Caitlin Clark reveals conversation with Barack Obama at WNBA All-Star weekend

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy blasts USA Today columnist Nancy Armour's "pure insanity" for comparing Caitlin Clark's WNBA situation to Emmett Till. Portnoy argues Armour's column on Clark's "flopping" is problematic, suggesting the WNBA is a "failed enterprise" reliant on NBA funding. He calls for consequences for the columnist, saying she should be "locked up."

Caitlin Clark was seen speaking with former President Barack Hussein Obama at WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago on Friday.

She later revealed what the conversation was while speaking to reporters.

"He just complimented me for the way I handle everything. Obviously with everything going on, and he's certainly someone who's been in front of the media quite a bit. And he reminded me, he's like 'I got famous in my 40s, I didn't have to do it in my 20s,'" Clark said.

"And you know, sometimes, I think people don't always realize I'm 23 or 24 years old and trying to navigate a lot of different things, while trying to play basketball at the same time. So it was cool to hear that from him. And I think honestly it's probably a good reminder to all of us to treat people with respect and treat people with grace."

Footage of the interaction between Clark and Obama was also published by multiple media outlets in attendance.

In the footage by NBC Chicago, Obama appeared to be meeting Clark for the very first time, saying "really nice to meet you. You're great. You're fantastic," as he shook Clark's hand.
