Stephen A. Smith isn't dismissing a Wall Street Journal op-ed making the controversial argument that the federal government should investigate the WNBA for its treatment of Caitlin Clark.
The opinion piece - written by Sean McLean, a former staffer in the first Trump White House and in two congressional GOP offices - argues that Clark is the victim of a hostile work environment.
McLean - who stunningly compared Clark to Michael Jordan - argues that Clark's treatment, and what he perceives to be a lack of response from the WNBA, should be investigated and questioned by Congress and the Labor Department.
The piece was divisive - with McLean receiving plenty of backlash on social media WNBA analysts, commentators, and fans; not only for the content of his piece, but also for his 'misleading' use of a quote from Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson.
Wilson made a comment to the Associated Press last year in the context of Clark's boosted popularity in the league, where she said Clark's race was a 'huge thing' and that, 'I think a lot of people may say it's not about Black and white, but to me it is... it boils my blood when people say it's not about race, because it is'. Despite this being the context of her words, McLean used that quote to claim Wilson believes Clark is being targeted because she is white.
In spite of the fervor the piece stirred up, Smith believes there may be support for an investigation into this matter.
'I'm not here saying the case will be won by the government if it gets to the points. I'm saying they have a case, they have an argument,' Smith said of the idea during an episode of his self-titled podcast on Tuesday.

You think this injury is going to end her career?
Trump doesn’t need to get involved with the WNBA.
Injury? No.
But she's being targeted. So she may call it quits.
Get with the program, man. Not a sparrow shall fall without DJT getting involved.
Provided said sparrow has a big social media presence and said fall is trending.
It’s all about dominating the next news cycle, except Trump thinks of the news cycle in terms of the next 90 seconds of a twitter feed.
This is not progress.
$$$$$
But everyone will eventually figure out that the WNBA is scamming them.
Can't do that especially now that fans are finally starting to pay attention lol
It would also mean giving up a lot of money. She may only get $76M/year for playing in the WNBA, but she might as well play for free. All her endorsements are predicated on her playing.
Not the least, she has a desire to play basketball, so she strongly wants to play.
If it were a mostly white league and a black person was done this way, the Ambulance Chasers would be chartering busses to the games, to prepare their lawsuits.
She'll retire after her contract expires. Or if she decides that She'll want to play beyond the current contract, She'll have to adjust her game so She'll be "average". Then they'll stop targeting her.
Larry Bird could jump!
Yes I know, but there was a movie named “White men can’t jump” :)
NEW: Stephen A. Smith says exactly what WNBA players needed to hear about Caitlin Clark.
“They didn’t have chartered jets until she arrived. She arrived, they had chartered jets two weeks later, literally.”

The black girls are mad that a white girl is the star and they are trying to injure her. That is what is going on.
President Trump: DON’T commit more unconstitutional federal gov’t overreach.
********
Name me one instance of unconstitutional overreach committed by President Trump. And protecting someone’s Constitutional rights is within Presidential power especially if the basketball idiots won’t do it.
