Caitlin Clark is being used by 'so-called patriots' as 'avatar to lash out' at black women [View all]
Amid the debate about whether or not Caitlin Clark was snubbed for the USA Basketball Olympic Team, there's been an undercurrent of negative language toward those who have made the roster.......
'The problem here is, and what concerns me going forward, is those people on the fringe that do exist that are in real life - not just Internet trolls; politicians, pundits, and people of the like - who are using Caitlin Clark as an avatar to lash out at the people who they have disdain for: mainly the makeup of the WNBA, Black women et al.
And they are using her to go against Team USA. What is going to happen in Team USA, that is going to be the big tragedy here is the way that they are treated by those people come the summer.
'We're supposed to support America and American teams in the Olympics. I want to see that for this team, even if Caitlin Clark is not on that squad.'
It's not like Clark was left off the roster without merit - many believe that she is simply not good enough right now to make the cut.
