Patrick Bet-David GOES OFF on Brittney Griner After SHOCKING SLUR COMMENTS About Caitlin Clark
Business mogul and podcast host Patrick Bet-David has entered the fray of WNBA controversy, slamming Brittney Griner for what he described as “completely unacceptable and divisive” remarks made about rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.
During a recent episode of his show PBD Podcast, Bet-David pulled no punches, reacting to comments reportedly made by Griner in a closed post-game conversation — comments that some allege included a slur aimed at Clark’s sudden rise in fame.
“Brittney Griner just exposed herself,” Bet-David said. “This isn’t about basketball anymore. It’s about ego, resentment, and insecurity. If the reports are true — and she did use those words about Caitlin Clark — she owes the fans, the league, and Clark herself a massive apology.”
The remarks in question, though not recorded on video, allegedly came after a particularly physical matchup between Griner’s team and Clark’s. A source close to the locker room claimed Griner was heard using derogatory language, referring to Clark as “overhyped” and “just another media puppet.”
Bet-David wasn’t buying it.
“Caitlin Clark is a once-in-a-generation talent,” he continued. “She’s earned everything through performance, through leadership, through work ethic. What Brittney did — if true — wasn’t criticism. It was character assassination.”
Social media exploded as the debate spread beyond the court and into mainstream commentary. Clips of Bet-David’s outburst gained traction on platforms like X and Instagram, amassing millions of views within hours.
Fans were divided. Some stood firmly behind Griner, claiming she’s being unfairly portrayed and targeted in an already hostile media landscape. Others, especially those new to women’s basketball thanks to Clark’s popularity, demanded accountability.
“She should be suspended,” one fan wrote online. “You can’t go around insulting your colleagues because you’re mad they’re getting attention.”
Bet-David echoed that sentiment. “This is why people tune out,” he said. “You have young talent trying to build the game, and veterans tearing them down. The WNBA needs to decide what it stands for.”
Clark has not publicly responded to the controversy, staying focused on her game and refusing to feed into the media circus. Her quiet professionalism has only drawn more praise — and more comparisons to stars like Steph Curry and Diana Taurasi.
Meanwhile, WNBA officials have reportedly launched an internal review into the alleged comments. While Griner’s camp has yet to make a public statement, sources close to the player insist her words were taken out of context.
This isn’t the first time Griner has made headlines for off-court drama. Following her detainment in Russia and return to the U.S., she became a polarizing figure — hailed as a symbol of resilience by some, criticized as entitled by others.
Bet-David, known for his no-holds-barred commentary, was unapologetic. “This isn’t a political issue. This is about sportsmanship, maturity, and professionalism. You’re a veteran. Act like it.”
As pressure mounts, many wonder if this moment will force a reckoning within the WNBA. Can veterans and rookies coexist under the spotlight? Or is this the beginning of a deeper divide?
Whatever the outcome, the league has never been more talked about. And as Bet-David closed his rant, he left viewers with a final, biting thought:
“If Brittney Griner feels threatened by Caitlin Clark, maybe she should let her game do the talking — not her mouth.”
