Jason Whitlock: "What cannot be discussed is the level of racial animus that is being directed at Caitlin Clark. I have yet to see it discussed on ESPN. Like, ‘holy cow, these ‘hatin’-a** Shaniqua’s’, this is racism.’
Seattle Storm head coach, Noelle Quinn, got into a heated argument with Christie Sides, the head coach of the Indiana Fever at the end of the game. They got their doors blown off by Caitlin Clark and the Fever, and at the end of it, Noelle Quinn starts yelling, screaming, and preaching at Christie Sides. At the end of the game the Fever are up big, there’s a timeout, Caitlin Clark is down at the end of the court where the Seattle Storm bench is and she’s clapping and motioning to the crowd to keep pumping up the noise. Skylar Diggins intentionally bumps into Caitlin Clark and carries her into the Storm huddle and sideline area. You can see at the very end of the clip, Noelle Quinn gets triggered. She gets triggered because she thinks Clark is showing up the Seattle Storm team, but if she had not been bumped into by Skylar Diggins, she would have been nowhere near the Storm bench
To me, it’s just another example of these Black women – they got this animosity. It’s not all of them but it’s enough of them that seem to be so bothered by the success of Caitlin Clark that they lose their composure, they lose their self-control, they just get triggered by her success, and it’s like no one is talking about it.
But there is this angry group -- Noelle Quinn; Jewell Lloyd won’t talk about her. Even Skylar Diggins, who I like, took that little shove at her. They’re just enraged, jealous, and petty, and – I'm just sorry – it's racist and it’s bigoted. If this were happening to a Black player by a bunch of White players, this would be leading Sportscenter every night and every ESPN talk show. People called me crazy when I said ‘she won’t be facing death threats like Jackie Robinson, but this might be more difficult than Jackie Robinson.’”
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV's Fearless explain why he thinks Indiana Fever rookie star Caitlin Clark is facing the same 'bigotry' and 'racism' that MLB Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson faced in 1947 when he was breaking the color barrier for the Brooklyn Dodgers, with Whitlock saying there's a group of Black players in the WNBA who constantly get 'triggered' whenever Clark is enjoying any form of success or positive coverage.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock says Clark's historic rookie season is being shrouded by a cloud of racial animus towards Clark that the mainstream media refuses to spotlight.
