Caitlin Clark exposes male-dominated sports media as she takes WNBA to the ‘next level’

Hindustan Times  

Caitlin Clark is a rookie who uncorked into the WNBA, and the male-dominated sporting press is struggling to keep up with her. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark drives to the basket against New York Liberty forward Betnijah Laney-Hamilton during the first half of a WNBA basketball game, Saturday, May 18, 2024, in New York. After Chennedy Carter fouled Clark over the weekend, ESPN host Pat McAfee called Clark the “White b*tch for the Indiana team,” while arguing that she was solely responsible for the newfound popularity of the WNBA. “Y’all should be thanking that girl for getting y’all ass’ private charters, all the money and visibility she brings into the WNBA,” Barkley said on TNT’s ‘Inside the NBA.’ ‘WNBA experts now that Clark is in the league’ Journalist Victoria Uwumarogie addressed this issue and said that “the expectations Barkley has of men are vastly different from those he has for women, and that’s similar to many of the other men who are, all of a sudden, WNBA experts now that Clark is in the league.” Clark is now “going up against women who’ve been fighting for their just dues for years, including veterans and champions who were putting the league on the map before she stepped on the cour,” she wrote. “The prevailing sentiment for folks that are just joining the WNBA and following women’s sports is unfair to the women of this league … who have laid the groundwork for Caitlin Clark to come in and now take it to the next level.” However, host Stephen A. Smith retorted, “Who talks about the WNBA … who talks about women’s sports more than ‘First Take?’” McNutt responded, “Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform, you could have been doing this three years ago if you wanted to.”
