Caitlin Clark pushes back at being used to push racist and sexist agendas

• Purported fans have used online vitroil to defend guard
• Other players have urged Clark to take a stand

Caitlin Clark has defended her fellow WNBA players and pushed back on the toxic discourse from some quarters that has accompanied her rookie season in the league.

Clark was drafted No 1 overall by the Indiana Fever after a record-breaking college career with Iowa. She has been on the receiving end of some hard fouls and has struggled at times on a Fever team that has limped to a 4-10 record. She was also left off the USA roster for next month's Olympics.
