Caitlin Clark Silences Lynx Crowd With One Line That Goes Viral
It wasn’t a three-pointer. It wasn’t a buzzer-beater. But Caitlin Clark delivered the most unforgettable moment of the night — and maybe the WNBA season — before the Fever even tipped off against the Minnesota Lynx.
During warmups at Target Center, Clark spotted a row of young Lynx fans in teal jerseys, faces painted and chanting for Napheesa Collier. Without breaking stride, she walked over, leaned down, and calmly said:
“You’re cheering for the wrong team.”
The section froze — then erupted. Kids laughed, parents gasped, Fever teammates doubled over. Within minutes, a TikTok clip titled “Clark Just Stole a Fan from the Lynx ” went viral. By halftime, #WrongTeam topped a million views.
Not everyone was amused. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve called the moment “a question of who the joke’s for.” Critics claimed Clark was stealing attention. Supporters called it charisma the league desperately needs.
The story didn’t end courtside. After the game, Clark signed a Fever jersey for one of the same kids, whispering, “Now you’re cheering for the right team.”
By the next morning, the boy wore it proudly to school. His reason?
“Because she made me laugh. And she signed it.”
