Basketball Fans Celebrating Caitlin Clark For Incredible Gesture
Basketball Fans Celebrating Caitlin Clark For Incredible Gesture originally appeared on The Spun. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark proved Friday that you don't need to be on the court to make an impact. Clark has been sidelined since July 15 due to a right groin strain. The Fever announced this week that there's no timetable for her return. They'll take a patient approach to this process, especially since they don't want to jeopardize the former No. 1 pick's long-term health. On Friday afternoon, the two-time WNBA All-Star took time out of her schedule to support IPS Northwest Middle School. Students received backpacks filled with school supplies and books courtesy of the Caitlin Clark Foundation. Clark's foundation wants to "uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sports." We'd say she's accomplishing that goal. After Clark wrapped up her visit to IPS Northwest Middle School, fans praised her for being a true role model. "As an upcoming first year teacher this is just another reason why I love her. My students will know who she is," one fan commented. "My girl CC is amazing both on and off the court!!!!! Luv her so much," a second fan said. "Good Job Caitlin," another fan wrote. "Soo much respect for her. She is an amazing person," an Instagram user said. Earlier this year, the Caitlin Clark Foundation teamed up with Musco Lighting to provide new basketball courts at four middle schools in Des Moines, Iowa. "The Caitlin Clark Foundation is thrilled to be a partner in delivering these sport systems to the Des Moines schools and the greater community," a previous statement read. "Providing courts for local youth helps them find opportunities to play and connect with others. Sport activities provided by these courts help develop connections, foster teamwork, and improve communication. These are essential skills that complement the education journey and will have an impact beyond the court experience." Kudos to Clark for truly making an impact on the next Fans Celebrating Caitlin Clark For Incredible Gesture first appeared on The Spun on Jul 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 26, 2025, where it first appeared.

Behind Suki Waterhouse's cover of Role Model 'Look At That Woman' for Like A Version
Suki Waterhouse knew she wanted to cover Role Model's 'Look At That Woman' as soon as she heard it on the record. Plus it helped that she was a big fan of his, too. "I went to a Role Model show a couple of weeks ago in LA and I was just obsessed," she said. "I knew that I wanted to do that song in particular because it's so smooth and I feel like it sate nicely in my vocal register." To Suki, 'Look At That Woman' is a "sneaky heartbreak song" that reminds her of Fleetwood Mac – one that has the potential to stand the test of time. But for her cover, she wanted to put not just her own twist on the track, but a feminine bent entirely. "I wanted to flip it on its head and do it from a female perspective," she said. "And turn it from a heartbreak song for a guy into, like, a celebratory song from a woman's perspective. I was imagining looking out to all these incredible women that are in music right now, and yeah I was kind of singing it for them." Damn, Suki, you're breaking our hearts with this ode.
