Racist media personalities like Jemele Hill have NO place in our country or our culture.

Reject them and their backwards, bigoted ignorance.

Caitlin Clark Shamed for Being ‘White, Straight, and From Iowa’​


But Clark, who will lead the Fever against the Sparks on Friday at Crypto.com Arena, also stands out for who she’s not. In a league in which approximately 70% of the players are Black, nearly a third identify as LGBTQ and most come from urban environments, Clark is white, straight, and from Iowa.

And that sets her apart even more than her shooting skills.

“We would all be very naive if we didn’t say race and her sexuality played a role in her popularity,” said Hill, now a contributing writer at the Atlantic and host of the “Jemele Hill is Unbothered” podcast. “While so many people are happy for Caitlin’s success — including the players; this has had such an enormous impact on the game — there is a part of it that is a little problematic because of what it says about the worth and the marketability of the players who are already there.”

Nicole Melton, co-director of the Laboratory for Inclusion and Diversity in Sport at the University of Massachusetts, agrees.

“Cailtin fits a very comfortable narrative for a lot of people in the United States,” she said. “She comes from the heartland. She’s an amazing talent. She’s also a white, straight woman, right? There’s not a lot of things that would make people feel uncomfortable with that person being successful.”

Clark can't help being who she is....very talented and an outstanding long-range shooter, the center point of offense on her successful college team. I do think the media as usual has overhyped her, but again, that is not her fault. The WNBA players should be happy she is in the league and utilize this chance to show all these people watching how talented they all are.

Sorry to interrupt your vicarious sucking of victim-wannabe, but I couldn't find anything in your parroted propaganda to support a claim of persecution. Oh well, I see this thread is just a self-pity party for emasculated Qarens. Enjoy.
