Jason Whitlock tears into Monica McNutt's claim about Caitlin Clark and her 'white' fame

Caitlin Clark has made waves in both women’s college basketball as well as the WNBA. Her play has helped her fame reach astronomical heights to the extent that she has become a household name. Her legions of fans span all age groups, and they all want to flock to catch a glimpse of her.

One of those age groups she impacts the most are young girls. They look up to her and many have started attending basketball camps to try and emulate the Indiana Fever superstar. They also crowd at Fever games to get an autograph.

But ESPN’s Monica McNutt believes Clark being a white athlete from middle America made her a magnet for fans from that part of the country. The analyst believes that has helped the Fever star garner this much fame. Hearing this, Jason Whitlock went all out on this rhetoric.

There’s an element of truth that Caitlin Clark and all the little suburban white girls that have hopped on board with the WNBA have hopped on board because Caitlin Clark, she resonates with them more so than the, and I’m just generalizing here, than the angry black lesbians who dominate the WNBA.

Jason Whitlock said

The 57-year-old analyst added that Monica McNutt was playing the race card again. He believes liberal black women claim Clark has garnered this much fame because she is white. But he believes middle suburban fans are not just looking at the color of Caitlin Clark’s skin.

Jason Whitlock believes Caitlin Clark is relatable

There have been other stellar white basketball players in the WNBA. But none of them have enjoyed the fan following the way Caitlin Clark does. Jason Whitlock believes fans relate to the Indiana Fever superstar more than any other player.

She reflects values that are relatable to kids who come from two-parent homes, that’s regardless of color. Perhaps Caitlin Clark is relatable and popular, and people want to see her play because she is exciting as heck to watch, and she is not filled with anger.

Jason Whitlock said

By saying this, Jason Whitlock was trying to emphasize how children growing up in two-parent households in the middle of America want to watch Caitlin Clark. They are not interested in the angry black women who are constantly victimizing themselves to earn fame.

Instead, the WNBA Rookie of the Year star just goes about her business playing exciting basketball. That is all fans, especially young girls look up to. Whitlock believes those young girls do not find angry black l**bians interesting enough to follow the WNBA.

Caitlin Clark’s improved play leading to all-time high ticket sales

Caitlin Clark’s game comprising of her surreal passing along with her logo threes have captured the imagination of fans. They are watching a part of the game that they can relate to, hence more and more fans want to see her play.

This has led to an unprecedented increase in ticket sales. It has been unprecedented because of two primary reasons. Firstly, many thought the attendance and viewership numbers garnered in her rookie were the most the WNBA could hope to repeat.

Secondly, after she apparently bowed down to the woke culture, many including Jason Whitlock felt she would lose a lot of fans, especially from suburban middle America. Instead, the sales have been anything but slow.

Indiana Fever games will dominate 93% of nationally televised games. Six teams have had to shift their games against the Fever to larger arenas, and ticket prices are growing every day her second WNBA season draws closer.
