WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind, and her latest appearance on a popular NFL-centered podcast proved no different.
The Indiana Fever star sparked widespread conversation after delivering a candid football take during a recent chat with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, leaving fans both surprised and amused.
Clark joined Jason and Travis Kelce on the New Heights podcast for a relaxed discussion that touched on sports fandom, playoff football, and life beyond basketball.
While the episode featured plenty of laughs, one particular exchange stood out when Clark opened up about her NFL loyalties—and one team she simply cannot stand.
Navigating the NFL postseason without the Chiefs
A longtime Kansas City Chiefs supporter, Clark acknowledged that this year’s NFL postseason feels different with her favorite team no longer in contention.
When asked how she plans to approach the playoffs now that the Chiefs are out, the WNBA star revealed a shift in focus rather than a complete loss of interest.
Instead of backing a single franchise, Caitlin Clark explained that she is now watching the postseason through the lens of individual players rather than teams. Her response immediately caught the attention of listeners.
“Honestly, I’m a Drake Maye fan; I think he’s been incredible,” Clark said. She followed that up by adding, “I’ll probably be pulling for the Patriots, but I think the Rams are good, too.”
The remarks reflected Clark’s deep engagement with football and her ability to appreciate talent across the league, even when her primary allegiance is no longer involved.
A clear line drawn during Kelce exchange
As the conversation continued, Travis Kelce pressed Clark further, asking whether there was anyone left in the playoff picture she simply couldn’t bring herself to support. That’s when Caitlin Clark delivered the comment that sent social media buzzing.
“There’s some I can’t root for, come on,” she said. “I hate the Buffalo Bills, ugh,”
The blunt response quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the episode. Fans reacted instantly, with many praising Clark’s honesty while others debated her take across platforms.
A glimpse into Caitlin Clark’s off-court personality
The exchange offered fans a rare look at Clark’s personality away from the hardwood. Known for her competitive edge and confidence on the court, the podcast appearance showcased a more relaxed, relatable side of the WNBA star—one that resonates strongly with sports fans who share similar allegiances and rivalries.
