from Moonbattery:
As if in exchange for the being named Time’s Athlete of the Year, Caitlin Clark embarrassingly prostrated herself before the woke mob by endorsing the CRT concept of “white privilege.” For validating their hostility toward her, she reaped the predictable reward from race thugs — a kick in the teeth:
Washington Mystics owner Sheila Johnson spoke out against Time magazine for naming Caitlin Clark “Athlete of the Year” in an interview with CNN Sport on Friday, suggesting that the publication should have given the award to the entire WNBA.

Unlike Clark, Johnson is racially correct. She cofounded BET.
Johnson even suggested the decision to give Clark the honor would incite feelings of “racism” within the league.
How the belligerently racist WNBA could possibly hate whites any more than it already does is unclear.
Lies Johnson,
“I’ve seen so many players of color that are equally as talented, and they never got the recognition they should have.”
Which players are “equally as talented” is left unspecified. Suffice it to say that if a Caucasian has her accomplishments honored, it must be white privilege.
Johnson has directly benefited from the Caitlin Clark Effect:
The Mystics’ season finale against Clark’s Indiana Fever was moved from the Mystics’ home venue, the Entertainment and Sports Arena with just 4,200 seats, to the Wizards’ venue, the Capital One Arena, which has a maximum capacity of 20,356 for basketball games. As a result, the Sept. 19 game between the Fever and Mystics was the most-attended WNBA regular season game in history, with 20,711 fans in attendance.
But there will be no gratitude for someone who has committed white privilege by succeeding while Caucasian.
Moonbats have another reason to hate Caitlin Clark:
Journalist Jemele Hill insisted it was “naive” to say that Clark’s race as a White person, and sexuality as a straight woman, did not play into her popularity in the WNBA, where the vast majority of players are Black and many are lesbian, during an interview with the Los Angeles Times in May. Hill also insisted that Clark’s popularity with those attributes is “problematic.”
Liberals love diversity — but not so much that they can tolerate successful whites and non-lesbians in the WNBA.
