Caitlin Clark standing by her man wasn’t enough for some fans.
They had a field day commenting on how bored the Indiana Fever star appeared to look while 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 shown during the broadcast in a blue Butler hoodie with the Bulldogs up 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.
“Legit she stays on that phone at these games. Bored AF lol,” user @jortizie93 wrote on X.
“She look miserable everytimes (sic) she’s in that building,” wrote @jennieverse_22.

Added @lyokangirl: “She’s literally only there to support her man because why is she always on her phone at these games.”
One user referred to Clark emotionally getting into the Iowa women’s basketball team’s game against Drake in her return on Monday, where she didn’t hold back on the officials.
“Will we see her yelling at the refs tonight? Lol,” @sara_skittle wrote.
Others were just happy Clark was out doing things others would.

Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend Connor McCaffery are seen on the field before the start of the game between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees in August.
“She wants as much as a normal life as people will allow,” @BasketballJunk0 wrote
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 break.
Clark has remained 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, has hit the links for a pro-am event and will also be part of the ownership group trying to bring an NWSL team to Cincinnati.
She will likely be seen at more Butler games — and hopefully ones more exciting than their 78-39 win over Merrimack in which they allowed just eight second-half points.
