Caitlin Clark fans are outraged with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey, and are urging her to break up with him.
The uproar began after the Indiana Fever star posted a heartfelt birthday message for McCaffrey on Instagram this Saturday.
“Happy Birthday Con! Celebrating you is easy ? thankful to have someone as selfless and as loving as you in my life,” she wrote, accompanying photos of the couple. “May this be the year you finally find a way to outshoot me ? Love you always.”
While Clark was in Minnesota preparing for a game against the Lynx on Sunday, McCaffrey was seen partying in Las Vegas. Comedian Theo Von shared a video on his Instagram story, showing McCaffrey having a good time with scantily-clad women around him.

This video sparked a wave of backlash from Clark’s fans, who were disappointed and angry at McCaffrey’s behavior. They took to social media to express their discontent, arguing that Clark deserves better than a boyfriend who parties in Vegas while she is on the road for her basketball career.
One fan commented, “Caitlin deserves someone who supports her and isn’t out partying like this,” while another wrote, “It’s a bad look for Caitlin to be associated with someone who behaves like that.”
The video, posted to Von’s story and viewed by his 6.8 million followers, suggests McCaffrey has nothing to hide about his actions. However, fans are not pleased, and the incident has significantly tarnished his image among Clark’s supporters.
As Clark continues to excel on the court, her personal life has now become a point of public interest and scrutiny.
The reaction from her fans indicates a protective stance over the beloved basketball star, with many hoping she reconsiders her relationship with McCaffrey given the recent events.
