After LeBron James, Paige Spiranac Hits Back at Caitlin Clark Haters: ‘Women Can be Vicious to Other Women'
Pro-golfer and social media sensation Paige Spiranac defends Caitlin Clark against haters after LeBron James comes in support of the Iowa Hawkeyes star. Get all the DEETS!
Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes fell short of winning the NCAA championship game this year. The Hawkeyes faced an undefeated South Carolina team with a record of 38-0. South Carolina's size and defensive adjustments proved to be a challenge for Iowa. Despite the loss, Clark had a strong showing. She led the Hawkeyes in scoring with 30 points.
While Clark's performance throughout the season has been widely praised, she also faced criticism following her team's loss in the NCAA Championship game from multiple-time WNBA champions, Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart.
Dina made headlines for suggesting that Caitlin's college success might not translate directly to the WNBA. While Breanna said a national title is necessary for "GOAT" status in college basketball.
Ouch!
Now, pro-golfer Paige Spiranac spoke out about the "absolutely vicious" negativity directed towards Clark, particularly from other women (current and former players). Spiranac argued that this kind of negativity contradicts the message of empowering women in sports.
She argues that women should be uplifting each other, especially high-achieving young athletes like Clark. She highlights this as a common issue where women preach empowerment but resort to negativity towards each other. Spiranac concluded with a message of unity that supporting each other's success benefits everyone.

Caitlin Clark is the All-Time Scoring Leader
Caitlin Clark is the all-time scoring leader in NCAA Division I college basketball history for both men and women.
