The Sheryl Swoopes and Caitlin Clark drama is not going away anytime soon. Iowa women’s basketball fans have made shirts aimed at Swoopes and other hoops fans had a lot of thoughts.
Sheryl Swoopes is a Hall of Fame WNBA player. She’s accomplished so much in her career (four WNBA championships, three MVP Awards and six All-Star selections, among other accolades) that she’s considered one of the best to ever do it. Understandably, her thoughts on the game are very different than most people.

So, it wasn’t entirely shocking to hear her say she didn’t think Angel Reese or Caitlin Clark would have an immediate impact in the WNBA or that she wasn’t that impressed with Clark’s current pace to break Kelsey Plum’s scoring record. Of course, word travels fast, and the Iowa women’s basketball social media team was quick to correct some of Swoopes’ thoughts because they were based on inaccurate information.
However, things did not end there. Some Iowa fans were recently spotted in some custom shirts that targeted Swoopes.

The shirts say, “Don’t be a Sheryl,” and women’s basketball fans immediately ripped the Iowa fans responsible for them.
