Chicago Sky Still Won't Comment Or Provide Proof That Caitlin Clark Fan 'Harassed' Players In Public

Over a week ago, Angel Reese and other players from the Chicago Sky WNBA team claimed on social media a man "harassed" them while arriving at their team hotel. 

The players say the man specifically targeted Chennedy Carter, best known for aggressively hip-checking Caitlin Clark on the court the weekend prior. 

"Finding out our teams hotel to pull with a camera as we get off the bus and put it in my teammates face & HARASS her is NASTY WORK. this really is outta control and needs to STOP," Reese posted on X.

Sky forward Michaela Onyenwere accused him of calling Carter and the other women "ghetto bitches." Isabelle Harrison said the man stormed at them to the point they "couldn’t even step off the bus."

However, a video has since emerged of the man in question. Based on the clip, he didn't "harass," storm at, threaten the safety, or get in the face of the players – as the women stated.

Rather, per the video, he simply recorded himself asking Chennedy Carter if she "had a chance to reach out to Caitlin Clark."

Watch below:

As we acknowledged last week, someone recording you without your permission is an uncomfortable feeling. We understand that. 

However, that's what happens to public figures in the news. Carter and the team were in the news last week about the fight they chose to pick with Clark.

WNBA players say they want society to treat them like their male counterparts. Fine. But that means facing the same scrutiny as the male players. Namely, photographers and randos with camera phones frequently target NFL and NBA players when in public.

That's to say, the only available video from the alleged incident directly contradicts the story the players told – as did a description of the event from Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca.

Pagliocca depicted the "incident" exactly as shown in the clip. 

"It was over as fast as it started," Pagliocca told the Chicago Sun-Times. "I’m very confident in our security always making our players feel safe. Today was a great example of how critical they are to our team."

"The man had a camera and was trying to approach guard Chennedy Carter, however security was able to de-escalate the situation without the assistance of police, general manager Jeff Pagliocca [said]," added USA Today.

OutKick asked the Chicago Sky for comment last Thursday. We followed up today, a week later. The team has never responded.

David Hookstead also asked several members of the team for comment and/or proof of their accusations. "They all refused to respond," noted Hooksteaed.

So, our questions remain:

– Is there proof of what the women allege, that the man harassed them, called them "ghetto bitches," and wouldn't let them off the bus?

– If so, why isn't that captured on video?

– If so, wouldn't the hotel have footage to corroborate what the women claim?

– Why did the team GM's telling of the event, which the video supports, tell a different story than his players?

– Does the team stand by the players or the GM?

OutKick will update this story if the team provides any of the above answers. We will even include a video proving Angel Reese correct, if any such video exists.

Could we have uncovered the Jussie Smollett of sports? 

Well, there's already fierce competition for that title – from the Duke Lacrosse hoax to the BYU hoax to the Bubba Wallace noose hoax.

See a trend?
