Colin Cowherd erupts at WNBA star Kelsey Plum for Caitlin Clark jab following All-Star Game stunt

Fox Sports' Colin Cowherd blasted Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum for a joke she made at Caitlin Clark's expense that missed the mark. 

WNBA players are set to be locked in a fight with the league's owners over salary increases and other items as the collective bargaining agreement between the players' union and owners is set to expire at the end of the season.

At this weekend's event, players wore shirts that said 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' - a pointed statement at the owners as they hope to cash in on the rising popularity of the league.

Those shirts were agreed upon at a players meeting on Saturday morning. However, according to Plum, no one from 'Team Clark' (Caitlin's roster for the All-Star Game) attended.

Plum joked, 'Not to tattletale but, zero members of Team Clark were very present for that.'

Sabrina Ionescu, who was part of 'Team Clark', rolled her eyes and replied, 'That really needed to be mentioned.' Plum replied that she was 'trying to make the situation light'.

Judging by that last comment, it's unclear if Plum meant that no one from Clark's team was physically at the meeting - or if they may have been tired or possibly recovering from a night before.

Regardless, Clark and her team wore the shirts throughout the weekend in support of the players' united front to make a better living.

But Plum's comments generated outrage across the internet at the time, and it was discussed again on Monday when Cowherd chipped in.

After Cowherd remarked that the WNBA players are 'going to get a raise, there's no question', he then took aim at Plum's comments.

'Why do you take a shot at the golden goose, Caitlin Clark?' he asked. 'You guys were flying - before she arrived - on one of those airlines that made you pay for a cup of water. One of those airlines that... the planes are the color of a highlighter. Now you're flying private.

'You went from a Motel 6 in a sketchy part of town to a Four Seasons in the shopping district. Stop talking.'

To be clear, Clark wasn't responsible for the WNBA upgrading its travel conditions for players - something the union and players had been demanding for years prior to her arrival in the league (owners who previously provided charter flights for players were even fined by the league before 2024).

Clark missed the first game back from the All-Star Break due to a nagging groin injury. The 12-12 Fever play at home against Las Vegas on Thursday night, with her status for that game unclear.
