Caitlin Clark Is Hated Because She’s White

There’s no other valid explanation

America is unfortunately watching the WNBA. The only reason why this ignored sport is getting more attention is because of Caitlin Clark. The Indiana Fever rookie captured the nation’s attention as the best college women’s basketball player ever at Iowa. Her success has made many of her fellow players envious. Clark has become a target for flagrant fouls and nasty comments ever since she joined the league.

Sports commentators claim it’s just a normal part of being a rookie. But that’s bullshit. Clark is targeted because she’s white and making more money than her peers. This drives the hate towards her. Woke sports journalists just don’t want to acknowledge the anti-white angle.

Black critics have long complained that white privilege explains Clark’s stardom. They’re not entirely wrong. Clark isn’t a cultural sensation because she’s a star player–it’s also because she’s a normal white girl excelling on the court. Women’s basketball has struggled to show off normal white women as their stars. Most of the best players have been thuggish black lesbians who lack any appeal to the American mainstream. Brittney Griner is one such example. The WNBA player became well-known after she was arrested in Russia for drug possession back in 2022. Griner can pass for a man and has excoriated America as a racist country.

Other typical players include Chennedy Carter–who assaulted Clark on the court last weekend–and her teammate Angel Reese. Carter is notorious for thuggish behavior and has been kicked off two WNBA teams. She bragged about her attack on Clark to the media (in AAVE, of course). Reese displayed an incredible level of humility in a recent interview on Clark. "The reason why we're watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to realize that,” the black athlete told reporters.

Ordinary Americans don’t want to tune in to watch these figures play ball. They want to cheer on someone who’s like them and represents their values. That person is Caitlin Clark. She looks and acts like the girl next door. She’s from the Midwest, is a devout Catholic, has no tattoos, doesn’t do drugs, and is a team player. She doesn’t claim she’s the reason people are watching the WNBA. Clark is very basic, and that’s what a lot of Americans want. She’s a wholesome role model for young girls. The same can’t be said of her competitors.

It’s an unbearable fact for her haters that she’s more popular than them. Chennedy Carter insists Clark sucks as a player. Commentators claim there are far superior athletes in the league. Yet, few among them receive the seven-figure endorsements like Clark. This inspires the resentment that leads to flagrant fouls on the court.

Only one sports commentator had the guts to speak the truth about Clark. ESPN host Pat McAfee didn’t hold back in rebutting sports journalists who try to dismiss Clark’s appeal.

“What we’re trying to say is, what the WNBA currently has is what we like to describe as a cash cow. There is a superstar,” McAfee said on his program. “But I would like the media people that continue to say, ‘This rookie class, this rookie class.’ Nah, just call it for what it is. There is one White b*tch for the Indiana team who is a superstar.”

“Is there a chance people just enjoy watching her play basketball because of how electrifying she is, what she did what she stood for, how she went about going what she went for?” McAfee continued. “Maybe. But instead we have to hear people say we only like her because she’s White, and she’s only popular because the rest of the rookie class is doing what they’re doing. Well, that’s a bunch of bulls**t and we think the WNBA — more specifically their refs — need to stop trying to screw her over at every single turn. What you have is somebody special and we’re lucky she’s here in Indiana.”

McAfee later apologized for referring to Clark as a “white bitch” in his praise of her, saying he was only trying to make a point in her favor. The WNBA star herself wasn’t bothered by the comment, but the media spun up an outrage cycle against the ESPN host anyway.

It wasn’t solely over him using the B-word. Sports media was also mad because McAfee accurately assessed what makes people want to watch the WNBA. McAfee is very popular because he speaks for the average sports fan. He doesn’t care about wokeness, he’s very bro-y, he doesn’t mind controversy, he isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and he’s white. He’s not political at all, which makes him right-coded in the extremely left-wing world of sports journalism. 

It’s clear the sports world doesn’t like non-woke white folks taking over the space.

Clark is accomplishing a progressive goal. For years, liberals have tried to get people to pay attention to women’s basketball. Most people instead stuck with regular basketball. Clark has finally made a feminist dream come true. People finally care about women’s basketball thanks to her. But Clark’s whiteness dampens the enthusiasm. Sports journalists and feminists wish it were a more diverse figure who made this happen. The racial moment we live in means white women stand below non-whites in the progressive hierarchy. That’s why sports journalists don’t rally around Clark. Instead, they sympathize with her black haters–because they’re higher up in the victim hierarchy.

The WNBA faces a quandary. It cannot allow its biggest star to continue to get the shit beaten out of her every night. Carter’s assault outraged fans, which is why the league upped the penalty against the black player. But players still want to knock down Clark. It’s not uncommon for players to get cheap shots on their competitors. It happens all the time in the pro leagues for men as well. 

What sets the attacks against Clark apart is how her teammates seem to be okay with it. Male teams never nonchalantly react to their guys getting beat up. The Detroit Pistons were notoriously brutal towards Michael Jordan back in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. But Jordan could rely on his fellow Chicago Bulls to retaliate against his assailants. Clark can’t expect that from her own teammates.

This speaks to how women can’t properly function as a group like men can. Men fundamentally understand that an attack on one of their teammates is an attack on all of them. It threatens their honor to allow an insult to go without response. Women are too catty to have the same response. (They’re also less inclined to physical violence than men are.) Their friendships are more like temporary alliances contracted by great powers. Minor infractions can permanently sever them. Clark’s teammates likely resent her success just as much as her opponents do. That’s why they let her get “hammered” (in Clark’s own words) without a response.

In my opinion, I think it’s bad that America now cares about women’s basketball. It’s a real sign that the masses are becoming libtarded if they seriously care about this sport. The WNBA is inherently feminist and progressive. It makes one pine for the radical tradition of the NBA. 

With all that in mind, Caitlin Clark is still a positive figure. Our country would be a lot better if more white women were like her. Her whiteness is why she’s a success–and attacked on the court. 

You don’t have to like the WNBA to be pro-Clark. Her poor treatment could make millions of normies see the anti-whiteness taking over our society. It may not be the ideal redpill, but it’s a redpill nonetheless.
