Jemele Hill has serious problems with Caitlin Clark, but it’s not because of what she did or said
It’s because the media reports about her.
Caitlin Clark, the Iowa Hawkeyes superstar, is the biggest name in women’s college basketball for several years
last year and haven’t even achieved that achievement yet. She is known as Stephen Curry
female and attracts all eyes just like him.
Not only did fans flock to see her, but the media coverage of her went crazy, too
is a problem for Jemele Hill.
The former ESPN host argued that the media reports on the
White players like Caitlin -Clark are much different than black players.
“Everything about this sport has been trending for years now. It’s not just
let’s start with Caitlin Clark,” Hill said in an interview with Uproxx.
“A study I cited recently for an article in The Atlantic [found
that] when you compare the [coverage] of someone like (Paige) Bueckers, Sabrina
Ionescu, or -Caitlin Clark to A’ja Wilson, who dominated basketball at every level
Present. She is probably the best player in the world. And I’m not trying to act like she doesn’t
coverage, but the level of coverage that non-white women sometimes receive, or especially
especially black women. , not even close,” Hill added.
Hill added that A’ja Wilson, arguably the best player in the world, deserved to be included
believe more than what Caitlin Clark is getting right now.
“I mean, Aliyah Boston was the best player in college just a few years ago. And
she didn’t even get a tenth of the media coverage that Caitlin Clark did. Currently,
some people would say, ‘Oh, that’s her game.’ But I don’t think that’s it. she
was amazing on television and I was thinking, What a missed opportunity for
national media to really elevate her as a person. Caitlin Clark apparently
material. They just covered up her brilliance, that’s enough. Meanwhile it feels
like for black athletes to receive similar coverage or even fair coverage,
There has to be something extra [besides basketball].”
-Clark is having a great run with No. 1 seeded Iowa in his senior year. People
superstar defenseman broke several NCAA records as she sought to add to her National Championship
added to his resume before leaving the WNBA later that year.
Despite what Jemele Hill might think, Clark won’t just be engraved on the calendar
college basketball history because of her incredible scoring achievements but also because of her overall impact
for women’s sport.

Caitlin Clark is a college rankings and attendance favorite, and she has
can bring excitement around him to the WNBA and that’s a good thing for everyone.
She can not only attract home fans but also attract other fans above
road. WNA is on an upward trend and Clark will only help it reach even greater heights
her presence.
Everyone should support her considering herself the WNBA version of Stephen Curry.
