Clark has always shown respect towards Reese, but McCaffery’s online actions have sparked controversy. Fans have noted that McCaffery, who plays basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has been liking disparaging posts about Reese for over a year.
One social media user pointed out this behavior, emphasizing how both McCaffery and Reese’s brother have engaged in interactions that seem to escalate the rivalry between the athletes.
Despite Clark’s respectful public demeanor towards Reese, McCaffery’s behavior online has introduced a new dimension to their rivalry. How this will affect the relationship between these rising stars in women’s basketball remains to be seen.
