The All-Star vote of Caitlin Clark among the WNBA players, who classified his ninth best place among the league guards, had social networks in a frenzy wondering how that could be the case.
One of those who expressed their opinion was Michele Tafoya, the former NFL reporter, who believes that Clark’s companions are “jealous” of her.
Tafoya made an appearance in “No with Dan Dakich” from Outkick, where he promoted his thoughts on the matter.

“I thought we were bending a corner here, they give,” he told Dakich. “I thought we saw his teammates having our backs. I thought we were able to establish ourselves with this Caitlin Clark obsession.
“It really feels almost like a hatred towards her, but it is clearly jealous. She has that great commercial of the state farm where everything is better from the logo: an excellent, very intelligent ad. Then, the United States loves her, fans clearly love her, the media likes the media. But players cannot stand it.”
Clark, a captain of the WNBA star game along with the Naphesa Collier of Minnesota Lynx, first ended up in a vote of fans and fourth in the vote of the media between the guards.

But Tafoya, like many others, could not believe that Clark was so far from the list. Some believe it could be because he has fought in recent games with his Jumphot, while others talked about her playing only nine of the 16 fever games so far this season due to injuries.
Tafoya didn’t want to listen to him.
“Is the ninth best league guard? Do not try to give me the excuses of” Well, she has been fighting lately “, or” lost some games with injuries. “Come on, this is crazy and I think it is an activist vote of WNBA women, who simply cannot bear their success.

Clark averages 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, five rebounds and 1.6 robberies in 33.3 minutes per game this season.

This season, a physical altercation broke out against Connecticut’s sun, during which Clark was hit on the face and pushed to the ground during a play. Later in the game, Clark’s teammate, Sophie Cunningham, retaliates against Sun’s guard, Jacy Sheldon, in another fight that led to executions.
And, of course, Clark was the National Sports Conversation Center after instances against the Sun, Chicago Sky and others.
