Caitlin Clark biographer criticizes WNBA commissioner's safety decisions

Christine Brennan, biographer of Caitlin Clark, criticized WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert for delayed implementation of full-time charter flights for players, which began in May 2024. Brennan highlighted that security concerns became urgent after a viral incident in 2024 when Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates were seen in a public terminal, raising safety risks for players. The lack of prior action following Brittney Griner's release from Russia and her own ordeal in an airport also drew condemnation from Brennan. Engelbert's leadership on this issue is called into question, with her tenure scheduled to end in December 2026.
