NBA star Draymond Green said the Indiana Fever needs to quickly invest in an enforcer if they are going to protect America’s darling and WNBA basketball star, Caitlin Clark.
Outside of Donald Trump, the most racially polarizing figure in America may be the WNBA rookie sensation out of Iowa, Clark, who was the tw0-time Player of the Year before getting drafted No. 1 by the Fever.

Fans are accusing the players of being envious and resentful of Clark’s meteoric rise in fame and her multimillion-dollar product deals and are subsequently bullying her on the basketball court.
