Sheryl Swoopes continues to dig herself a bigger hole when it comes to Caitlin Clark.
WNBA Hall of Famer and current Dallas Wings broadcaster Sheryl Swoopes has been receiving a lot of backlash for not liking Clark as she continues dominating the league.
In response to it, the former Houston Comets legend responded to a fan on X who accused her of being “unfair” to Caitlin Clark with screenshots of alleged text messages.
On Monday, Swoopes posted three images of messages on her X account she sent to a contact named Caitlin Clark that she claims took place back in February when she was still playing at Iowa.
The first image showed Swoopes apologizing for an incorrect statement about the length of Clark’s college, as it read, “Hey Caitlin, I wanted to personally reach out to you and say I made a mistake on what year this is for you, COVID year has me all confused,” Swoopes wrote. “I also have nothing but respect for you and your game and appreciate your skill. Congrats on everything you have accomplished thus far. Be blessed.”
I just hate to see all these hateful comments Sheryl doesn’t deserve all this hate BUT having said that she has made unfair comments about CC and i think she owes an apology…

The next two messages show that Caitlin Clark responded by thanking Sheryl Swoopes for reaching out and her contributions to the WNBA.
“No worries at all I appreciate you reaching out and there’s no hard feelings. I appreciate all you have done for women’s bball and for inspiring girls like me and building the foundation and platform we have today!” Clark responded.
While some may have praised her, others ripped Swoopes for leaking such private messages:
