Big3 Fires Reporter for Caitlin Clark Social Post

Rachel DeMita, a courtside reporter for the Big3 basketball league and prominent basketball influencer, was fired after posting social media highlights of WNBA star Caitlin Clark during a Big3 broadcast. League executives viewed DeMita's posts as promoting a rival league, citing her responsibility to focus solely on Big3 content while on duty. Tensions between the Big3 and Clark had already escalated when Clark turned down a $5 million per year offer from the Big3 to join the WNBA's Indiana Fever. DeMita's firing has sparked debate about influencer roles in sports media and league competition. Neither DeMita nor the Big3 have issued official statements about the incident. Clark continues to be a leading figure in women's basketball.
