Caitlin Clark just can’t seem to catch a break, at least not when it comes to getting her name spelled right. The WNBA recently found itself in hot water again after another spelling mistake involving the Indiana Fever star’s name showed up online, and fans were quick to notice.
It might seem like a small typo, but for many fans, it felt like a repeat of a bigger issue. Caitlin is one of the league’s brightest young stars, drawing massive attention to women’s basketball. So, when her name — one of the most recognizable in the sport — gets misspelled by the league’s own social media, it naturally rubs people the wrong way.
Social media lit up with reactions. Some fans joked about it, others expressed genuine frustration, and many called for more care and respect toward the players who are helping the league grow. After all, spelling a superstar’s name right seems like the least that could be done.
Caitlin hasn’t publicly commented on the mix-up, but she’s probably used to the noise by now. Throughout her career, she’s handled both praise and criticism with class, letting her performance on the court do most of the talking. And judging by how she’s been playing lately, she has plenty to be proud of.
This small mistake serves as a reminder of how important attention to detail can be — especially when it comes to representing the players who are pushing the game forward. Hopefully, the next time Caitlin Clark’s name pops up on an official post, it’ll be spelled exactly as it should be.
