Caitlin Clark isn’t even halfway through her rookie season, and things have already been hectic for her.The Indiana Fever rookie just wants to play basketball, but there has been so much discourse surrounding her name ever since her college days with the Iowa Hawkeyes.

An interview with the Washington Post shows that the negativity surrounding her is now affecting her family in a brutal way.

Clark’s family fully supports her, but there is only so much they can take from her name being dragged through the mud.

“They see all this stuff, too. You have to remember, we’re regular people with feelings. My parents have feelings. It can definitely be hard at times,” Clark said in an interview with Michael Lee of The Washington Post.

“Honestly, I feel like I have a pretty good skill of blocking everything out. I think being in this position, you better have that skill, or else it’s going to break you at some point.”

Clark further stated that she just wants to focus on basketball and made it clear that she is not here for the other stuff.

“I think it’s hard for people to remember, I just love playing basketball,” Clark told The Post. “This is my job. This is what I’m here for. I’m not here for all the other stuff.”

The conversation surrounding Clark is not expected to end anytime soon, so it is something she is just going to have to deal with as she attempts to become the next big thing in women’s basketball.

Clark’s mom hasn’t stated much of anything publicly with such a famous daughter but she has spoke volumes with her social media activity.

Clark has been the talk of the sports world since it was revealed that she will not be part of the roster that will represent the USA in women’s basketball in Paris next month.

Clark’s mom, Anne Nizzi-Clark, shared one of the critical takes about the snub when she took to X and reposted it on her profile.

“USA Basketball’s timing is terrible. Clark just made seven 3’s and scored 30 in front of the largest WNBA crowd in 17 years: 20,333 in DC, more than double the crowd Chicago drew the night before in the same arena,” Christine Brennan of USA Today stated, which Clark’s mom reposted.

Brennan then added in a follow-up take: “It is true: Caitlin Clark, the biggest name in women’s basketball who has electrified record crowds while being named WNBA rookie of the month, has been left off the 2024 US Olympic women’s basketball team roster, three sources have told me. This confirms my overnight reporting.”
