Caitlin Clark called it “disappointing” to see her name being weaponized for racism and misogyny in a rebuke of some of the discourse since she started her WNBA career earlier this year.
Since arriving in the WNBA, Clark’s treatment has become the subject of non-stop think pieces and a topic among debate shows across the political and sports spectrums, with some commentators such as Jason Whitlock claiming Clark is being targeted by opposing players because of her race and sexuality.
But the Fever rookie said she’s being used to further racist and misogynistic agendas by some who have used perceived slights against the WNBA superstar to push those ideals.
“I think it’s disappointing,” Clark said before Thursday’s game between the Fever and Dream. “Everybody in our world deserves the same amount of respect. The women in our league deserve the same amount of respect. People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It’s disappointing. It’s not acceptable. This league is the league I grew up admiring and wanting to be a part of.
“Some of the women in this league were some of my biggest idols and role models growing up, and helped me want to achieve this moment right here that I get to play in ever single night. Just treating every single woman in this league with the same amount of respect is just a basic human thing that everyone should do. Just be a kind person and treat them how you would want to be treated.”
