Fever Ex-President Reveals How Caitlin Clark Tried to Get Opposing WNBA Players Paid
A former member of the Indiana Fever’s front office shared an anecdote that conveys Caitlin Clark’s true colors.
All indications are that Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is just as good of a person as she is a basketball player.
Not only does the 22-year-old in front of a microphone, but she is also keen on using her massive platform to help grow the entire sport of women’s basketball.
And there’s no better example of this than an anecdote the Fever’s President and COO Allison Barber — who announced earlier this month that she’s — shared during a September 19 speaking engagement at The Economic Club of Washington
D.C., which displays Clark’s desire to give her peers a piece of the pie, so to speak.
“Here’s all you need to know about Caitlin Clark: When we would go to away games, they always sold out,” Barber said. “So [the Atlanta Dream] would normally have 3,000, 4,000 people. Now they have 17,000 people and they sold 1,000 standing-room-only tickets.
“So when we walked into the arena, people were on that third balcony looking down at the tops of our players’ heads to watch… After a few away games, and all of the sellouts, Caitlin asked the WNBA if they would pay spot bonuses to the away team players,” Barber continued.
