Championship by defeating Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes in the Finale. While Reese’s move did not attract much scrutiny, Clark’s choice had a negative impact on fans.

Fans slam Caitlin Clark for her questionable move

“Snappy dresser 💀,” one critic commented, expressing disapproval of Clark’s outfit at the Yankee Stadium.

“I’ve always been an Angel Reese fan anyways…,” another user stated their loyalty to Reese, hinting at the rivalry between the two players that began after the NCAA Championship Finale 2022-23. The user seemed unfazed by Clark’s recent actions.

“I guess she’s the greatest female athlete of all time now,” one user sarcastically remarked, poking fun at Clark and her fans for supporting the Yankees despite her accomplishments.

“She never deserved the Olympics anyway,” one social media user boldly stated, suggesting that Clark wasn’t deserving of a spot on the Olympic team. The user’s opinion resonated with those who believed Clark should not have been part of the Paris Olympics squad.

“Hahaha this is cool asf.. now staple my eyelids shut with a Pneutools MS1565 2 1/2″ Medium Crown Staple Gun,” a disappointed fan sarcastically commented regarding Clark’s decision to participate in the Yankees’ ceremonial pitch.
