Phil Helsel is a reporter for NBC News.
An Indianapolis sports columnist has apologized for flashing a heart symbol with his hands, as well as for his subsequent comments, to new Indiana Fever player and college basketball star Caitlin Clark in what soon became an “awkward” interaction. Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel at Clark’s introductory press conference with the WNBA team made the heart symbol while speaking to her, to which Clark responded, “You like that?” Doyel replied, “I like that you’re here.

He called himself “another insensitive man,” and said he offended Clark and her family while trying to be “clever” and “welcoming.” “After going through denial, and then anger — I’m on the wrong side of this? Me??? — I now realize what I said and how I said it was wrong, wrong, wrong. I mean it was just wrong,” Doyel wrote. “Caitlin Clark, I’m so sorry.
