NBA star Caitlin Clark was just named Time Magazine’s ‘Athlete of the Year’ and in the article she confessed her white privilege and said the WNBA was built on place players who deserve more recognition.
Here’s more via Deadline:
Caitlin Clark finished her first season as a professional basketball player in the WNBA and was recently named Time’s Athlete of the Year.The Indiana Fever star set rookie season records, including a WNBA league record for assists in a single season.
With the added attention Clark has been receiving, in her interview with Time, she reflected on the league’s history and acknowledged her privilege.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” Clark told Time. “A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them.”
She continued, “The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it’s very important. I have to continue to try to change that. The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing.”
She’s apparently been beaten down by jealous WNBA players who have been attacking her since she got into the league. I guess this is her way of trying to make them proud of her or something. It’s stupid. I was never a big fan of hers and I certainly don’t care for the WNBA. But I really hate this kind of weakness and I expect she’ll lose some fans because of this.
