Sports media is finally starting to wake up to the racism surrounding Indiana Fever superstar Kaitlin Clark, and it's all wrong.

Clark's fellow WNBA players treated her like trash multiple times throughout her rookie season. And certainly, it has nothing to do with the fact that she is white, extremely popular, and an absolute force on the court. The former Iowa State star not only committed some ridiculous fouls this season, but was also called a “white bitch” by ESPN host Pat McAfee (who later apologized for the derogatory remark) . Jemele Hill also suggested that the only reason the world cares about NCAA all-time leading scorer Caitlin Clark is because she's straight and white.

Sports media pundits are now twisting the story to make it about all the racist fans who were calling the issue out in the first place, namely that Clark has been treated unfairly by both players and referees. I'm trying. At a press conference on Friday, reporters said: asked She talked about the “racism” that WNBA players experience online, rather than the overt racism she faced on the court in real life.

“It's definitely upsetting. No one in our league should face racism of any kind, including hurtful, disrespectful, hateful comments and threats. That's not a fan. It's a troll and it's a real disgrace to our league, our organization and the people of the WNBA,” Clark said. “But we have a lot of really good fans, whether they've been fans for over 20 years or fans who are new to our league. We have a lot of great players, so we look at this league in a very positive light.” I think the best thing we can do is keep it going. There are a lot of great teams. There are a lot of positive stories to write about and celebrate, and that's what made me a fan of this league.”

for @AroundtheHorn I appreciate Caitlin Clark's comments and that all privileged people have a moral obligation to speak up for those experiencing oppression, and that is, in fact, as CC navigates this season. I talked about how it would help me be more vocal and find a community with my fellow WNBA players. pic.twitter.com/sesKhj2L6x

Sports commentator David Dennis Jr. claimed Clark claimed to be a “privileged person” who had a “moral obligation to speak up for the oppressed.” He's now urging her to be “more vocal” about allegedly racist fans who follow the WNBA because she's white, which automatically gives her privilege. It turns out. Talk about a racist.

“The WNBA craze brought in people who weren't basketball fans or real fans of Caitlin Clark. They were fans of the black female humility that they thought she could represent,” FOX Sports podcast host Nick Wright said.

Clark's nemesis, Chicago Sky's Angel Reese proposed In her first podcast last week, she said Clark's fans are the real racists. “I think it's really just justice for the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, and now the Indiana fans. They're running for her, and I respectfully respect that. But , sometimes it can be very rude. I think there's a lot of racism around that,” she said.

The liberal sports media will not acknowledge the absurd harassment Clark received this past season, but the fans who pointed it out will no doubt be shamed.
