WNBA player Caitlin Clark turned down a $1 million offer to appear on an episode of “The View.”
The post was published by the Facebook account America – Love It Or Leave It (ALIOLI). Although the end of the caption was cut off, it read: “ABC offered Caitlin Clark a million dollars to sit in on an episode of ‘The View.’ She turned them down….”
A meme added to the post also included an alleged quote attributed to the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) player, which read: “”Have you seen The View? All they do is yell. I can’t figure out why they’re on TV.”

Variations of the rumor appeared elsewhere on social media, such as X and Facebook.

Some readers seemed to interpret the claim as a factual recounting of real-life events. One X user said: “Smart move. There is no winning on that show,” while another added: “Awesome. God bless her.”
However, there was no credible evidence ABC ever made such a proposal to the athlete.
Rather, the rumor about ABC, Clark and The View originated with America’s Last Line of Defense (ALLOD), a website that described its output as being humorous or satirical in nature. The badge in the bottom-right corner of the meme in the Facebook post contained ALLOD’s name and a “Satire” label.
A disclaimer on ALLOD’s website, which also goes by the name of the ‘The Dunning-Kruger Times,’ stated:
Dunning-Kruger-Times.com is a subsidiary of the “America’s Last Line of Defense” network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery, or as Snopes called it before they lost their war on satire: Junk News.
Further, the Facebook post was published by ALIOLI, a page linked to ALLOD, which described itself as “a subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense network of trollery.” Its Facebook Intro also read: “Nothing on this page is real.”
The fictional story spread as Clark’s exclusion from the 2024 Paris Olympics drew the ire of fans.
ALLOD has a history of making up stories for shares and comments. Snopes has addressed similar satirical claims about Clark in the past, including the assertion she turned down a $400 million deal with Nike because of its partnership with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, and a rumor she signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Samsung.
For background, here is why we alert readers to rumors created by sources that call their output humorous or satirical.
