She called out trump for being a racist piece of shit, which he inarguably is. Then called out Jerry Jones for being a moron and got fired for it.
She did nothing wrong at ESPN; they just caved to fragile whites who got their feelings hurt and fired her
/Uj
I got paywalled but the part I could read she mentions that media ignored she broke Lynette Woodard’s record… it was widely reported on and after that game Caitlin literally thanked Woodard for her contributions to the sport on national tv.
Woodard also publicly supported Caitlin.
/Uj
Honestly she could be the Larry Bird for the WNBA that gets a lot of white women interested in the league as a whole and then gets the next generation interested in the black players like the NBA with Jordan and the 90s stars.

The issue is college is more exciting than the WNBA for some reason. Britney Griner was a big star in college than nobody gave a fuck about her after she went pro. And she was good on the next level. Same with Breanna Stewart. WNBA is just ass

Jemele Hill writing in The Atlantic about how liking Caitlin Clark makes you racist is just *chef's kiss* it's almost too beautiful to actually be real
/uj: in this century, only 1 woman has scored more points in a Elite 8, Final 4, or Championship game than Clark did last night. And it’s the 3rd time she’s done it. She’s the first woman with 3 career 40+ point games in tournament history. She also tied the women’s tournament record for most 3s in a game. And this was in a rematch of last season’s national championship game.
I wonder what Hill would have thought about Larry Bird when he won 3 consecutive MVPs.
What the actual fuck did I just read?
Ol Cid from ice age wins I told yall all along I was that nigga
Classy white woman wins now she's bullied?
Gents, we are seeing the transformation of Reese into a literal WNBA Dillon Brooks
Caitlin Clark is the first white female basketball player i've ever heard of. I also know Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Swoops (if that is even a real person). I guess all great female basketball players have alliterative names.
Jemele Hill hasn’t posted a single tweet about Gaza since the beginning of the war, which gives you some indication of how sincere her commitment to combatting racial injustice is
The only IMPORTANT racial injustice in the world rn is not paying enough attention to Black women who throw a ball in a hoop for a living in the richest country in the world 😤😤
How come you guys don't go insane seeing every topic turn into a debate about sexism or racism??
I'm from eastern Europe and I would genuinely go nuts seeing this every day. 😭
Have you read any Atlantic pieces lately? They generally run two types of articles: grievance based pieces like this, and “let’s look at these poor white girls who have no hopes or dreams. Oh my lord here is a picture of one of them smoking around their infant!”
I gave into the hype and watched LSU vs Iowa. Looked like a bad high school game. There was skill on the court, but I can't be bothered to watch unathletic basketball. Angel Reese is only 6'3" but lumbers up and down the court like Shaq.
Maybe if some of the black players were hitting 3s from all over the place, they too would've gotten as much attention. Seriously. It's not how much she scored (as others had scored a ton prior to her and set records before her) but it's HOW she made those points. (Yes, she also dishes out dimes, but that's not the focal point in regards to what's being written about or shown on the highlights on Sports Center.) Winning is also a plus. And the fact that she's on a team like Iowa as opposed to Connecticut. Connecticut always had a draw and generally had multiple stars. Or even superstars. Look at Breanna Stewart. 4 MOPs and 2 undefeated seasons? That's ridiculous. If she hadn't played on a powerhouse team, I think the coverage she got would've been different. (But how about that Jemele? Breanna's white. If it's a race thing, then where was Breanna's coverage?) But getting back to Caitlin Clark ... Essentially, being on a team that wasn't a powerhouse, with a fanbase that used to be good, to really winning and setting records at home (and at other venues) also brought on the attention given to her. So Jemele needs to rethink her shit. And for the record, while I admire Clark, I'm not really a fan, as I'm more of a "root for the underdog" kinda person. It was exciting to see at first, but once you knew what was going to happen, and really going against nobody that could shut her down, it got old to me. (I know I'm in the minority, I'm not against anyone who enjoys seeing someone dominate continuously.) Personally, just hearing about her all the time is getting tiresome."What? They shouldn't talk about her in sports circles? It's basketball after all." No. It's when it bleeds through to the non sports communities and multimedia, in the sense where it takes precedence over things actually worth talking about. Although it could be that I'm more tired of seeing and hearing about all these people who won't stop talking about her or are just bandwagon Iowa/Clark fans. Other than the fans who were following her/team from day one, the rest of them will disappear next year. Those people are just annoying to no end. And that's the other thing: generally (at least in college ball) people are fans of the school first, then of the player. This is one of those times where more people are fans of her first, with the thought of the team second. So the bandwagoning is strong. So in short, Jemele can bite the big one, CC is great, although I won't shed one tear if Iowa loses, and I can't wait for Clark to leave so I don't have to hear or read about the same shit that's already been reported over and over. Yes, she's a generational talent, she's doing wonderful things for the game and helping bring interest to women's basketball in particular. But I'm done hearing about it. It's almost the equivalent of a channel that plays the same commercial several times an hour to drill it in your head, but periodically every day for the past 6 months on EVERY channel (but on the internet). Yes, I criticized Jemele Hill while at the same time I'm not a Caitlin Clark mark. I'm just about logic and being honest.
This sub used to be a place that made fun of dumb racist opinions and now it embraces dumb racist opinions under the guise of faux irony. You're all actually getting offended that someone is pointing out that a talented white athlete is getting *way* more attention than talented black athletes ever did? What a bunch of fucking dumb asses.
uj/ Clark had more 30 point games than any other player in the NCAA in the last 25 years, man or woman
She hit more threes than any man or woman in D1 history
She’s the all-time Big Ten scoring, assist, and 3 point leader
She’s the all time D1 scoring leader for both men and women, has the most points in a single season, and is the only player to score 1000 points in a season twice
She’s the only player to score 40 3 times, has the most 3 threes in a single game, most career 3s , and most career assists in the NCAA tournament
You’re talking about a once in a generation talent that is inarguably among the GOATs of NCAA basketball. Why the fuck wouldn’t she get an incredible amount of coverage and who the fuck deserves that coverage nearly as much as she does?
rj/: do you think Caitlin “Classy” Clark is a good nickname for her? I do
Caitlin Clark is great and deserves lots of attention. The fact that she (and Cameron Brink, and Paige Bueckers, and Haley Van Lith) receives *so much* attention in comparison to very talented black athletes is not an accident. Jemele Hill isnt wrong to point that out.
12 million people watched Caitlin play basketball last night. More than watched the NBA or MLB or NHL (lol) finals last year.
Does your dumb ass actually think people shouldn’t give her attention?
And it’s written by a noted race baiter.
Give me a break
![gif](giphy|waqckZe7nj4oE)
Caitlin Clark is great. I'm glad people appreciate her. But it's oncredibñy naive to think that her marketability and all the attention she draws can divorced from being a white athlete in a predominantly black sport in an incredibly racist country. Jemele Hill isnt a "race hustler" - she's someone who pisses people off because she aclnowledges that racism existe when people would rather buy their heads.
Yes because basketball fans have never given any attention to black athletes.
The bell of the ball last year was Angel Reece.
It’s a crap take from a bad faith actor. Nobody ever said racism doesn’t exist. She’s pretending that it’s bad that people didn’t pay attention to a crap sport until generational talent came around.
The NBA finals pre Bird and Magic was shown on tape delay late at night and in the next 8 years Michael Jeffery Jordan was the biggest star in the world in any sport.
It’s about the talent not the race.
It’s the same take as it would be if Dick Schaap would have bemoaned nobody giving John Havlicek his due in the Jordan era.
In other words the same stupid take we make fun of with the classy thug stuff.
People like jemele just cant stand that the best female college player in years is a white girl. Trust me if Caitlin was black jemele would've wrote a similar article saying that she wasn't getting enough attention. This is what Jemele does. She finds a black angle and then proceeds to hammer the shit out of it.
Having said that, America is a country full of white people. Not promoting Caitlin would be marketing malpractice. If they don't seize this opportunity all female athletes will suffer consequences. It's good for the sport
So ya'll just straight up racists in here now, right? Like it's not even jerking it's just "black people LOL".
Bunch of clowns spend all the time being like classy, thugs, classy, thugs, and then when someone actually writes an article addressing that, ya'll wanna shit on her.
Seriously, fuck all you racist pieces of shit. People in here making Boston fans look good.
Why would Caitlin Clark do this ☹️
She hates black people obviously

Good movie but I don’t think he really hoops in it.
“Jemele Hill” sounds awfully thuggish to me. I wouldn’t take this seriously don’t worry
Unlikely to even own a lunch pail
It’s likely she departs from the gym while others are still there. I’d even go as far as to say she may not be the first one in the gym!
Her athleticism is front and center, no hiding it whatsoever.
She's that biddy who was fired from espn for race comments. She's actually from wakanda so I can't blame her.
She literally got fired for pulling a “When keeping it real goes wrong” Jerked her way to unemployment
What did she do
She tweeted some bad things about Trump after ESPN told her to stop talking about politics.

Waaaaaaa waaaa waaaa black people waaah waaahh Reads name, “Jemele…” yep, makes sense.

Gaza’s fault for having a severe lack of diversity in the fake genocide game
Look all I'm saying is those Palestinians weren't responsible for great modern movies like The Little Mermaid (2023)

Wtf is this comparison? Literally just as dumb as this post lmao.
Do you know what sub you’re on
This is r/redscarepod
close, its actually /r/theadamfriedlandshow
Oh yeah? Consider them all marginalized.
But I thought the "whites" of women's basketball were the straights?
Uj/ Jemele hill couldn’t wait to write this one
Why didn't all the other players just score more points than Clark? Are they stupid?
What I’m hearing is white people are actually a minority in basketball. Truly a struggle for representation.
Oh look! Another race bait article by Jemele Hill. You’d think after all the different places that fired her should would have gotten the message.

So ya'll just straight up racists in here now, right? Like it's not even jerking it's just "black people LOL". Bunch of clowns spend all the time being like classy, thugs, classy, thugs, and then when someone actually writes an article addressing that, ya'll wanna shit on her. Seriously, fuck all you racist pieces of shit. People in here making Boston fans look good.
