sports reporter has apologized for making the cringy comment to Caitlin Clark and referring to her as "that","It"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

A cringeworthy moment was captured at Caitlin Clark's first press conference with the Indiana Fever. Off camera, a reporter made Clark’s signature heart-hands gesture. “Start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine,” says Indy Star reporter Gregg Doyel. Although the audience awkwardly laughed, Clark had a bewildered expression on her face. Now, Doyel is apologizing, calling his comments clumsy and awkward.

keys to that what are you going to do

1. wtf? Some idiots just defy explanation.

[Deuxcents]

2. Would that clumsy and awkward reporter appreciate his daughter being treated like that?

Women’s pro basketball is not new. It is, however, coming into its own with talent and serious players. The times are changing and these reporters need some attitude adjustments

3. To bad

Caitlin could not say something like I don’t know what you are, but are you masquerading as a sports journalist? Of course she would not do that, but she is an intelligent young woman.

4. Fucking tool

[TBF]

5. She's a smart young lady - she just looked at him like "I can't believe you just said that"

she's very poised and will continue to do very well with her endorsements.

I hope she pointedly ignores that reporter in the future.

6. To be fair....

... a lot of Indy is thrilled that she's here. I'm not into sportsball of any kind, but even I am am glad she's here.

I think dude was just gushing and went too far.

7. I don't hear an apology? Where was the, I am sorry? I just heard him admit it was weird & clumsy

Sexist, knuckle dragging pig. I can’t stand grown ass men acting like this. Ugh. GTFU
