https://www.foxnews.com/sports/iowas-caitlin-clark-receives-praise-lsus-kim-mulkey-hard-fought-battle" rel="nofollow - Caitlin Clark took the basketball world by storm over the last month as she led Iowa to the brink of a national championship before running out of steam against LSU on Sunday.

One story about Clark went viral over the last few days as she continued her tear through the sport, specifically about a name, image and likeness deal. After legislation passed in 2021 to allow college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, Clark was approached by a https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/midwest/iowa" rel="nofollow - local food bank.

Coralville Community Food Pantry executive director John Boller told The Athletic last week he reached out to Clark through her uncle as she appeared to be the biggest name on the Iowa sports scene at the time. Boller said there were intentions to pay Clark for everything she did on behalf of the food bank but instead the 2023 National Player of the Year worked for free.

Those who brought personal hygiene items to the food bank got to meet Clark and take a picture with her.

YES SIR,Steve!!,,IT IS stories such as this that do bolster our beliefs in our country, the Constitution AND it's people!! Oftentimes we hear and read so much BS about the seemingly headlong rush of those people and groups that work tirelessly to take our country into uncharted territory, where it was never intended to go.

They are able to do those very things by hiding behind the very Constitution that protects THEIR rights,,,,,just mind boggling to say the least,,,,OKAY,,,I'll sit down,,,but I'm not thru by NO MEANS!!

Many KUDUS to Ms Clark, may she continue to be a BEACON for others,,,,,,,,

This is awesome, she is awesome, and this happens more than we think. It's so easy to get bogged down in the negatives, and there's plenty of negatives. Here's another example.
