Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend is bringing more fire to the rivalry

Caitlin Clark’s romantic partner, Connor McCaffery, has recently come under scrutiny for his social media activities, particularly for liking negative posts directed at Angel Reese. This issue has garnered attention due to the ongoing rivalry between Clark and Reese, dating back to their intense matchup in the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship Game.

While Clark has consistently maintained a respectful stance towards Reese, McCaffery’s actions on social media have raised eyebrows. McCaffery, who plays basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has been accused by fans of endorsing disparaging remarks about Reese by liking such posts for more than a year.
