Sportswriter Who Made Creepy Remark To Caitlin Clark At News Conference Is Reportedly Suspended, Barred From Covering Her WNBA Team


Gregg Doyel, who later apologized, has been suspended for two weeks and will not be allowed to cover Clark's WNBA team.

Doyel began the interaction by mirroring the heart-shaped gesture that Clark makes on court in recognition of her family. The April 17 interaction had already gone viral, however, and now according to local station WISH News 8 and national reports, Doyel has been suspended by Indianapolis Star owner Gannett. But when he does, a spokesperson for the paper also confirmed to News 8, “Indianapolis Star sports columnist Gregg Doyel will not be covering the Indiana Fever.”
