reporter!y/n and wbbstar!caitlin would be fun...

hi i’m so sorry this took so long 😕 i hope you enjoy this!

plot: short fluff you’re an intern reporter about to do a post game interview for the very first time! you’re super nervous about it and caitlin helps you practice before the real thing.

Reporting Live

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

“Okay, Y/n. Just chill.” You said to yourself in the bathroom mirror. You’d just arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to cover your very first professional basketball game and ask questions at the post-game interview. The game you were covering would be the Indiana Fever against the New York Liberty team. You were trying to hype yourself up for the game, but you were extremely nervous. The Fever had been getting serious media attention ever since Caitlin Clark had recently been drafted to the team, so you knew many people would be tuning in.

You stare at yourself and repeat the mantra you’ve been telling yourself since this morning. “You are brave. You are smart. You are super cool and you are totally ready for this!”

“Ready for what?” You jump in shock and turn around to see Caitlin Clark right behind you. The Caitlin Clark. You stare at her for a second not quite processing how Caitlin Clark is currently standing behind right behind you and asking YOU the INTERVIEWER a question. “Sorry um what did you say?”

Caitlin shrugs, turning on the bathroom faucet and rinsing her hands in the sink. “What’s got you so nervous?” She looked you up and down and smiled, “hey, that’s the reporter lanyard. Are you one of the interviewers?” You nodded shyly and giggled.

“Can you tell it’s my first day?” Caitlin laughed at you and shone her head. “Nope, definitely not. You look totally professional.” You couldn’t tell if she was being sarcastic or serious but you hoped it was the latter.

Caitlin’s words were kind, but you knew they were just that. She didn’t know you, she didn’t know your performance capabilities. There was no real way for her to tell you you’d be any good. You looked at ground and rocked back and forth on your feet slightly. Caitlin noticed this and frowned. Perhaps she could do something to cheer you up? She knew what it was like to be nervous at a new job, as her first WNBA game had just been a week prior.

“Do you wanna maybe, I don’t know, practice interviewing me?” You looked up at her quizzically. “You know,” she continued, “so you aren’t as nervous when it comes to the real thing!” Your cheeks flushed. Not only was she a great player, she also had a great personality.

“We could try that!” Caitlin nodded and signaled for you to start. “Wait. I can’t I don’t have a microphone.” Caitlin rolled her eyes at you and passed her half drank water bottle to you. “Perfect. Okay. Caitlin Clark. What do you think made you want to go pro in basketball? You’ve been amazing ever since you were younger, but what made you want to do this as a career?”

You held the water bottle ‘mic’ in front of Caitlin as she prepared an answer. She took a beat to think about her answer and smiled to herself. “I mean I think I just want kids to have someone to look up to, y’know? I just want them to know that, like, if they have dreams they should pursue them because it might end up paying off.” You nodded your head in response.

“That’s amazing. It’s good to know that besides having a remarkable talent you have such a good heart as well!” Now it was Caitlin’s turn to blush. Her cheeks turned rosy and she lowered her eyes to her shoes.

Caitlin cleared her throat. “Well, y’know, maybe since you asked me a question I can ask you one too.” You looked back at her quizzically.

“Aren’t I the reporter? What question could you possibly have for me?”

Caitlin stood up and walked closer to you, her eyes staring at you seriously. “Can I get your number?” You paused. Was the Caitlin Clark asking you out?

“How do you know I swing that way, Clark?”

“I guess that’s my second question for you. Do you swing my way?” You rolled your eyes at her and made a grabbing gesture with your hand and pointed at her phone in her pocket. She took it out and went to add a new contact and passed it to you. You typed your number in and before you knew it Caitlin had to leave to go warm up. You wished her luck and off she went.

The game was close, but the Fever ended up losing. You could tell by Caitlin’s face she looked disappointed. Her frown seemed to fade away when you walked up to the Fever team to do a post game interview. You went along the line of women, asking each one significant questions correlating to their stats and achievements in the game, and what they thought would come next. You sighed a breath of relief when it was finally over. The interviews went seamlessly, but that didn’t mean you weren’t going to still find something to worry about. You walked out to your car and started your car up to drive home, alone with yourself and your thoughts. That was until you got a ping on your phone.

unknown number:

great job on your first day! you didn’t look nervous at all, i guess the practicing helped? hopefully?

maybe getting dinner sometime could calm your nerves for next game :)

FEVER VS SKY IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN.

Photos by Christopher Hall

On Father's Day in Indianapolis, the Indiana Fever picked up their fifth win on the season in a a sold out and loud Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Fever improved to 2-0 versus the Sky this season with a 91-83 win. Caitlin Clark led all scorers with 23 points, plus eight rebounds and nine assists and two blocks. Clark and Aliyah Boston, who added 19 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks herself, vibed together all afternoon.

The Fever and the Sky boast some of the best young talent in the WNBA and feel fated to develop into a deep rivalry in the Eastern conference. “The emotion, the passion that we play with – I think people love to see that,” Clark said. “And I think that’s maybe not something that was always appreciated in women’s sports. And it should be. I think that’s what makes it fun…We’re competitors. That’s the way the game should be. It’s going to get feisty, it’s going to get physical. But at the end of the day, both teams are just trying to win.”

Caitlin Clark May Not Get Paid As Well As Her Male Counterparts, But At Least She Gets Sexually Harassed by the Press

Caitlin Clark was introduced as a member of the WNBA's Indiana Fever for the first time Wednesday, as the No. 1 draft pick met the media at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. While Clark will make much less than her male counterparts in the NBA, the star guard from Iowa will also have to deal with unwanted and inappropriate comments from male reporters. When it was his turn to ask Clark a question, Gregg Doyel, an award-winning columnist for The Indianapolis Star, made a heart gesture with his hands in her direction, which Clark recognized as the signal she gives her family after every game. That gesture has become associated with Clark and was featured in one of her State Farm commercials. When Clark made the association, Doyel responded in the most creepy misogynistic way, “Start doing it to me, and we’ll get along just fine.” There was near-universal agreement that what Doyel said was inappropriate, disrespectful to Clark, and generally uncomfortable. He has since apologized, but come on!

Indiana Fever R&D

The Indiana Fever is a pretty well known women's basketball team stationed in Indianapolis Indiana (where I was born funny enough). Founded in 2000, they play their home games at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Their mascot is a horse named Boomer, which is an interesting choice for sure. In 2012 they scored their first championship, but they made it to the finals in 2009. Unfortunately they haven't gotten a championship win since, but they have gotten to the playoffs a few times. Their claim to fame was the star player Tamika Catchings, who to this day is the team's best player in its history. She got awarded Defensive Player of The Year 5 times. Caitlin Clark is on the team today, and she's looking to be one of the best players of all time too. The teams game plan has always had a focus on a strong defence, and for a while it worked pretty well.

The teams design is ok, but I personally think it's a little convoluted. I do really like their color choice it's pretty striking. The main issue I have is that the elements are kind of thrown together, at least to me. The mascot doesn't fit the name, and the name doesn't really fit at all. It reminds me of the Miami Heat, but a bootleg version. I get what they were going for but I think a new name alone would help a lot. The name I'm thinking is the Indiana Engines, both because of Indiana's history of races, both cars and horses (horsepower is also how we rate engine strength) and it would connect to the Pacers a lot better. The color scheme also reminds me of a few racecar patterns/schemes, I definitely want the colors to stay the same.
