Fever prez Kelly Krauskopf deletes her X account…

“We want to sustain the growth and the interest level in the franchise. I mean, this is about the Indiana Fever,” Krauskopf stated. “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 executed not only for the franchise but the WNBA as a entire.
One X consumer, @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,” one other chimed in.

“Kelly… I’d say 75% of Fever fans go where Caitlin goes,” X consumer @kds5140 stated in a quote tweet that includes 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.”
