Caitlin Clark ‘likes’ Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris on social media

Caitlin Clark hinted at her political beliefs for the first time by “liking” ​​Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris on social media Tuesday night.

Swift announced her support for Harris in the upcoming presidential election by posting her thoughts on Instagram minutes after the conclusion of the debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

“​​I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift, who also endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris in 2020, wrote. “I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Over eight million people, including Clark, have liked Swift’s post.

The WNBA is well-known for its players’ activism, with many publicly supporting Democratic candidates in past and current elections. However, Clark has not publicly discussed her political beliefs. The Rookie of the Year favorite is, however, an outspoken “Swiftie.” Videos of the WNBA star singing along to Swift’s music during warm-ups have been widely shared on social media. Iowa Basketball posted a video last season of Clark passionately singing the words to “Enchanted,” which she said was her favorite song by Swift.

Clark’s home state of Iowa and Indiana, where she plays for the Fever, voted for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

Breanna Stewart rips WNBA commissioner’s Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese comments that sparked uproar

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert’s comments on the dark side of the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were met with a universal thud from the players and WNBA Player’s Association.

The condemnations come after Engelbert appeared on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” on Monday and sidestepped a question about the toxic nature between fan bases of Clark and Reese.

Engelbert replied to CNBC’s question about the “darker turn” that some of the fandom has taken on, but instead of addressing the topic, she gave a meandering answer about the new space the WNBA occupies at the “intersection of culture, and sports, and fashion, and music.”

“The WNBA players are really looked at now as kind of cultural icons,” Engelbert said. “And when you have that, you have a lot of attention on you. There’s no more apathy. Everybody cares. It is a little bit of that Bird-Magic moment if you recall, from 1979. When those two rookies came in from a big college rivalry, one white, one black. And so we have that moment with these two.

“But the one thing I know about sports, you need rivalry. That’s what makes people watch, They want to watch games of consequence between rivals. They don’t want everybody being nice to one another.”

Players from Liberty star Breanna Stewart to Reese herself reacted to the comments, and WNBPA executive director Terri Jackson released a scathing statement criticizing the commissioner.

“To be honest, I saw the interview today, and since then have been in talks with Terri at the WNBPA. I think that it’s disappointing to hear,” Stewart told reporters on Tuesday night after New York’s win over the Dallas Wings. “Because the way that the fans have surged, especially behind Caitlin and Angel coming to this league, but also bringing, like, a race aspect, to a different level. There’s no place for that in our sport. I think that’s really what it is. We want our sport to be inclusive for race, for gender, and really be a place where people can be themselves.

“We wish Cathy would have used her platform in a different way and have made that a little bit better. Just telling the fans enough is enough. Become a fan of our sport, and for the new ones, lock in on everybody. But don’t be disrespectful, because as a league, we stick together, and there’s no place for that.”

The WNBA has had to contend with a massive growth in interest this season thanks to Clark and Reese’s arrival to professional women’s basketball, but with it has come a negative side to the attention.

Reese said on her podcast recently that fans of Clark had shown “racism” and said she’s had fans follow her home.

Jackson said in her statement that there was “absolutely no place in sport — or in life — for the vile hate, racist language, homophobic comments and misogynistic attacks” on the league’s players.

“This kind of toxic fandom should never be tolerated or left unchecked,” she said.

Reese seemed to react to the WNBPA statement in a post on X.

“I LOVE ME SOME MS. TERRI CARMICHAEL JACKSON. Momma @nnekaogwumike you’re on the clock sista!” Reese wrote.
