After often remaining silent about her name being used in cultural disputes, Caitlin Clark has spoken up.

The WNBA phenom was named Time's Athlete of the Year after putting women's basketball and women's sports on the map.

After she entered the league, there were several comments made about her being White.

WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson said Clark being White was a "huge thing" when it came to Clark's popularity. Angel Reese even said there had been "a lot of racism" from Iowa and Indiana Fever fans. Connecticut Sun player DiJonai Carrington, who poked Clark in the eye during a Connecticut playoff win over the Fever, previously criticized Clark for not doing more to call out racism.

In her discussion with Time, Clark seemed to agree with Wilson to an extent.

"I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a White person, there is privilege," Clark told Time. "A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them.

Poor Caitlin is like the 2 white women on OJ’s jury who thought The Juice was guilty but acquitted anyway in a vain attempt to earn the approval of their black-girl colleagues. Stockholm Syndrome variant, I think.

she’s literally one White person in a field dominated by black folk. I can understand that she can’t really speak her mind.

White savior complex. It’s pathogenic.

Thankfully I'm immune.

‘ she’s literally one White person in a field dominated by black folk. I can understand that she can’t really speak her mind.’

So saying the league was built on lack players was correct?

Well, that’s a good point.

Merely existing and participating has damn near gotten her killed.

I knew if she spent enough time around the WNBA Race Hustlers and Grifters 90% of the players that they would start to indoctrinate her.
Doesn’t she remember working her butt off since childhood to become a Great Player ?

“says WNBA was ‘built on’ Black players”

She is right - the WNBA would not exist except for black players, black NBA players, who indirectly fund them (along with the handful of White NBA players).

The logic of all Harris white female voters. They somehow feel they owe to people of color even if their ancestors might have died in fights to free the slaves.
And the ancestors of people of color were slave owners.

But you go ahead and show some weakness. They are going to clobber you next season.

Instant dislike, and happiness that I do not follow any sports involving hitting kicking, or throwing a ball.
