In a tweet on Friday, Rodrigues shared a screenshot of a text message threatening to reveal her address and phone number. The sender asked her to remove her “hate posts” about Clark and the Indiana Fever.
“So they’re threatening to leak my phone number and address if I don’t take my posts down,” Rodrigues wrote. “And you want me to act like I’m not relieved these weirdos are out?”
Shortly after, Rodrigues shared another screenshot of a hate message she received. The individual also demanded that she take down posts against Clark and likewise threatened to leak her address.
“And another one,” she wrote. “Mind you, I didn’t mention Caitlin Clark a single time.”
Many social media users reacted to Rodrigues receiving hate messages and threats from fans.
“And this is why they’re called the most toxic fanbase in sports,” one fan tweeted.
“What the h*ll!! What is wrong with these people??” another fan said.
“This is VERY DISTURBING,” one fan commented.
Here are other reactions:
