Megan Rapinoe Says She Plans See Multiple Caitlin Clark Games This Season: ‘I’m Just as Big a Fan as Anyone’
The retired U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team star, 38, opened up about her fandom of the WNBA and Clark, 22, during a panel this week at the Business of Women’s Sports Summit in New York, saying she “can’t wait” to see the basketball phenom play in person this upcoming season.
“I’m going to the game when they play in Seattle and will be back here for the one in New York,” Rapinoe said, already with two of Clark’s Indiana Fever games on her schedule.
Clark was the Fever’s No. 1 overall draft pick earlier this month, coming off back-to-back Final Four seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes in which she became the NCAA Division I’s all-time leading scorer in both men’s and women’s basketball.
The rookie sensation’s jerseys nearly sold out within an hour of the draft pick, and ticket sales soared across the league for games when Clark and the Fever were coming to town.

The Des Moines, Iowa native has been embraced by fans, fellow athletes, and celebrities as she gears up for a transition from college basketball star to an already trailblazing pro in the WNBA. The boom in college basketball, buoyed by Clark, also led to record-breaking viewership numbers earlier this month during the Final Four and the National Championship game.
“It’s so much more than Caitlin, though,” Rapinoe said Tuesday, according to CBS Sports. “[There’s] a huge storyline around Dawn Staley and her game.

He made his stance clear: “I’ll walk away as an NFL fan if they let Bad Bunny take that stage. This isn’t just a bad choice — it’s an insult to American music.” Details 👇
