WNBA Facing Backlash For Major Caitlin Clark Mistake

The WNBA recently announced its First Team and Second Team All-WNBA roster.

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark headlined the roster, alongside Las Vegas Aces A'ja Wilson, Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart and Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas.

Upon the release of the post, the WNBA made a massive mistake that quickly caught the eye of fans across social media.

When the WNBA's official social media page posted the graphic, revealing the First Team All-WNBA roster, they misspelled Clark's name.

The WNBA spelled Clark's name as "Cailtin Clark."

They have since deleted the original post and released the updated version with correct spelling.

Posted below are some of the comments sent toward the WNBA after misspelling Clark's name on the announcement.

"how’d they spell her name wrong cailtin clark," said one fan.

"How does this keep happening with the WNBA graphic posts?! They already fixed one name but still forget to properly spell Caitlin Clark’s name in the graphic." said another fan.

"We all saw your clown show of spelling her name wrong. Shameless." mentioned one fan.

"Caitlin Clark is the greatest women’s basketball player ever, so yeah." said one fan.

"Caitlin Clark is the WNBA... The WNBA is Caitlin Clark." said another fan.

Clark was a sensational rookie with the Fever. She helped lead the franchise to its first playoff appearance since 2016. Indiana also had its first 20-win season since 2015, ending the year with a 20-20 record, listed as the No. 6 team in the WNBA standings.

The first-year star averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. She led the WNBA in average assists and led the rookie class in average points.
