Caitlin Clark seems to be inspiring a whole new generation of children, as seen from a viral TikTok video showing a newborn baby getting its first screen time with a video of the Fever legend. The video has been shared and re-shared by many Clark fans who are hailing the move and vowing to do the same for their own little ones.
In the clip, a newborn baby can be seen lying on its side in a crib at the hospital, with a phone placed next to its face. Most fans expressed happiness at the sight of the newborn being exposed to such greatness right after being born.
“Starting them young with Caitlin Clark HLS (laughing with tears emoji)” the TikTok user captioned the video which was shared by Bleacher Report.

Of course, there were many fans who felt that making a little baby watch a video at full-brightness, especially since it’s a newborn, even if it was a Caitlin Clark highlights video. Many others felt that there were far better players than Clark in the league right now, including Paige Bueckers.
“Hell nah show her a complete player like Paige or juju (laughing with tears emoji)” one fan said.
There were many more fans who pointed out that Clark has done nothing to greatly win, despite being a talented player on her own. This is especially in regards to this most recent season, where Clark hardly played because of injuries.
Caitlin Clark & WNBPA Get Negotiation Extension
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark and the WNBPA have received an extension until next year in terms of their CBA. This is pretty great news for the W since many players, including Clark and her rival Angel Reese, were threatening a lockout if better salaries don’t come through.
The league did come out with a new proposal some time back, which does guarantee a much better salary structure, along with revenue sharing. However, many of the players’ other demands were not met, including their demands for flights to travel to games. The WNBPA, of course, rejected this proposal and it seemed like the games will be without players next season.
“We expect substantive movement from the league within this window.” The WNBPA said in their statement after the extension was announced.
With the entry of the likes of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and many fresh faces, the W has seen a surge in ticket sales. And of course, players are demanding their fair share of the profit, just like how the NBA pays their players.
