Caitlin Clark alongside her man wasn’t enough for some fans.
They had a busy day commenting on how bored the Indiana Fever star looked while she was in the stands for Butler’s game against Merrimack College at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Friday.
Boyfriend Connor McCaffery, the son of Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, is an assistant coach for the Bulldogs, and his brother, Patrick, is a freshman forward.
Clark, the WNBA Rookie of the Year, was featured on the broadcast in a blue Butler hoodie as the Bulldogs led 39-31 early in the second half.
All fans could talk about was how disinterested she looked as she chatted with the person next to her and started typing on her phone.
“Legitimately, she stays on that phone during these games. Bored AF lol,” user @jortizie93 wrote on X.
“She looks unhappy every time (sic) she’s in this building,” wrote @jennieverse_22.
@lyokangirl added: “She’s literally only there to support her man because why is she always on the phone during these games.”
One user spoke of Clark emotionally entering the Iowa women’s basketball team’s game against Drake upon her return Monday, where she did not hold up the officials.
“Will we see her yelling at the referees tonight? Lol,” wrote @sara_skittle.
Others were just happy that Clark was doing things that others would do.

“She wants a normal life as much as she wants people to allow it,” wrote @BasketballJunk0
Clark and McCaffery met at Iowa, where he also played basketball, and have been dating since April 2023.
They also attended a Yankees game together this summer during the WNBA’s Olympic vacation.
Clark has stayed busy since her WNBA season ended when the Fever — who have since fired coach Christie Sides and hired Stephanie White — were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The former Iowa star, who declined an invitation to play in the new 3×3 Unrivaled league, took part in a pro-am event and will also be part of the ownership group trying to bring a team from the NWSL in Cincinnati.
She’ll likely be seen at more Butler games — and hopefully more exciting ones than their 78-39 win over Merrimack in which they allowed just eight points in the second half.
