Caitlin Clark was asked about supposedly racist comments made online in support of her. Her initial response was something like, I’m focused on playing basketball, that has nothing to do with me. When another WNBA player took offense to her comment, wouldn’t you know it, Clark came back with a more apologetic, groveling statement. Ain’t that a bitch?
Now Clark says it’s “disappointing” that her name is used to promote “misogyny” and “racism” against other WNBA players, according to People magazine. But what is the misogyny? People make jokes about the WNBA, about the lay ups, the lack of dunking, the lack of an audience, etc. Is that misogyny compared to what women in Iran deal with? Get some perspective, people.
According to People magazine, people “spew racism” in Caitlin Clark’s name. But I don’t’ know about that. It seems that people are saying online that Clark is being bullied, fouled, literally pushed to the floor for no reason, and the fact that she’s a White girl might have something to do with that. Is it racism to raise that question? At least, in these commenters’ perspective, Clark is experiencing racism and resentment in the WNBA.
Some would say players like Angel Reese, a 6′ 3″ player for the Chicago Sky, deserve attention equal to Clark. That may be true. But you can’t force people to pay attention to one or another player; you can’t control the audience reaction. I personally find Reese to be a great player and really entertaining, but I can’t tell all these little girls they’re wrong and racist because they like Caitlin Clark. But anyway, Clark was bullied into apologizing.
Here’s the PC version of Caitlin Clark’s response to the “racist” remarks made in her name, quoted in People magazine:
"Yeah, I think it's disappointing," Clark said. "I think everybody in our world deserves the same amount of respect. The women in our league deserve the same amount of respect. People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It's disappointing, it's not acceptable."
Effectively, the media has made Clark denounce her own supporters. Her first statement was much more logical:
"I don't put too much thought and time into thinking about things like that, and to be honest, I don't see a lot of it," Clark said. "Basketball is my job. Everything on the outside, I can't control that, so I'm not going to spend time thinking about that."
First Clark is bullied by fellow WNBA players, now she’s being bullied by the media. It’s lonely at the top.
