Video Shows Caitlin Clark Dealing With Unruly Chaos While Signing Autographs

I was never, ever, in a million years going to be the athlete Caitlin Clark currently is when I was a DIII college baseball player. 

Hence, the DIII part. 

BUT, if I was ever good enough to be Caitlin Clark, I think I would've hated it, because it seems – and looks – sort of awful. I know I know – you get all the fame and wealth. Notoriety and popularity.

Fortune and glory, as that one unruly child kept telling Indy on Temple of Doom. That's all great. 

But you also get … just constant nonsense. Just a bunch of children acting like children, and a lot of adults acting like … children. 

Exhibit A:

Caitlin Clark did much better than I would have

Yeah, that looks, and sounds, awful. No shot I'd have the patience for it. None. For starters, people tend to annoy the bejesus out of me. Like, I can't stand them for the most part. 

My wife accuses me of being anti-social. I'm not anti-social. I'm anti-idiot, and most people are idiots, especially in 2024. I also can't stand when adults act like children at sporting events. I think it's the silliest thing ever. 

If you're a grown ass man, and you still wear a jersey out in public – or beg a 20-year-old athlete to sign your stupid jersey, you're a weirdo. It's weird. That's not a me-problem. It's a you-problem. Those are the facts. 

Anyway, the shit Caitlin Clark has to deal with in this 90-second clip makes my skin crawl. People shouting her name, throwing things at her, dropping jerseys by her face. It's awful. Watching her slap that one jersey away made me smile. Warmed my heart, because it's exactly what I would've done. And he kept coming back and just shoving it in her face. Brutal. 

Credit to Caitlin for pushing through with a smile on her face, though. That's what separates the contenders from the pretenders. The vets from the posers. I could never do it. Luckily, I was never good enough to do it. 

Caitlin is good enough, and she handles it like a pro.
