Reporter Suspended After Uncomfortable Exchange with Caitlin Clark; Will Not Attend Fever Games
The Indianapolis Star and its owners, Gannett, have suspended Gregg Doyel for two weeks following his awkward interaction with Caitlin Clark during her debut press conference with the Indiana Fever on April 17.
Kravitz claimed that Doyel will continue to write columns for the Fever this season, but will not attend any of the team’s games in person, which will also exclude him from post-game press conferences with players.
Kravitz reports that Doyel will watch the games from home.
The ordeal began when Doyel utilized his time during Clark’s inaugural press conference to make a heart with his hands in front of the basketball star, a gesture Clark became renowned for doing with her family after each Iowa Hawkeyes game.
Clark, perplexed by Doyel’s hand gesture, asked, “You like that?” He replied, “I like that you’re here.”
