Though she was forced to watch from the sidelines yesterday, Caitlin Clark still got to party after her Indiana Fever won the WNBA Commissioner's Cup in a decisive win over the Minnesota Lynx.

But her teammates may have gone a bit overboard in the locker room celebrations.

At one point during a livestream, Clark was looking into a camera and reading chat messages while dancing with her teammates. One of them, point guard Sydney Colson, snuck up behind her and tried thrusting, but Clark caught her and said "Absolutely not. No thank you," before getting back to the camera.

The reaction from Clark was seen as funny by some. But others have outright condemned Colson for inappropriate behavior in the locker room and have asserted that the Fever need to show more self-control.

"Just for a second, can anyone imagine something like this happening in an NBA or NFL locker room? The answer to that is no, and anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves," OutKick's David Hookstead wrote on Wednesday. "It's also a good reminder to watch what you're doing on a livestream. Keep it appropriate. Keep it safe. Keep it work-friendly. Simple and easy, and then you won't have Caitlin Clark going viral for damn near jumping out of the way."

"Don’t let them change you Caitlin," another user argued.

"Just when we thought they couldn’t go any lower. Bunch of classless idiots," a third said.

"The WNBA has serious problems."

"That’s sexual harassment."

Some of the reactions are clearly exaggerated, but it's safe to say that Colson didn't exactly make Caitlin Clark feel comfortable in that moment.

Colson stopped before doing something that she might have gotten into trouble with the league for. Though it's not out of the question for the WNBA to send the team a letter on the issue sometime in the near future.
