Gregg Doyel, a sports reporter from the Indianapolis Star, has been met with consequences from the news outlet and its owners, Gannett, after an uncomfortable incident with basketball prodigy Caitlin Clark.
The disciplinary action comes after the Indiana Fever picked Clark as the number one in the WNBA draft and embarked on their new season.
Former Star reporter Bob Kravitz revealed that Doyel had been suspended for two weeks after his exchange with Clark at her introductory press conference with the Indiana Fever on April 17.
As per Kravitz’s report, Doyel will continue contributing columns on the Fever throughout the season. However, he will not attend any team’s games or post-game press conferences alongside players. Instead, Doyel will watch the games from the comfort of his own home.

It was supposed to be a uniformly joyous occasion. The 22-year-old college hoops phenom and overall No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, Caitlin Clark, was being introduced to the media and fans of the Indiana Fever, which had drafted her. Then came a back and forth with longtime Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel.
Doyel began the interaction by mirroring the heart-shaped gesture that Clark makes on court in recognition of her family.
“You like that?” Clark asked him with a smile.
“I like that you’re here. I like that you’re here,” replied Doyel.
“Yeah, I do that to my family after every game. Pretty cool,” stated Clark.
“Well, start doing it to me, and we’ll get along just fine,” said Doyel.
Later that same day, Doyel wrote a mea culpa in which he called his behavior “creepy,” and saying he had acted from “ignorance.”
He continued, “In my haste to be clever,...

Live sports are coming to Disney+ sooner than you might think.
ESPN says next Tuesday’s WNBA tip-off games, including Caitlin Clark’s regular season debut with the league, will stream on Disney+.
On May 14, Clark’s Indiana Fever will face off against the Connecticut Sun, and the Phoenix Mercury will face the Las Vegas Aces. Both games will stream on Disney+, the company says, and will also be available on ESPN+ and ESPN2.
The WNBA games are a big deal, as until now, Disney+ has not been in the live sports business, with one rare exception. Disney has done some experimental streams with the NFL and NHL, in which it used technology to stream games live, but with animated characters in place of the actual athletes.
The WNBA games will be the full, studio productions, not animated simulcasts. And given the hype and interest Clark is bringing to the league,...
