Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis has been a prominent supporter of women’s sports for quite some time now. But women’s basketball has been coming to him in recent years only. However, he is already showing up anywhere and everywhere to display his interest in the sport. So far, he has appeared in multiple games where Caitlin Clark took the floor, whether in college or pro leagues. Not just that, the duo along with Sue Bird also hung out last month, giving fans a huge celebratory moment. Hence, his presence at Crypto.com tonight made Clark fans believe his loyalty to the rookie.

The American actor and comedian has not left any stones unturned when it comes to supporting his favorite players or teams. Previously, he was also present at the Liberty vs Fever as they hosted Caitlin Clark and Co. at the Barclays Center. Then, the long-time Liberty fan wore their Seafoam green WNBA hoodie. However, when Holly Rowe asked about his split, he had a simple answer. He said that he was wearing a Caitlin Clark tee under his hoodie.

Before the No. 22 was even drafted by Indiana, Sudeikis had been showing up for her. Whether you go back to their Final Four game against UConn or the Wooden ceremony, he is always there for the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer. Today again, he came out in WNBA’s special hoodie, to show support for the entire league. Hence, he is not only bringing in the eyes but also adding to the overall profits by buying the official merch.

But not everyone was pleased with his choice of outfit. A Sparks fan present in LA got frustrated with Sudeikis. They blamed him for not wearing any of the five colors in support of the LA team.

Well, even though the Sparks fam thought he was there for them, the world knows he was supporting Caitlin Clark.
