The president of Indiana Fever, Kelly Krauskopf, seemed to delete his account X, and the social media users took note before the team’s victory on Friday evening on the dream of Atlanta.

The apparent abolition was noticed on social networks the same day as the comments of the Krauskopf introductory press conference resurfaced.
During the introductory address of October 8 of Krauskopf, the president of the team spoke of making fever a “sustainable brand like Apple”, while discussing the presence of Clark in the team.
“This is Indiana fever. Yes, we have a fundamental player in Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, and we will continue to add to this. But I want this team to be a leader in the country and a brand, a sustainable brand, like Apple or something. We have a real opportunity here,” said Krauskopf.
Clips of this quote became viral on Friday, which caused criticisms of fans passionate about Clark.
During his full press conference on October 8, Krauskopf suggested that the team will seek to focus on a new demography, compared to the fans he seduced when he won his only WNBA championship in 2012.

“This is the moment when it takes a little time to a generation to reach this level,” said Krauskopf. “I would say to our players:” Listen, we build this for someone else. We are building this for someone’s 10 year old girl now “because that’s what you do. We wanted to keep it moving forward, making him move forward and making him pour.”
“I know what type of support we have, and we have it and that’s where I feel independent and very confident in the direction we are going, because we have this level of support.”
Krauskopf stressed that Clark was 10 years old when the fever won his first title and highlighted the value of the player in recruitment.

“If you are an intelligent basketball player and you look at the path [Caitlin Clark] I play, you would like to play with her, “said Krauskopf.
The fever continued to beat Atlanta 99-82 Friday evening, while Clark scored 12 points in his second return match of a groin injury.
