When Caitlin Clark and the Indian Fever faced the New York Liberty on Sunday, the hoop enthusiasts could notice how exhausted the former team’s players were as they played their 11th game of the season. They quickly pointed out the supposed bias against the franchise, which raised questions on the WNBA.
ESPN’s Frank Isola strongly disapproved of it on his X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) handle by stating that the league should levy a fine on the person responsible for an unfair scheduling decision. The Fever had to appear 11 times in 20 days, the most by any other women’s team this season, while the reigning champions, Las Vegas Aces, comparatively had a much more relaxing schedule of only six games.
The Indiana franchise finished the evening with a 104-68 loss. Clark contributed a 3-pointer, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists. Since arriving in the pro league, the point guard hasn’t displayed much of her talent, and the unjust schedule is only working against her.
Social Media Reacts to Caitlin Clark’s Unjust Schedule
The WNBA’s viewership has increased noticeably because of Caitlin Clark. The fans expected her to spread the same magic in the league as in her Iowa days, but that has not been the case. When the fans observed the differences with her team, they protested on Isola’s social media post.
Agreeing with him, a fan wrote, “Yes. This is outrageous. The @WNBA has the Fever running on fumes at this point.”

“Who’s running operations over there??” asked another furious fan.
Assuming the league’s motives, someone commented, “The WNBA doesnt have to look far. They schedule this shit because they wanted to cash in on the clark effect. More games =more airtime = more sell outs. They just didn’t expect the fever to be 2-9. they sacrificed the health of an entire to team to prop up the golden goose..”
While one fan asked, “I’m not up to date on wnba but this scheduling is so tilted. How can one team already have 11 games while another has 6?”
A fan added, “In attempting to hype Clark the league hurt her chances to show her game. The schedule is ridiculous.”
“Agreed. It’s ridiculous they have played at least 2 games more than every team. Trying to get people hurt by doing that!” read one of the comments.
The fifth-seeded Eastern team will get some time before they take on the Washington Mystics on Saturday, where Clark needs to pull up her socks and lead the team offensively so that they can change their 2-9 record in a positive direction.
