Brittney Griner Ignites Controversy by Threatening to “Curse” Caitlin Clark for Joining Canada

The decision by the Canadian women’s basketball team to “rescue” American star Caitlin Clark for the 2024 Paris Olympics has caused a major stir in the sports world. But perhaps no one has spoken out as strongly as legendary player Brittney Griner.

In explosive remarks, Griner accused Clark of being a “traitor to the United States” for considering joining the Canadian team. Furthermore, she warned that if the young star dared to compete under the Canadian flag, she would “curse her”.

“Caitlin Clark has proven to be a great player, but if she decides to betray her country to play for Canada, then she will have to face the consequences,” Griner declared angrily. “I will personally make sure to curse her until she repents of her decision.”

Griner’s harsh words have ignited a fierce debate among fans on social media and in the media. While some support the veteran’s position, others consider her threats unacceptable and believe Clark should have the freedom to choose the team she wants to represent.

“I understand Brittney’s patriotism, but she can’t pretend to impose her will on a young and talented athlete like Caitlin Clark,” opined one fan on Twitter. “Each athlete should have the right to represent the country that best fits their aspirations.”

For their part, the Canadian basketball authorities have maintained their firm stance, assuring that they will do everything possible to recruit Clark and that they will not be intimidated by Griner’s warnings.

This unprecedented situation has highlighted the tensions and loyalties that can arise in high-level international sports. As the Olympic Games approach, the dispute over Caitlin Clark seems far from being resolved, with Brittney Griner and the Canadian team in a confrontation that promises to continue making headlines.
