Kaitlyn Clark made sure to click that like button on Taylor Swift’s post-debate posts addressing the head-to-head political warfare watched by millions. Utah Jazz forward Jordan Clarkson caused a small stir just by asking a question. Word of the red heart on Swift’s post being activated by Caitlyn Clark started circulating on social media far more quickly.
Another NBA star, Chicago Sky forward Brianna Stewart, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mark one of Trump’s replies about pets and immigration. This more open political engagement comes on the heels of star players and the union issuing a statement on the WNBA’s Kathy Engelbert’s comments during a recent interview.
Chelsea Gray, Alicia Clark, Stewart, Kelsey Plum, and Turner responded to Engelbert’s divisive words on racism in the league. “There’s no more apathy. Everybody cares,” Engelbert said. “It is a little of that Larry Bird/Magic Johnson moment, if you recall from 1979, when those two rookies came in from a big college rivalry—one white, one black. We’d 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.”
Fever’s Caitlyn Clark is not alone in debate dialogue. Longtime NBA veteran Evan Turner sounded off with a more serious tone. Flavor Flav joined Stewart with more humorous reactions. “If you vote for Trump in November, then please don’t talk to me about the dumb topics I frequent, or if I’m capping,” Turner posted. “Cause y’all don’t care about logic, so please don’t try to vibe with me. I’m actually insulted watching this and trying to hear folks who understand his side. This can’t be your leader.”
