Renowned columnist blasts 'spoiled brat' Caitlin Clark

It didn't take long for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark to go from hero to zero in the WNBA.

As talented as she is, she's also been tangled up in controversies since she entered the league, whether because of her greatness or in spite of it.

Her popularity may have reached a new low, and even the national media seems to be shifting the discourse around her.

Notably, that includes Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times, who had a ruthless assessment of her third season after an 83-75 loss to the New York Liberty.

Renowned columnist puts Caitlin Clark on blast

“I wish Caitlin Clark would just stop whining and play,” Plaschke wrote. “The logo-shooting, circus-passing, shape-shifting revelation who was once arguably the most famous basketball player in the world has become rude, entitled and, frankly, not all that fun.”

Plaschke didn't hold back after Clark dropped just 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting.

“In her third season in the WNBA, the once-shining superstar is acting like a spoiled brat. The league’s most popular player has become its biggest lout. Her stats are decent, but her attitude stinks,” added Plaschke.

The Fever fell to 5-5 for the season and have been one of the most disappointing teams in the WNBA this season. They're also 1-1 as defending Commissioner's Cup champions.

Clark has had a solid season for the most part (18.7 pts, 8.2 ast, 4.7 reb) though her turnovers (4.2 per game) and foul trouble have been issues throughout the campaign.

Moreover, there are also rumors of a feud between Clark and coach Stephanie White, and as crazy as it may seem, she might also be on the trade block before her rookie contract runs out.
