A rookie basketball player coming into the league with immense popularity only to be tested and put through the wringer by their opponents is not a new concept. But when that rookie basketball player is white and most of their opponents are Black, it invites discussions about race.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Monday night, Sean Hannity\u00a0weighed in on the discourse around Clark, inviting OutKick\u2019s Clay Travis and Tomi Lahren onto his Fox News show to offer their perspective.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Clay Travis claims Caitlin Clark is a victim of discrimination against &#8220;white heterosexual women in a black lesbian league&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vvwexzPCV3\">pic.twitter.com\/vvwexzPCV3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1797839011785867655?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 4, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just race though, it\u2019s also sexuality,\u201d Travis claimed. \u201cCaitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Black lesbian league and they resent and are jealous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got. And instead of recognizing the truth, which is great athletes who people care about coming into your league really do get everybody more money\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me ask you this,\u201d Hannity responded. \u201cWhy do you say lesbian league? I mean, I don\u2019t know anything about the sexuality of any of the girls in the WNBA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c70% lesbian,\u201d Travis stated. \u201cAnd I think her having a boyfriend, I think it\u2019s a fianc\u00e9, who by the way said there needs to be an enforcer, creates two different identity politics universes that she doesn\u2019t fit in in this league. They don\u2019t like her cause she\u2019s white and they don\u2019t like her cause she\u2019s straight. And as a result, the league is coming undone around her even though she\u2019s bringing in new fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The league is not coming undone as it reaches new heights of popularity. Much of the national media is coming undone as it learns to cover the WNBA on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>Hannity\u2019s question was fair. We don\u2019t know about the sexuality of every WNBA player, nor should we. Travis, however, offered the \u201c70%\u201d statistic as if it was a commonly known fact. In 2017, former WNBA player Candice Wiggins claimed 98% of the league was gay, a number that was quickly disputed. In 2022, a study found 38% of WNBA players were lesbian.<\/p>\n<p>We do know Clark has a boyfriend, who as Travis noted, recently called on the Fever to add an enforcer to their roster following the dirty foul by Chennedy Carter. But there is seemingly no way of knowing the sexual orientation of every WNBA player or even how that statistic might pertain to Clark\u2019s popularity among her peers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cCaitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Black lesbian league and they resent and are jealous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got.\u201d &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1681,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1680"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1682,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1680\/revisions\/1682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
