WNBA Hall of Famer Sheryl Swoopes isn’t backing down from critics who took issue with her recent show of support for Paige Bueckers.
After fans of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark voiced frustration over Swoopes wearing a Bueckers t-shirt during an appearance on the “Gil’s Arena” podcast, the former Houston Comets star issued a confident response.
The controversy began when Swoopes appeared on the show wearing a shirt featuring the image of Bueckers, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed by social media users, especially those aligned with Clark, who has built one of the most passionate fan bases in women’s sports.
The Mirror reported Tuesday that Clark fans were upset by what they viewed as a subtle jab at their favorite player, who was the face of women’s college basketball over the past two seasons and now headlines the Fever‘s young core.
Many critics accused Swoopes of harboring bias against Clark, reviving past tensions from the previous season. But Swoopes had something to say in response.
Swoopes stands firm
On Wednesday, the four-time WNBA champion took to X to address the growing social media frenzy.
In a tweet that paired a dancing GIF of Serena Williams from Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show, Swoopes shared a message that spoke volumes without naming names.
“I love my fans!!! Yall make it a great day!!! Remember haters gonna hate! Go be great!” she posted.
With Clark‘s meteoric rise and Bueckers‘ strong return from injury to lead UConn to the 2025 national title, the stage is set for intense debates and rivalries among WNBA fans.

<!--> There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to handle themselves.That's why we're here to help, though, by sifting through the previous days' games, and figuring out what you missed, but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball:Perez collects 5 hits, 4 doublesWhat a day for Salvador Perez. Sure, it was two games in one day, but five hits, four RBI, and four doubles — with Perez as the Royals’ catcher for one of those two games — is a fine day’s work whether over nine innings or 18. Especially since his Royals won both games of that doubleheader.ADVERTISEMENT -->That third double was nearly a home run, too — just another few inches higher, and it clears the wall.

The night hope returned to Nashville: ‘Cam Ward is a game changer’
Ben Arthur NFL Reporter <!--> NASHVILLE, Tenn. — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell barely got through the announcement of the No. 1 overall pick. Watching Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft unfold from the field at Nissan Stadium, Titans fans heard "Cameron …" and erupted. Screams of "let’s go!" filled the air. Screeches pierced the sky. Fireworks were set off and Johnny Cash’s "Ring of Fire" blared through the speakers, just like when the Titans scored a touchdown at home games during the 2024 season. A group of young boys jumped up and down. One of them, wearing a Tony Pollard jersey, spotted a TV camera. He let out a big smile and flexed. He ushered a friend into the shot. "Cam Ward is a game changer," said Joshua Wilson, 46, who became a Titans fan after moving to Nashville from Boston […]
