Stephen A. Smith admitted to what only OutKick has written for the past four months: women in the WNBA are jealous of Caitlin Clark and race is a contributing factor.
"There are girls – young ladies – in the WNBA who are jealous of Caitlin Clark. She is a White girl that has come into the league," Smith said while discussing Chennedy Carter shoving Clark to the floor on Saturday.
"She has bursted onto the scene. She hasn’t proven herself yet. It’s not even about them thinking they’re better than her because they probably know it at this particular juncture because they’ve been playing on a level she just arrived to.
"One would think that folks would be smart enough to recognize and appreciate that about Caitlin Clark – piggyback off of that to their benefit and praise her and support her for it while competing on the court against her."
He's right – about all of that.
We hope he doesn't backtrack. Smith is known to make a good point, upset Black Twitter, and then cave.
Last month, he apologized to the "black community" for citing polls that suggest black Americans relate to Donald Trump's feeling that the system is persecuting him.

Stephen A., like Maher, every once in awhile says something that makes sense.
She’s good for the league if she can stay, but many people will stop watching if she ends up quitting.
I think he’s a closet conservative.
BLACKS ARE THE RACISTS!!! Well, DUH....who didn’t know that?
They aren’t jealous of her ‘race’. They’re jealous of her performance and her dignity.
They are YOUNG LADIES?? Get real....they are THUGS!
I still love his anti-Dallas Cowboys schtick.
I’ve only mentioned that half a dozen times I must be a sporting genius too
I thought female-dominated workplaces would be free of the characteristic traits of “toxic masculinity.”
I thought jealousy and competitive pressure would be banished.
I thought women would “lift each other up,” support each other, and work in harmony toward a shared goal, while each respecting the others’ individuality and personal dignity.
Are they riding in the back of garbage trucks?
Makes me wonder if he'll vote for Trump this time.
I always suspected Juan Williams is too. His sons are conservatives.
That hit on Clark was a blind side. A chickenstuff hit from the back like that would get you thrown out of a football game. The WNBA had best get on top of that krap soonest or they can kiss their new, big, crowds bye. They owe Clark big time for helping put them on the map.
They call it the "Jordan rule" for a reason.
But he likes his job very much and will backtrack when the heat is on. He wouldn’t be the most reliable guy in a foxhole.
I swear I saw the aggressor actually grin after she did it.
This is true.
some black players are trying to kill the golden goose.
