James Woods took to X to discuss the racism Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark has faced, noting that she has generated more interest in women’s basketball than any other player.
However, the racism directed at her has severely undermined the potential enthusiasm for the WNBA that she could have fostered. This outcome, while unfortunate, is not surprising.
Caitlin Clark brought more interest to women’s basketball than any player in history. The hatred spewed toward her, much of it nourished by the seeds of racism, have destroyed any interest in the WNBA that she would have inspired. Sad, but not unexpected. https://t.co/miG6flGsEt
