Elle Duncan issued an apology on social media to Sheryl Swoopes.
ESPN’s Elle Duncan issued an apology on X, formerly Twitter, this morning. She explained that she didn’t listen to Swoopes’ show and didn’t have the proper context. Duncan has reportedly apologies to Swoopes personally as well.
“I reacted to Sheryl Swoopes comments about Caitlin Clark based on quotes pulled for me by producers in the rundown,” Duncan said. “I should have LISTENED to the show. The same thing I IMPLORED CC fans to do when they were attacking me a couple months back 4 “hating” on her. I HATE that I’ve sent more vitriol her direction and I’m taking this BIG L! I’ve texted Sheryl the same thing. I will do better! I am sorry.”
Duncan had previously issued the following statement about Swoopes in response to the incomplete quote, which she is now walking back.
“It just feels like there’s something there,” Duncan said. “And I’m not really sure what is not connecting with Sheryl. I don’t know if some of that is driven in sort of the hurt, she felt from the fanbase or some of the attacks that were leveled at her after she had those comments a few months ago, but this feels really really really off part. This just doesn’t feel right at all. And it is starting to feel like hate from Sheryl.”
What did Sherly Swoopes actually say about Fever rookie Caitlin Clark?
“I don’t know if Chicago is in the playoffs right now without Angel, right?” Swoopes said. “Is Indiana in the playoffs right now without Caitlin? When you look at the overall team, like the pieces that they have, without question, Indiana has better players than Chicago. From top to bottom.”
This part of the quote is essential. Swoopes explains that she’s talking about the overall talent of each team’s roster, not necessarily individual players.
Fans seemed to ignored the above quote and instead focused on others that seemed to assert that Katie Lou Samuelson is more important to the Fever than Caitlin Clark. Also that the Fever would make the playoffs this season even without Caitlin Clark on the team.
We can’t wait for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever to get back on the court after the Olympic break!
