Today we’re talking about the chaos surrounding the WNBA Rookie of the Year vote and how one Connecticut Sun reporter got the media buzzing about who didn’t vote for Caitlyn Clark. As promised, I’m staying on top of this hunt to find out who was the one voter that snubbed Caitlyn Clark from being a unanimous Rookie of the Year.
Right now, it’s the biggest story in sports. Everyone wants to know who voted for Angel Reese instead of Clark. There’s speculation, but no hard evidence yet. More people from the media are coming forward to clear their names.
Recently, WNBA reporter Russ had to clarify the Rookie of the Year vote after Angel Reese’s call-out. Caitlyn Clark nearly swept the board, securing 66 of 67 votes to win the 2024 WNBA Kia Rookie of the Year award. Usually, there’s no requirement for voters to disclose who they picked, but we all thought Clark would win unanimously. So, when that final vote went to Reese, it felt like someone was purposely trying to ruin Clark’s historic moment.
Now, reporters like Connecticut Sun’s T Foster are quick to say, “It wasn’t me.” Foster even posted her actual ballot on her X (formerly Twitter) account, showing she voted for Caitlyn Clark. Let’s pull up her tweet. It’s pretty clear she’s saying, “Don’t come for me, I did the right thing.” You have to respect that. She’s setting a tone and challenging others to reveal their votes.
So far, no one else has done that. We’re waiting for someone to own up to that one vote. Sixty-seven people voted, and one person needs to step forward. Even Dan Patrick and ESPN are talking about it. Dan made some great points, saying that if you believe Angel Reese was Rookie of the Year, own it. It’s your vote, just be honest about it.
Clark’s not going to lose sleep over this, but it’s definitely making waves. So, what’s next?
