Women's Groups Split Over Caitlin Clark's Answer on WNBA Sports Debate at 22

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 4

Multiple women's advocacy groups responded after Caitlin Clark declined Sunday to take a clear position on the WNBA's "Save Women's Sports" controversy, saying governing bodies — not players — should find solutions.
Clark, 22, said the issue is not a locker-room discussion for the Indiana Fever and then cut off a follow-up question, comments that fueled debate among supporters and within the movement.
ICONS and Concerned Women for America largely defended Clark from being forced to carry the fight herself, while still urging leagues to adopt female-only policies.
Independent Women, its law center, and Moms for Liberty criticized her for punting on an issue they said demands public support from prominent female athletes, contrasting her stance with teammate Sophie Cunningham's outspoken position.
The dispute has spread beyond the court, with rallies and counterprotests outside the Fever's last 3 games underscoring how unresolved league policies are driving pressure onto players.
