Everyone Said The Same Thing After Reporters Followed Caitlin Clark In Airport
03/05/2024 02:13
Earlier Thursday night Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever touched down at the Dallas Forth Worth International Airport ahead of their game against the Dallas Wings.
Not long after they stepped off the plane, the Fever started being followed by media members. Reporter Matt Howerton took a video of the team walking through the baggage claim section while another man was spotted just filming and walking alongside the players without talking.
It didn't take long for the video to start making the rounds on social media, leaving pretty much everyone with the same response: this is weird.
"this is too much. get the chartered planes thing amended. should have happened so long ago and now its about to all get super weird," reporter Whitney Medworth said.
"If they're not gonna get chartered planes, they should at least be able to get chartered off a tarmac onto their bus to avoid these interactions bc it's going to get so, so much worse," added another.
"The dude on the right, is he media???? Just walking and filming her. Doesn't even speak. Even if he is media, that's still so weird," offered a third.
Here's the video in question.

The WNBA does not offer chartered flights for its players, something every player in the league changes when the new CBA is agreed to in the coming years.
