Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL player Shannon Sharpe has given some stringent remarks regarding Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star and Stephanie White's heated argument went viral on social media.
The argument occurred during the Indiana Fever's game against the Portland Fire, which saw White also pulling Clark out of the game, replacing her with rookie Raven Johnson. Sharpe has reacted to it in his Nightcap podcast.
"Y'all know me, I've been in Caitlin Clark's corner," he said. "
But enough is enough now. I'm tired of her behavior...I'm tired of the entitlement. Enough is enough! Play basketball." He continued ranting about Clark's behavior and her play.
"She's not holding up her end, and I love Stephanie White for this," he said. "You all say she got passion; where is the passion on defense?"

The Indiana Fever lost their game against the Fire 100-84, which saw Clark getting just six points in the game. She also gave six assists to her teammates before being called out by White after their argument.
This was the second time that the two teams faced each other, with the Fever taking victory in the first game by 90-73. Clark was not part of this game, having had a back injury before it, and the Fever faced scrutiny for their late injury report.
But how have Clark and the Indiana Fever withstood the pressure this season?
Caitlin Clark and The Fever Look To Bounce Back
The Fever have not been in good form recently, having lost two games against the Golden State Valkyries and the Fire. They will now look to bounce back.
As for Clark, she has been in the news lately, but for rather peculiar reasons regarding her behavior, such as this incident and her trash-talking with Tiffany Hayes in the first game versus the Valkyries.
She would now look to brush things aside and focus on the next game. The Fever play the Atlanta Dream next on Thursday, a team that stands first in the Eastern Conference Division with a 5-2 record.
The Fever, on the other hand, has lost four games out of the eight played so far. The two teams will face each other for the first time this season, with the Fever looking to find a winning way again.
