You’ve got A’ja Wilson of the WNBA Las Vegas Aces and her band of salty sidekicks allegedly whispering sweet nothings about boycotting Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever games. A’Ja is furious that Caitlin has the most national TV games in the WNBA.
The WNBA is in the midst of an unexpected drama, and it involves some of the league’s brightest stars. The source of the tension? The Indiana Fever’s rookie sensation, Caitlin Clark, securing the most nationally televised games in the league this season. To make matters more intense, Clark’s rise has sparked a feud that has left some players, including A’Ja Wilson, furious.
The WNBA has never been as hot as it is right now. Indiana Fever games are selling out faster than Beyoncé concert tickets, ESPN is adding WNBA slots to its schedule, and social media is flooded with clips, highlights, and debates about Caitlin Clark’s game. But amidst all this excitement, some bitter veterans and long-time fans of the league are not exactly thrilled with the sudden surge in attention.
Clark, who has captivated millions of new fans with her talent and charm, is now the face of the WNBA’s revival. Yet, some fans—led by veterans like Wilson—are upset, feeling that Clark’s newfound spotlight is coming at the expense of other players, particularly those who’ve carried the league for years.
The conflict has boiled over to a point where some WNBA fans are actively calling for a boycott of Indiana Fever games, aiming to reduce Clark’s national TV airtime. In fact, Clark has been booked for 41 nationally televised games this season—more than anyone else in the league—and that’s got some of the veteran players fuming. It’s not just casual fans either—some of these boycott cheerleaders have ties to the media circles within the WNBA, which makes their attempts at sabotaging ratings even more alarming.
The calls for protest seem almost absurd in a league that’s been struggling for recognition for years. But instead of celebrating the massive surge in viewership, a vocal minority of fans and players are treating this success as a threat. They are upset that Clark, a rookie, is stealing the show. The truth is, the surge in viewership isn’t just benefiting Clark; it’s benefiting the entire league, and that means more money, more attention, and more opportunities for all players, including A’Ja Wilson.
