USA Today Writer Says Caitlin Clark Puts Black and Queer WNBA Players 'in Danger' by Flopping
Fox News ^ | July 23, 2026 | Dan Zaksheske

Nancy Armour's column argues Clark's reactions to officiating fuel racist harassment of opponents

USA Today columnist Nancy Armour wants Caitlin Clark to stop flopping and berating WNBA officials. Plenty of people agree with that take, including OutKick's Dan Dakich.

Others would argue that Clark’s frustration is understandable, given the physical treatment she has received and the WNBA’s inconsistent officiating. Either way, Armour is well within her rights to criticize Clark’s behavior on the court.

Armour argues that Clark’s reactions to missed calls put "Black" and "queer" WNBA players "in danger," essentially blaming Clark for alleged racist messages sent by people she doesn’t know and has publicly condemned. No, this is not satire. The column begins by declaring that Clark and her "enablers must take the rest of us for idiots." Armour points to two recent plays, one involving Chelsea Gray and another involving Kiah Stokes, as proof that Clark exaggerates contact and creates false narratives about opposing players.

Just in case I am not up to date on some lingo, what does “flopping” mean in this situation?

Per AI...

“Flopping in basketball is the act of intentionally exaggerating or faking contact with an opponent to deceive a referee into calling a personal foul. Players use it to gain a competitive advantage—such as drawing free throws or getting opposing players into foul trouble.”

“”””I don’t watch any sports ball anymore.””

I watch the high school basketball and hockey tournaments in March. Never professional sportsball.

99% of the WNBA players are super queer men who are pretending to be women so they can play b-ball because they weren’t good enough to play in the NBA or Europe. The last 1% is Caitlan and the other white chick on the Fever.

In a just world the WNBA would not exist. It has always lost tons of money. The play is pretty bad and violent, and they are not good roll models for anyone let alone young girls. Plus the stank - there is lots of stank all around those tranny dudes.

So... What Dan is saying is that there are black WNBA players who aren’t queer? Hmm... That’s a revelation.

Insane white liberal women (redundant) are the worst people in the world.
