Caitlin Clark is one of the most exciting young American athletes. Last season, Clark exploded in popularity thanks to her incredible playing ability on the Indiana Fever basketball team. She's also revealed she harbors a passionate love for a different sport.
Clark recently attended the NFL Annual League Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, where she was one of the key speakers. There, she revealed just how much she loved football and would have loved the opportunity to play flag football when she was a kid.
"Growing up, I had an older brother who played football," said Clark to the audience. "My grandfather was a football coach for 40-plus years and I remember going to my brother's football games and I was like, 'Why can't I flag football?' Like, I would have played it and would have loved it."
Clark was speaking on the subject of the LA Olympics, which will spotlight flag football as an exhibition sport. Flag football has been growing in America, especially for women, with many different schools and colleges allowing them to join teams, something that they weren't allowed to do in the past.
After one of the panelists said that Clark would have made a great flag football player, Clark laughed and said, "Maybe LA 2028, maybe I'll do two sports. Or if basketball doesn't work out, I'll head over to flag football."
Clark's iconic encounter with Serena Williams
At the same event, Clark met up with none other than Serena Williams, resulting in an unforgettable moment for sports fans of all sorts. Williams shared a selfie of the two at the NFL event, where they were speakers.
Williams and Clark were a part of "The Changing Face of Sports and Its Impact on the NFL” chat, where they were joined by NFL veteran Eli Manning, with the three discussing the future of the NFL and the roles they each played in their respective sports.
