FS1’s Joy Tayor got destroyed online following what turned out to be an unpopular take.

Taylor was discussing Caitlin Clark during ‘Speak’ this week when she claimed no one was talking about the former Iowa star before the 2023 national championship game, adding Angel Reese’s taunts are what actually made her famous.

“We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before Angel Reese walked up to her, did this [waving her hand], and pointed to the ring,” she said.

“This is not my opinion. I lived it. I watched it. It was recorded, it was broadcasted live. We were not talking about Caitlin Clark before that moment, and that’s OK. You can be extremely talented and not interesting.”

Of course, Reese is doing her part for women’s basketball, and her antics gave both players more coverage than they probably would have gotten otherwise.

But Clark was pretty well known before that 2023 loss. She had already grabbed the headlines with a 41-point performance against South Carolina in the Final Four that year.

Fans Ripped Joy Taylor Over Her Odd Caitlin Clark Take

Fans were pretty quick to call Taylor out.

“Sports analysts saying they didn’t know who CC was before the 23 chip is extremely damning on sports media,” one said. “This does not say what she thinks it does.”

“This is simply not true,” another added. “If you weren’t paying attention to women’s college hoops say that instead.”

“We’re not blatantly lying. Caitlin was HER before the Natty Game and everyone knew about her before the Natty Game. Don’t do that,” said a third.

Another pointed to an interview she had with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith in 2022.

Doesn’t look like Joy Taylor did her homework on that one.

Everyone Is Saying The Same Thing About Caitlin Clark’s Teammates After The Indiana Fever Star Took Another Brutal Shot

Caitlin Clark enjoyed the second win of her rookie WNBA season against the Chicago Sky on Saturday, but her Indiana Fever teammates have come under fire for not having her back during the 71-70 victory.

Clark was the victim of a nasty foul in the Fever’s first home win of the campaign, with Chennedy Carter leaving a hard body check on her that left her floored.

You can check it out right below:

Carter escaped with a common foul, and Clark was awarded a single free throw as the ball hadn’t been inbounded. But, given that the game was won by the slimmest of margins, Clark will not regret the foul that gifted the Fever an extra point.

Still, her teammates are taking heat online as they did not react to the foul.

Caitlin Clark Lamented Over Her Treatment Before Saturday’s Game

Caitlin Clark did not have a particularly impressive outing on Saturday, scoring 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting. But she will be pleased with the result after a tough start to life in the WNBA.

The guard previously lamented over the hard fouls she’s been treated to since her debut.

“I think everybody is physical with me, they get away with things that probably other people don’t get away with,” she said after the Fever’s loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday, per CBS. “It’s tough, but that’s just the fact of the matter. This is a very physical game, and you’re going to get pressure, this is professional basketball. It is what it is, honestly.”

The Fever will be back in action against the New York Liberty this Sunday, having already dropped two games to NY earlier in the season.
