Jason Whitlock: “Caitlin Clark is being 'over-hated'. All of this conversation around Indiana Fever fans – it's just misguided, over-hatred of Caitlin Clark, and pointing a finger at ‘tHoSe gUyS! tHeY’Re tHe rAcIsTs!’... When really, YA’LL are the racists -- the people coming up with excuses to hate Caitlin Clark and the new fan base that she brought.
Nike won’t even put out a Caitlin Clark commercial or a Caitlin Clark shoe because Nike has decided that they must bow to the angry Black feminists, the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, the feminist movement overall, and the whole identity politics movement of ‘Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in sports, but in order to promote equity, fairness, diversity, and inclusion, you must spend all your money promoting A’ja Wilson.' -- Someone most people don’t know exists and don’t care about. You have to do that out of ‘racial equity’ and ‘racial justice.’ Don’t lean into Caitlin Clark, who could make you a bunch of money when your stock is tanking and you’ve have to fire your CEO. Lean into A’ja Wilson, a 6’5” person no one really knows or cares about. And it’s not our fault. Tim Duncan was a great basketball player – no one cared. He didn’t sell shoes. Allen Iverson did, Jordan did, Kobe did, LeBron did... Duncan wasn’t an exciting player. Caitlin Clark could sell shoes, but no, ‘hEr fAn bAsE Is hAtE! iT’S ThE WrOnG TyPe oF FaNs! ThEy tWeEt mEaN ThInGs tO AlYsSa tHoMaS!’... This stuff is a joke.
The WNBA has been ignored for 27 years and now it comes with not just an incremental increase of media attention and fan attention, but with a monumental increase of media attention and fan attention, and no one in the WNBA was prepared to handle this. They have bad leadership in Cathy Engelbert. They have bad leadership in Adam Silver. These are weak and ineffectual leaders that don’t know what they’re doing. They’ve been installed and they don’t have any real instincts. They’re not qualified for their jobs and they’ve allowed the Caitlin Clark abuse to go on and on. Everyone pretends ‘sTiCkS AnD FiNgErNaIlS MaY PuT OuT My eYe bUt wOrDs aRe WhAt rEaLlY KiLlS Me!’.... They focus on that rather than the REAL persecution and inappropriate behavior of their very own WNBA players. Those have been the real bigots. They hate Caitlin Clark. Occasionally I've tried to defend Sheryl Swoopes but at this point it’s just crystal clear. Angel Reese is a hater, and her whole media popularity and platform is built off the back of Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark is ‘Kunta Clark’. She's the actual slave that everybody else is exploiting for their benefit. Angel Reese is included at the top of that list, and now Alyssa Thomas is like ‘LET ME GET MY PIECE!’... Dijonai Carrington jumps in ‘LET ME GET MY PIECE!... Dijonai Carrington in Game 1 poked Caitlin Clark in the eye intentionally in my view and in most rational people’s view. Nothing even happens to Dijonai Carrington.
Marina Mabrey hits a dagger three that basically decides [Game 2] in the fourth quarter, and then does a ‘POKE ME IN MY EYE!’ celebration with Dijonai Carrington and they just laugh it off. Caitlin Clark got poked in the eye and injured, black eye, and you can still see the black eye. There was no foul call in Game 1 when it happened, and there was no investigation of whether this was a flagrant act and deserved any type of penalty. Totally ignored. The most important player and the person driving all of your engagement, everybody is making money off Caitlin Clark, and she gets gouged in the eye by a player who clearly hates her. We’ve seen her previous behavior [Dijonai Carrington], we’ve seen her tweets -- she clearly hates her, and the WNBA makes no statement. It’s an actual joke it happened, and something the players can joke, laugh about, and mock later. But oh, my God, let an Indiana Fever fan tweet anything to any player and the WNBA is gonna release a statement, and Alyssa Thomas and these other girls are going to hold press conferences ‘hAvE YoU SeEn tHeSe tWeEtS?!’... ‘sTiCkS AnD FiNgErNaIlS MaY PuT OuT My eYe bUt wOrDs aRe WhAt rEaLlY KiLlS Me!’... This league is insane."
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless mock the ongoing narrative of Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark unwittingly producing a new wave of ‘racist’ fans following women’s basketball, as Whitlock says it’s an agenda that is being fabricated by actual ‘racists’ in the WNBA who aren’t happy that the league’s main attraction is white.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock calls Clark 'Kunta Clark’, saying that Clark is the ‘actual slave that everybody else is exploiting for their benefit’, and that Angel Reese, Dijonai Carrington, Alyssa Thomas, and Sheryl Swoopes are ‘haters’ who try to shamelessly paint themselves as victims while also leeching off Clark's fame.
