A fan-made poster was all it took to send WNBA Fans into a spiral. X account @clarkmode_ shared a mock Hot Ones poster featuring Caitlin Clark, complete with the caption, “I’ve been waiting for something to happen for a long time caitlin clark.”
That charge was not remotely close to being a charge oof

The idea was simple. Clark, sitting across the table, answers questions while slowly losing her soul to hot wings.
WNBA Fans immediately ran with it. The most quoted reply came from @YeeYeeAstronaut, who joked, “She’s from Iowa. This would kill her [crying emoji].”
The comment hit because it leaned into Clark’s Midwest roots, not as an insult, but as affectionate humor. Spice tolerance jokes followed, but the tone stayed playful.
What pushed the post further was @clarkmode_ replying to their own tweet with a direct plea: “@firstwefeast please make my dream come true [crying emoji].”
That reply quickly became the most liked post in the thread, showing just how many WNBA Fans would tune in if it ever happened.
There was no real pushback in the thread. Some joked she wouldn’t make it past the first wing. Others said her competitive nature would kick in no matter how painful it got. Either way, WNBA Fans agreed on one thing. If Hot Ones is about cultural relevance, Clark fits the bill right now.
Until First We Feast answers the call, the poster stands as fan fiction. But judging by the reaction, WNBA Fans are ready, wings and all.
WNBA Fans React As Caitlin Clark Calls Out Officiating During Iowa vs Nebraska Game
Caitlin Clark found herself back in the middle of an officiating debate on January 1, 2026, this time from her couch. While watching Iowa face Nebraska in NCAA women’s basketball,
Clark posted a simple reaction on X: “That charge was not remotely close to being a charge oof.” WNBA Fans immediately picked it up.

The responses showed how familiar this topic is to WNBA Fans.
One user, @tyshut, focused on the review process rather than the call itself, saying, “Can’t allow the officials on the floor to be the ones reviewing the play. No one wants to admit they were wrong. Need to switch to football style where reviews are done by the booth/offsite.”
Another fan, @cookiern76, connected the moment to Clark’s pro experience. “The NCAA is definitely borrowing refs from the WNBA because what is this?!?! [angry emoji],” they wrote.
That comparison struck a nerve with WNBA Fans who feel the same problems follow players across levels.
Clark didn’t expand on her comment. She didn’t argue or tag anyone. She reacted like any viewer would. That restraint is part of why WNBA Fans often rally around her posts. They see honesty without theatrics.
For WNBA Fans, this moment wasn’t about one charge call. It was about consistency and trust in the system. Clark saying “oof” was enough to reopen a conversation that never really closes.
As usual, WNBA Fans turned a short post into a wider discussion. Not because Clark demanded attention, but because her voice reflects what many have been saying all along.
