Caitlin Clark has made waves in women’s basketball with her exceptional talent and charismatic play. As she continues to rise in prominence, athletes from various backgrounds have shown support for her journey. Simone Biles, an icon in gymnastics and a vocal advocate for mental health and equality, made headlines by traveling to attend one of Clark’s games.
While many celebrated Biles’s show of solidarity, Griner’s reaction raised eyebrows and initiated a dialogue on allyship within the sports community. Brittney Griner, who has long been an advocate for Black athletes and issues of racial equality, took to social media to voice her concerns.
She argued that Biles’s support for Clark, a white athlete, was detrimental to the Black athlete community, suggesting that it undermines the collective struggle for visibility and recognition that Black athletes face. Griner’s comments struck a nerve, prompting both support and backlash from fans and fellow athletes alike.
Caitlin Clark meets Simone Biles, fans go wild, and all are saying the same thing A new era of sports stardom collides
United States Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles made a special appearance at the Indiana Fever versus Connecticut SunWNBA game on Wednesday. Biles, who has been a staridout in the sports world since her debut at the 2016 Olympics, reached new heights in 2024 by winning three gold medals and one silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
After her incredible performance at the Olympics, Biles attended her first WNBA game to support Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The Fever secured a thrilling 84-80 victory over the Sun, and Biles took her WNBA experience to the next level by visiting the locker room to meet Clark and the rest of the team.
Fans were buzzing on social media after witnessing the meeting between Biles and Clark, referring to it as a “goat meeting goat.” Despite their youth, both athletes have solidified themselves as major figures in their respective sports. While Biles holds a prominent position in the gymnastics world, 22-year-old Caitlin Clark is quickly rising as a basketball star.
Biles, at 27, has a five-year edge in experience over Clark and is one of the most decorated Olympic athletes, boasting 11 medals, seven of which are gold.
