Caitlin Clark heard aiming brutal dig at WNBA rivals on live stream after Indiana Fever cup win
Despite Clark being ruled out of Tuesday night's final with a groin injury, Indiana still ran out 74-59 winners over the Minnesota Lynx to claim the trophy, with Natasha Howard putting up a game-high 16 points in the victory.
And after getting their hands on silverware, Fever players headed back to the locker room for a wild party where Clark seemingly took aim at their rivals.
In a clip from the live stream, which left resurfaced on X, Clark could be heard saying: 'Guys, I just know everybody in the league is sick'.
One of her Fever teammates, Aaliyah Boston, laughed at the remark and responded: 'They're p***ed!'. Another player was heard saying: 'They hate us!'
Since rising to prominence in the WNBA, Clark has also seemingly become a target among some of her league rivals.
Clark was heard, on a live stream, claiming that 'everybody in the league is sick' of the Fever
Some fans have claimed that the Fever star has been mistreated by her WNBA peers, who have continued to be rough her up in her second season.
Women's basketball legend Cheryl Miller claimed in March that Clark was 'despised' by some in the WNBA community because of her race.
'I know what it's like to be hated. I know what it's like to be a black woman and hated because of my color. I can't imagine this young lady - I don't wanna use 'hate' but despised...,' Miller said on All the Smoke.
Miller's comments came after Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson attributed Clark's race to her winning TIME Magazine's Athlete of the Year award.
Meanwhile, Clark was left stunned after one of her Indiana Fever teammates performed a lewd sexual act on her during the celebratory live stream.
The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was leaning over to talk to the camera during an Instagram live recording when Fever guard Sydney Colson snuck up from behind and jokingly tried to dry hump her.
'Woah bro,' Clark said as she jumped up in shock before laughing, 'absolutely not, no thank you!'
Elsewhere in the celebrations, new Indiana hero Sophie Cunningham was also seen twerking in front of the camera during the same Instagram live session.

Should it come to fruition, it would become the first professional sporting event ever contested on White House grounds. --Field Level Media

Caitlin Clark fans vow to boycott ESPN after analyst's scathing criticism of WNBA star
Fans of Caitlin Clark are calling to boycott ESPN after the Indiana Fever star was on the receiving end of some harsh criticism from their analyst. Indiana star Clark has dominated the WNBA since being drafted into the league last year, however has endured some hardship in recent weeks. A groin injury meant Clark missed their game against the Las Vegas Aces, with the Fever not missing a beat, downing one of the league's best franchises 81-54. After the match, ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck made the bold claim that the Fever were better without the reigning Rookie of the Year in their side. Peck said: 'I think that Indiana is even more dangerous when Caitlin Clark doesn't play. She's a ball-dominant guard. 'The ball is in her hands a lot, so you know what you need to try to take away.' ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck claimed that the Fever were better off without Clark in the side ESPN's Carolyn Peck says the Fever are more dangerous WITHOUT Caitlin Clark 💀💀💀 Their hatred toward CC needs to be studied 😭 — BricksCenter (@BricksCenter) July 4, 2025 The clip was posted onto social media and, shortly afterwards, the replies were flooded with 'CC' fans calling to boycott the network. One user wrote: 'Who watches ESPN bro? Boycott that useless network'. 'ESPN's narrative continues,' another said. 'Crazy levels of hate for the person who brought wnba to relevancy', said one fan. 'We gotta stop letting some people stop talking basketball,' another wrote. Clark also missed Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup Final victory, with Indiana handing the Minnesota Lynx only their third loss of the season. The sophomore phenom has now missed more games for the Fever this season than she has played, as the team is 5-4 without her, and 4-4 with Clark in the lineup. The former Iowa guard missed five games at the beginning of the WNBA season with a quadriceps injury and has no stated timetable for her return to the court in present day. Fans of Caitlin Clark were quick to hit back at the criticism and call to boycott ESPN Clark's next chance to play will be Saturday evening at home against the Los Angeles Sparks. That contest will be two weeks before the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, where Clark was voted a captain despite her multiple absences. Clark was named an All-Star Game captain by being one of the two players receiving the most fan votes. Lynx star Napheesa Collier and Clark will now have the opportunity to draft from a pool of the other WNBA All-Stars to create two teams ahead of the festivities. Clark gets her second All-Star selection in her sophomore professional season, having represented 'Team WNBA' in last year's extravaganza against Team USA before the Paris Olympics.

Tim Mayer accuses FIA president Ben Sulayem of ‘reign of terror' after announcing candidacy
Tim Mayer opened his campaign for the FIA presidency in combative fashion by accusing his election rival and the incumbent, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, of overseeing a 'reign of terror' during his four years in charge. Mayer, the son of the co-founder of the McLaren F1 team Teddy Mayer and a former longstanding FIA steward, with 15 years in the role in F1, maintains he was sacked at Ben Sulayem's behest. He issued a withering assessment of the president's tenure as he aired his platform for the vote, which will be held on 12 December. 'If you look at the number of people who have resigned from the FIA who have gone in with the best intentions but cannot effect change, or say 'No this is a bad idea, Mr President'. It is a reign of terror,' he said. 'You are wondering when the next scandal is.' The 59-year-old American, who enjoyed a long career in motorsport organisation, gave a damning verdict on a highly controversial period of leadership by Ben Sulayem that has been publicly criticised by many in F1, including the drivers. Ben Sulayem has presided over rifts with drivers and a string of high-profile departures from the sport's governing body, including most recently the deputy president for sport, Robert Reid, who left citing a 'breakdown of governance standards' in April, which Mayer also addressed. 'We have been left with illusion of progress and illusion of leadership while the most senior team he has appointed has departed,' Mayer said. 'The illusion of inclusion, while capable voices, women and people from diverse backgrounds, were pushed out when they spoke out. 'We have had the illusion of transparency and engagement. And perhaps most corrosive, the illusion of integrity. We have witnessed wave after wave of statute amendments ushering in the greatest centralisation of power in the FIA's history.' Mayer left his role as an F1 steward last November, claiming that he had been let go by text message amid fallout from an issue relating to the United States GP in which he held a different role. He insisted revenge was not the reason for his candidacy. The FIA structure heavily favours the incumbent against a challenger and Ben Sulayem recently received a letter of support from 36 member clubs, about which Mayer was also scathing. 'When a letter is shoved under your nose and you are told 'sign this, or else' anyone is going to sign it,' he said. 'But the only vote that counts are in December, that process will still have full democracy.' Ben Sulayem and the FIA have been contacted for comment. On track, Silverstone basked in warm sunshine with huge numbers turning up for practice. They were rewarded in the first session when Lewis Hamilton, in his first run for Ferrari in the UK, topped the timesheets. He has won here a record nine times before, including a remarkable victory last year but with the Ferrari off the pace admitted that he was 'hoping and praying' to make the podium. He has yet to have a top-three finish since joining the Scuderia this season, the longest he has gone into a year without a trophy, but he at least opened well, just quicker than McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in second and third. In the afternoon running Norris continued his run of form after his win at the last round in Austria, going quickest, two tenths clear of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Hamilton, with Piastri fourth and Red Bull's Max Verstappen in fifth. The McLaren was expected to be strong through Silverstone's sweeping high speed turns but Ferrari too will be pleased with their performance, suggesting the upgrades to the floor they brought to Austria have delivered a genuine step forward.
