The University of Iowa has announced that basketball star Caitlin Clark will have her jersey retired, sparking controversy due to a joke made by a comedian during a recent event.

“The University of Iowa announced that basketball star Caitlin Clark will have her jersey retired and replaced with an apron,” Che said, a joke that wasn’t well received by the audience. “Well, the WNBA draft is this Monday and Iowa star Caitlin Clark is expected to be the No. 1 pick. Here to comment is Caitlin Clark .”

“The Indiana Fever have the first pick in this Monday’s draft,” Che said. “A reminder that Indiana Fever is a WNBA team and not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.”“Netflix’s top new show is ‘Ripley,’ featuring an eerie and unsettling performance by actor Andrew Scott,” Che said. “Critics say it’s the hardest thing to watch on Netflix since Michael Che’s special ‘Shame the Devil.

“I’m sure it will be a big first step for me, but it’s just one step for the WNBA,” she said before going on to thank several players who came before her, including Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, Clark added. “These are the women that kicked down the door so I could walk inside, so I want to thank them tonight for laying down the foundation.”
