The rivalry lines just got a whole lot deeper — and this time, it’s not on the football field.
During the Indianapolis Colts game yesterday, hometown hero and WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark was brought onto the field to be honored alongside her Indiana Fever teammates. The crowd roared, cameras flashed, and the team presented each player with a personalized Colts jersey as part of the ceremony.
But when it came time for Caitlin Clark’s moment… she politely refused to put it on.
Fans in the stadium noticed immediately — and social media exploded within minutes. Clark, smiling but firm, reportedly told a team rep:
“I can’t wear that — I’m a Chiefs fan through and through.”
The quote spread like wildfire across X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of comments pouring in from both sides:
- Chiefs fans hailed her as “the real MVP of loyalty.”
- Colts fans called her move “disrespectful on home turf.”
Clark has never hidden her allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs, frequently posting about Patrick Mahomes and wearing Chiefs gear courtside. But this public refusal — on live television, in front of her hometown crowd — took things to another level.
Even some NFL commentators weighed in, saying it’s “the kind of loyalty Mahomes himself would appreciate.”
As one viral post perfectly summed it up:
“She may play in Indiana… but her heart beats in Kansas City.”
And for Chiefs Kingdom, that’s all they needed to hear.
