An Indianapolis sports columnist will not be covering the biggest story in town — the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark — following his cringeworthy interaction with the basketball icon, a company official said Tuesday. While Indianapolis Star spokesperson Lark-Marie Anton said she could not discuss any “personnel matters or personnel actions,” she confirmed that Gregg Doyel will not be a part of any Fever coverage following his awkward April 17 interaction with Clark.
The meeting went off the rails when Doyel made a heart symbol while he was speaking to Clark, a reference to a gesture she makes for her family in the stands after games. “You like that?” Clark responded. “I like that you’re here,' Doyel said. “I do that at my family after every game, so it’s pretty cool,” she said. “OK, well, start doing it to me and we’ll get along just fine,” Doyel replied.
