Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark has brushed off any concerns about the viral video showing her and coach Stephanie White having an argument on the bench during Saturday's Portland Fire loss.
As teammate Lexie Hall alluded to earlier on Monday, Clark said that nobody on the Fever's staff or roster thought twice about the viral moment.
COMMENTARY: The Caitlin Clark double standard is real and suffocating
"Two people being competitive; two people that really want to win, and I think a lot of those things happen all the time," Clark said about what's happening in the video that shows White and Clark seemingly debating about how the latter is playing defense. "I know there's a camera on me, and that's how it's going to be.
"There’s a lot of people out there in the media or on TV that, they think they know a lot of things, and they’re just blatantly wrong about a lot of things... I ride for Steph [White]; I ride for these girls. Steph has my back more than anybody."
This was always the most credible scenario; a video without any context getting blown out of proportions during an intense basketball game where frustrations were running high. Trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill was never going to serve anybody's best interests.
This is a classic example of needing to hear people out for what you see in a viral video before coming to any sort of major conclusions. The ridiculous narratives about Clark and White both need to settle; there's plenty to talk about with the Fever on the basketball court. Why not keep it there as much as possible?
