Caitlin Clark, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year and former Iowa standout, expressed her disappointment at the absence of Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LX. In a recent episode of “New Heights” with the Kelce brothers, Clark shared her thoughts on the big game.
During the conversation, Clark mentioned that she would be rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but also acknowledged the talent of the Rams and quarterback Sam Darnold. However, she pointed out that the viewership of the game would not be the same without the presence of the Chiefs.
This season, Kansas City has struggled with a record of 6-10, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014. This marks the end of their streak of 10 consecutive postseason berths and three straight trips to the title game.
Clark’s connection to the Chiefs goes back to her childhood in West Des Moines, where she grew up cheering for the team despite living in Iowa. She has attended games at Arrowhead Stadium, including last year’s AFC playoff victory over Houston, where she sat in the luxury suite with Taylor Swift.
On a podcast with the Kelce brothers, Clark was praised for her achievements in basketball, including her NCAA scoring title, being the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, and being named Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year for 2024. This was Clark’s second appearance on the show, where she discussed her rookie season in professional basketball.
Despite her disappointment at the Chiefs’ absence in the Super Bowl, Clark remains a dedicated fan of the team and continues to support them. Her bond with the franchise and her relationship with the Kelce brothers highlight her passion for sports and her admiration for the game.
