Caitlin Clark Was Speculated to Take ESPN Anchor’s ‘White Bitch’ Remark as a Praise, Clearly

On the one hand, it’s nice that the dudes on ESPN are lastly speaking about ladies’s sports activities. However, they’ve merely bought to discover a solution to speak about ladies’s sports activities in a approach that isn’t astonishingly gross. Sure, I’m speaking about Pat McAfee referring to Caitlin Clark as a “white bitch” in a rant that was supposedly supposed to help her.

“I would like the media people that continue to say, ‘This rookie class, this rookie class, this rookie class.’ Nah, just call it for what it is—there’s one white bitch for the Indiana team who is a superstar,” McAfee stated in his June 3 present. A press release that manages to be directly misogynistic towards Clark and racist towards the nonwhite members of the WNBA’s rookie class akin to Angel Reese. A real masterclass in mask-off white male chauvinism.

Following the inevitable, ruthless backlash, McAfee apologized for calling Clark a “white bitch” however stood behind his assertion that Clark is being discriminated towards as a result of she is white. “I shouldn’t have used ‘white bitch’ as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark,” he wrote on X. “No matter the context.. even if we’re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening.. I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe.” He added that he meant it as a praise, however “a lot of folks are saying” that it didn’t come throughout that approach. Nicely, positive, as a result of what skilled doesn’t love being complimented in sexist, derogatory phrases?
