Caitlin Clark has hit back at NFL fans who’ve accused her of jumping on the bandwagon with her support of the Kansas City Chiefs – by pointing out she’s been a fan since childhood.
The 22-year-old Indiana Fever star was introduced to the Chiefs by her dad and was a fan long before Travis Kelce and Parick Mahomes put them on the map.
Speaking on the New Heights podcast, Clark told hosts Jason and Travis Kelce: “I’m sorry Jason, I’m a Midwest kid. So, there’s this picture that’s been circulating from a couple of years ago when I was on Peyton and Eli’s Monday night show where I’m in a full Chiefs outfit.

“I have family in Kansas City and I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, which is only three hours away from Kansas City. So, that’s just the closest NFL team.
“My dad was a big Chiefs fan growing up so people think I’m like a bandwagon Chiefs fan. I’m like, ‘No, I was there before Patrick and Travis’, we were ride or dies so, we’ve been big fans and now obviously all the success you guys have had has made it a lot of fun for us.”

Putting Clark to the test, Travis asked her to name her favorite player from her youth, and the WNBA ace was quick to name ex-tight end Tony Gonzalez.
She said: “We would go to like one game a year growing up with my cousins down in Kansas City and we still try to go. We went to the Christmas Day game last year, I think the year before you might have played on Christmas Eve maybe.
“We went to that and we were sitting outside for that, my toes were like about to fall off, my fingers were about to fall off. I don’t get how you guys play in that type of weather but it’s fun.”
