The article shared on esspots.com narrated that Caitlin Clark, the upcoming basketball sensation, had refused the whopping $400 million deal from Nike, leading to a widespread discussion. For rejecting the offer, Clark cited her disagreement with Nike's collaboration with Colin Kaepernick, whom she harshly called "that Kaepernick clown."
It's also worth noting that Clark inked a historical $28 million, 8-year sponsorship deal with Nike, contradicting the rumors of the hefty decline. Moreover, she has also undertaken a long-term collaboration with Wilson Sporting Goods. This agreement involves launching exclusive basketball collections and her contributions to product progression. Therefore, the $400 million decline story is just a tall tale.
