Caitlin Clark opened up about growing racial abuse and toxicity towards WNBA players on social media. Clark was asked about the topic in her interview for the Indiana Fever on Thursday. The topic heightened after Connecticut Sun star Alyssa Thomas singled out Fever fans for hurling unsavory remarks about her.

A reporter asked Clark about her thoughts on some WNBA players experiencing racism and hatred online. The Fever star knows a thing or two about hateful messages since she’s also been a subject of it.

As expected, the 22-year-old Iowa product condemned those who spew hate on her and her fellow players.

“It’s definitely upsetting. … Nobody really should be facing any sort of racism, hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments and threats,” Clark said [H/T IndyStar].

“Those aren’t fans, those are trolls. It’s a real disservice to the people in our league, the organization, the players in the WNBA, but there are a lot of really good fans, whether they’ve been fans for 20-plus years or whether they are new fans in our league.”

The Rookie of the Year frontrunner added:

“I think continuing to uplift this league in a very positive light is the best thing we can do because there are so many great players, so many great teams, so many positive storylines that can be written and celebrated, and for me, that’s why I became a fan of this league because these people were my idols.

“I grew up wanting to be like them, so I think continuing to uplift and represent this league in a positive way is the best thing that we can do.”

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever were eliminated by the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.

Caitlin Clark won’t be playing overseas or for the Unrivaled League this offseason

Many WNBA players stay active during the offseason and take their talents overseas like in Europe, Asia or Australia. Some chose to stay in the United States and play for the new Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 league founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier.

However, Caitlin Clark won’t be doing any of that stuff this offseason, according to the New York Post. She’ll enjoy her long vacation time after a whirlwind of a year from her final season in Iowa to her first season in Indiana. She plans to play golf and won’t move out of the city.

It should be pointed out that Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, was hired to be an assistant coach at Butler, so he won’t be moving away from Indianapolis as well.
