Did the Fever fire Stephanie White and hire Iowa's Jan Jensen over Caitlin Clark?
· Yahoo Sports
A fake news post has gone all the way to one of sports media's biggest commentators.

A couple of fake posts insinuating that the Indiana Fever have fired coach Stephanie White and hired Iowa's Jan Jensen as the next head coach tricked Fox Sports' Skip Bayless into providing commentary on a fake event.
COMMENTARY: The Caitlin Clark double standard is real and suffocating
White is still the coach of the Fever; an in-game tiff with superstar guard Caitlin Clark isn't going to change that. That would never cause a team to fire a coach, particularly with White's success and her established relationship with Clark. Some fans just are furious over Saturday's Fever loss to the Portland Fire (and so, so much else), so a couple of fake posts about White's firing and Jensen's hiring may spring up to rile up folks.
Again, this is all fake. Bayless just got duped by some fake social media posts.
No surprise: Stephanie White reportedly out after repeated in-game clashes with Caitlin Clark. Not saying White was wrong - but YOU CAN'T SHOW UP THE FACE OF THE LEAGUE ON CAMERA. Caitlin obviously wants a favorite of hers from Iowa, Jan Jensen. But no way Jensen can coach both.

Bayless has to be more careful, as do we all. The fake posts run rampant on social media these days.
Just in case you need any more convincing...
IndyStar's Chloe Peterson confirmed that the fake reports were indeed fake and tripped up Bayless.
For those that have seen Skip Bayless’ tweet about reports of Stephanie White being let go from the Fever: I’m told there is absolutely no validity to that report.

Stephanie White is still the head coach in Indiana.
