Caitlin Clark had herself a viral moment this past weekend, and it had nothing to do with basketball.
Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates took their feet off the gas on Saturday despite having to gear up for a huge game against the Phoenix Mercury. The former Hawkeye enjoyed some downtime at a Phoenix pool with Lexie Hull, Katie Lou Samuelson, and others.
In a clip shared to TikTok, Hull is heard asking the rookie whether she wants to “play Mermaids.” Clark says yes before getting out of the pool, jumping into an ice bath, jogging back, and cannonballing into the first pool.

Diana Taurasi Had Some Praise For Caitlin Clark On Sunday
Caitlin Clark and Diana Taurasi faced off for the first time on Sunday in a highly-anticipated match given added importance by the latter’s warning that “reality” was coming for the WNBA’s rookies, more so the former Iowa guard.
The Fever hold the bragging rights for now, coming back from a 15-point deficit to snatch an 88-82 win. Clark was one rebound shy of a triple-double as she scored 15 points, added 10 assists, and nine boards.
Fever head coach Christie Sides said the player didn’t feel well, although she still played all but 33 seconds in the much-needed win.
Taurasi had 19 points for Phoenix, with Brittney Griner scoring 24 and Natasha Cloud registering 15.
“It’s amazing to see what Caitlin has done, and the one thing I really love about her is she loves the game,” Taurasi said after the loss. “She’s put the work in, and there’s been a lot of things thrown at her, and she keeps getting better every single game. Her future is super bright.”
The two teams will play again on Friday, July 12.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
