Jason Whitlock took to X to address the systematic discrimination against the Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, expressing that Nike is deliberately undermining her success in favor of promoting the “Yaas Queens” of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and A’ja Wilson.
He pointed out that despite Clark being one of the biggest stars in sports, Nike has not offered her a signature shoe or a major commercial deal. Whitlock further linked Nike’s declining stock performance to the company’s refusal to capitalize on Clark’s growing popularity.
