Indiana Fever president deletes her X account after receiving backlash for Caitlin Clark remarks….
Kelly Krauskopf, president of the Indiana Fever, reportedly deleted her X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, July 11 or 12, 2025, after intense backlash over remarks she made comparing the team’s desired brand to Apple, and referring to Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston as “foundational players.” Many fans interpreted this as minimizing Caitlin Clark’s central role in the franchise .
The backlash centered around fans emphasizing that Caitlin Clark is the major driver of the Fever’s recent popularity, with comments like “(95%) of your ‘Brand’ is Caitlin Clark” and *“Caitlin goes and so does 80% of the Fever fanbase!!”* .
Following the release and viral spread of the video excerpt and comments, Krauskopf’s account—with handle @k2indytex—was found to be deactivated. Fox News and others noted that social users observed this disappearance ahead of the Fever’s July 12 home game victory over the Atlanta Dream .
Though no official statement has been issued by the Fever organization confirming the deletion was due to the remarks or backlash, multiple reports describe it as a response to the viral reaction within a short timeframe .
