In a shocking twist that’s sending shockwaves through the sports world, WNBA fans are threatening to boycott the league over what they claim is a deliberate attempt to downplay Caitlin Clark’s stats from official league promotion and records.

The controversy erupted earlier this week when several fan accounts noticed a glaring omission: Clark’s recent career-high performance wasn’t highlighted on the WNBA’s website, social media platforms, or official broadcasts—despite breaking multiple rookie records in a single game.

Fans were quick to notice. And they were furious.

“How does your biggest star drop 35 points and break a record—and you say NOTHING?” one user posted.
“This isn’t just a snub. It feels personal. We’re not stupid.”

Within hours, the hashtag #BoycottWNBA began trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans demanding accountability and transparency from the league.

Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick and the most-hyped rookie in WNBA history, has brought record-breaking viewership, sold-out arenas, and a massive wave of new fans to women’s basketball. Her jersey is the top seller, and her games regularly draw millions of viewers.

And yet, some fans believe the league is doing everything it can to minimize her impact.

“They want the growth she brings without giving her the credit she deserves,” one analyst said on a sports podcast.
“If it were anyone else making these plays, they’d be splashed across every highlight reel.”

The tipping point came after the Fever’s win last weekend, when Clark recorded a double-double with a franchise rookie-high in assists. The WNBA’s official recap? A vague headline with no mention of her name.

“I thought it was a glitch,” one fan wrote. “Then I realized—it’s a pattern.”

This isn’t the first time the league has faced criticism for its handling of Clark’s meteoric rise. From physical treatment on the court to perceived bias in commentary, fans have expressed growing frustration over what they see as “gatekeeping the spotlight”.

Now, the boycott is gaining traction.

Dozens of fan pages, influencers, and even some sports personalities are calling for a viewing and merchandise blackout. Some are urging sponsors to step in.

“No Clark, no cash. That’s the message,” one viral video declared.

The WNBA has not yet released a public response, though insiders claim league officials are “aware” of the backlash and “internally reviewing media procedures.”

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark remains focused.

When asked about the online drama, she simply said:

“I let my game do the talking. That’s all I can control.”

Still, her teammates and coach are voicing their support.

Fever head coach Christy Sides spoke candidly at practice:

“Caitlin’s numbers speak for themselves. She’s not just good for us—she’s great for the league. Period.”

Teammate Aliyah Boston added,

“We see it. We feel it. She deserves the recognition. This isn’t just about her—it’s about all of us.”

As the boycott grows, league executives are under increasing pressure to respond—or risk losing the very fanbase that Clark helped bring in.

“You can’t promote growth and hide the reason for it,” one fan wrote. “Respect the player. Respect the numbers.”

With the WNBA in the spotlight like never before, the league now faces a critical decision: embrace the wave—or get swept up in the backlash.

One thing’s certain—Caitlin Clark is breaking records.
And WNBA fans are making sure the world knows it.
