It's starting to look like the Indiana Fever FO is feeling about Caitlin Clark the same way Chicago Sky did about Angel Reese.
"She brings too many eyes & scrutiny, and we just don't want to deal with the headache"
Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$1,624,000.
Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.
Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.
It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.
She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.
She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.
Absolutely unreal story. 🥹
🇵🇱❤️
Welcome back to another episode of: “Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…” 🤔
So let me get this straight…
A reporter asks a player about her own on-court actions after poking another player in the eye — specifically giving her the opportunity to clarify whether it was intentional or not since people were already debating it online — and suddenly the WNBPA releases a whole public statement, demands accountability, and treats the situation like the league is under attack.
Then someone online makes unsubstantiated claims that they “heard monkey noises” at a Fever game, and the WNBA launches a full investigation immediately, with statements, headlines everywhere and officials treating it like a national emergency.
Then just this week, a media personality falsely tweets that Stephanie White was fired, and the Fever front office suddenly rushes to contact reporters on their day off to urgently clarify that it was false.
But now you’ve got media personalities like Dan Dakich — a known friend of Lin Dunn and Stephanie White who openly claims he’s hearing things from people inside the Fever organization — publicly calling Caitlin Clark “a complete pain in the ass diva,” “entitled,” a “jackass,” and saying she’s “acting like a dick,” while nonstop hit pieces, smear campaigns, and personal attacks get pumped out daily from multiple outlets… and suddenly:
🦗 Silence 🤐
No “No Space for Hate.”
No emergency statements.
No concern about toxic media coverage.
No outrage over personal attacks.
Interesting how “protecting players” and “No Space for Hate” suddenly become highly selective, case-by-case principles that seem to depend entirely on WHICH player is being targeted. 👀
Hmmmm 🤔

Veronica Burton while under Stephanie White, defensive coach,couldn’t defend Caitlin Clark. CC went to basket on her every time! Sides was the Fever coach.
So last year Caitlin, KK, DD, Kelsey, AB, Sophie, and Lexie were on the team. They had multiple defenses according the Sophie.
Ty Harris played for White in CT.
Are you telling me MHA, Billings, and Raven can’t learn multiple defense sets with all the downtime the Fever have had in-between games this year?
Something doesn’t make sense?
