Fever prez Kelly Krauskopf deletes her X account after Caitlin Clark backlash

Nothing gets past Caitlin Clark fans, not even Fever president Kelly Krauskopf.

Krauskopf reportedly deleted her X account after intense backlash from fans in regards to a comment she made about the Fever star, as detailed by the Daily Mail.

The Fever have stumbled while Clark has missed 10 games spanning two injury stints, and they’re currently floating along the playoff bubble at No.7 — just inside the eighth and final spot.

As a result, all eyes have been on the front office.

In a recent press conference, Krauskopf said she wanted to make the Fever “as big as Apple.”

“We want to sustain the growth and the interest level in the franchise. I mean, this is about the Indiana Fever,” Krauskopf said. “Yes, we have a foundational players in Caitlin Clark … and Aliyah Boston, and we’re going to add to that. But I want this team to be a leader in the country, and an enduring brand … like Apple or something. We have a real opportunity here.”

Many felt that the president disregarded what Clark has done not only for the franchise but the WNBA as a whole.

One X user, @caitlinclarksty, wrote: “Enduring brands lean into their visionary. Apple became a global icon by making Steve Jobs both its visionary and its star.”

“(Ninety-five)% of your ‘Brand’, is Caitlin Clark,” another chimed in.

“Kelly… I’d say 75% of Fever fans go where Caitlin goes,” X user @kds5140 said in a quote tweet featuring a video of the remarks. “Get mad at me, but the moment CC leaves Indy is the moment I quit buying Fever tickets. This is so stupid, she has no idea how to capitalize on the moment properly. You build around CC. She is the brand right now.”

In a move to seemingly avoid more blowback to her comment, Krauskopf deleted her X account as of Friday night.

Clark returned from a groin injury Wednesday and the Fever have split their two games since her return, most recently grabbing a 99-82 win over the Dream on Friday.

The 2024 Rookie of the Year has had trouble finding a rhythm on the court throughout the mere 11 games she has played this season.

She is averaging 16.9 points per game, which is a significant tick down from last year (19.2).

Clark has also taken a dip from beyond the arc, shooting just 28.9 percent this year after holding a 34 percent clip in 2024.

Against the Dream, Clark tallied 12 points and just made 1-of-7 from deep and shot 29 percent from the field. However, her teammates stepped up.

Kelsey Mitchell had 25 points and three assists, while Boston contributed 19 points and Sophie Cunningham added 16 off the bench.
