Megyn Kelly shook her head in disgust at what Caitlin Clark just said

Caitlin Clark was one of the biggest sports stories in a generation.

Clark was also a magnet for controversy.

And Megyn Kelly shook her head in disgust at what Caitlin Clark just said.

Caitlin Clark bends a knee 

Time Magazine named Caitlin Clark its athlete of the year.

Clark was a phenom setting ratings records, as her bombs away three point shooting led to the Iowa Hawkeyes appearance in the 2024 NCAA Women’s Tournament Final, drawing the biggest TV audience for a basketball game – and this includes the NBA Finals – since 2019.

The Indiana Fever picked Clark number one in the draft, and she picked up right where she left off.

Clark led the Fever to the playoffs and won Rookie of the Year securing 66 of 67 first place votes.

But Clark also faced racist backlash all season as the WNBA’s black players resented the attention Clark drew.

Clark suffered numerous cheap shots and verbal abuse from WNBA players.

No player was fouled more in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark.

And after Time Magazine honored Clark, Clark released a statement apologizing for her white privilege and claiming the league needed to do more for black women.

“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege,” Clark wrote.

 “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,” Clark added.

“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,” Clark concluded.

Megyn Kelly was disgusted by Clark capitulating to try and win the love and admiration of people who are determined to hate her, largely because of her race.

“Look at this. She’s on the knee all but apologizing for being white and getting attention. The self-flagellation. The ‘oh please pay attention to the black players who are REALLY the ones you want to celebrate.’ Condescending. Fake. Transparent. Sad,” Kelly wrote.

By going woke, Clark is getting the worst of all worlds.

When the woke mob senses weakness, they never accept an apology and move on.

Rather, the mob doubles down on the target, knowing they can be bullied.

And by trying to appease the woke mob, Clark risks losing the goodwill of her other fans who can’t stand phony virtue signaling.

Clark also has nothing to apologize for.

She is the straw that stirs the drink.

Ratings and attendance for Clark’s games dwarfed that of the rest of the WNBA.

If Clark got more attention from the media and fans, there was a good reason – Clark was who fans paid to see.

Largely because of Clark’s presence, the WNBA signed a new television deal that tripled the league’s $60 million a year rights fees payment.

Caitlin Clark doesn’t have privilege.

Clark is the beneficiary of talent, hard work and charisma that made her the biggest draw in the history of women’s sports.
