Lib Journalist Throws Race Tantrum Over Caitlin Clark's Success, Furious About Coverage Compared to Black Players

Former ESPNer Jemele Hill went incredibly viral for all the wrong reasons days ago when she downplayed Caitlin Clark’s effect on the growth in popularity of women’s basketball, while also railing against the media for not giving the same attention to Black players.

Hill stated the media had been doing a terrible job covering women’s sports, and when it does, it will “overload in one direction” as she referred to the covering of white players like Caitlin Clark and UConn star Paige Bueckers.

Hill expressed dissatisfaction with the media’s coverage of women’s sports, citing an imbalance in attention towards white players like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers compared to Black athletes. However, she later praised Clark’s outstanding performance at Iowa following their loss in the national championship game, acknowledging her remarkable collegiate career.

Previously, Hill highlighted the disparity in media coverage between Clark and Aliyah Boston, emphasizing Boston’s excellence during her college career and questioning why she didn’t receive similar attention. With Clark now set to join Boston as a teammate, Hill reflected on missed opportunities for the national media to showcase Boston’s talents.

Iowa, led by Clark, set several viewing records during their matchups against LSU and UConn. The extent of viewership for Clark’s final collegiate game remains to be seen, with implications for her legacy in the sport.

“I mean, Aliyah Boston was the best player in college just a couple of years ago. And she did not get even a tenth of this media coverage that Caitlin Clark did. Now, some people would say, ‘Oh, it’s her game.’ But I don’t think it was that. She’s tremendous on television, and I’m thinking, What a missed opportunity for the national media to really elevate who she was as a person, she stated, via The NewYorkPost.com.”
