ESPN Oddly Scrubs Video Of Heated Caitlin Clark Dropping F-Bombs, But The Internet Quickly Finds It

Published|Updated

ESPN has a new Caitlin Clark documentary set to drop this weekend, and spent all day Friday promoting the hell out of it on all their social media accounts. 

Duh. Of course they would. Smart. Looks great, by the way. Like it or not, ESPN does usually put out some solid documentary content. Credit where credit is due. 

Anyway, the teaser trailer for the documentary, Full Court Press, went viral yesterday for a pretty obvious reason: it showed us a side of Caitlin Clark we've never really gotten to see. 

And that's a PISSED OFF Caitlin Clark, which, frankly, was pretty awesome. Love to see the angry side of athletes. Humanizes them. We're all so robotic in this country nowadays. 

For some reason, that particular version of the trailer was taken down on all of ESPN's accounts and replaced with another one – not showing Clark dropping F-bombs after a loss to Nebraska earlier this year. 

Now, I have no idea why ESPN would take it down. I assume either someone in Clark's camp got to them, which would seem silly, or someone in Bristol HQ didn't like what he/she/they (see what I did there?) saw. 

Regardless, it was scrubbed entirely … until it wasn't. 

You can't simply erase a video in 2024. The internet doesn't work like that. 

Why would ESPN replace the Caitlin Clark video?

I mean, it's a pretty harmless clip if you ask me. Why would ESPN – as you can see in the above three screenshots – erase it? I don't get it. 

And, beyond that, why did they think that would remove it from the internet entirely? Do they know how this thing works? The internet is forever. 

The second you put something on it, you've made your bed. And when you put out a video showing a pissed off Caitlin Clark behind closed doors, it's really gonna be there forever. 

Why? I don't understand. Again, the clip is cool. I love it. Love to see athletes in a normal setting speaking like normal humans. The cameras ruin everything. They all just become robots when they're on, because they're scared of the PC police. 

But this makes me love Caitlin Clark even more. And it really makes me want to watch something on ESPN, which is almost unbelievable for me to say at this point because ESPN is the worst. 

Strange move, but they're weird birds over there. 

Thank God for the internet, though. 

By the way, the trailer ESPN used instead is also pretty cool. Again, credit where it's due:
