Swoopes not only responded, but she also provided screenshots of what she claims is a text conversation chain with the Indiana Fever star.
“Hey Caitlin, I wanted to personally reach out to you and say I made a mistake on what year this is for you, COVID year has me all confused,” Swoopes wrote. “I also have nothing but respect for you and your game and appreciate your skill. Congrats on everything you have accomplished thus far. Be blessed.”
The next two messages show Clark thanking Swoopes, with the former player then stating another message of appreciation.
Swoopes’ apology came after she made an incorrect statement during an appearance on the ‘Gil’s Arena’ podcast with Gilbert Arenas.
Hours later, DeShields posted a string of hate comments on her Instagram account, with one user referencing the spinal cord tumor she overcame in 2020.
“Head up kid! Hate will not win!! You are covered and ain’t nothing these evil people can do about that. All love for you!” Swoopes wrote to DeShields after the Sky’s loss to Indiana on Friday.
Swoopes also failed to mention Clark during an August episode of her ‘Queens of the Court’ podcast when discussing the recent improvement of the Fever.
This prompted ESPN host Stephen A. Smith to respond to Swoopes, telling her she was “insane to do that.”
“Do you have any idea how that makes you look,” Smith told Swoopes.
Swoopes didn’t waste any time in responding, writing on X: “You talk about whomever and whatever you want to on your podcast. Correct? So why can’t I? Also, did you listen to the ENTIRE episode? NOPE! I have a personal relationship with these players and they deserve recognition as well.”
