Sheryl Swoopes Fired from WNBA Broadcast for HATING on Caitlin Clark—Stephen A. Smith EXPLODES!

Sheryl Swoopes has been stirring up controversy in the WNBA, particularly with her critical comments about rising superstar Caitlin Clark. This season, Swoopes has made no secret of her jealousy, but her latest actions have taken things to a whole new level. ESPN, the network that’s been closely following Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise, has highlighted her impact on the WNBA numerous times, making Swoopes' criticism even more surprising. Diamond DeShields recently made headlines in WNBA news for an aggressive play against Caitlin Clark, sparking intense debate among WNBA fans. Imagine this: DeShields intercepts Clark at half-court during a key Indiana Fever game—not with just any foul, but with a clear, frustration-driven play. The fallout from this incident was immediate, with WNBA analysts and fans calling it out as a dirty play, igniting a firestorm of controversy.


The aftermath of Diamond DeShields’ actions didn’t stop at just criticism. DeShields faced a barrage of backlash, including receiving racist threats, which highlighted ongoing issues within the WNBA community. But amid this storm, Cheryl Swoopes stood out as a vocal supporter of DeShields, continuing her narrative against Caitlin Clark. Swoopes tweeted, “Head up kid, hate will not win. You are covered, and there’s nothing these evil people can do about that. All love for you.” This tweet, while supportive of DeShields, had significant consequences for Swoopes, leading to her removal from the WNBA broadcast team for the highly anticipated Fever vs. Dallas Wings game, a pivotal WNBA matchup.
