WNBA star facing ‘hostility’ from media and players

Sky News host Rita Panahi says some in the media are claiming WNBA star Caitlin Clark’s success comes because of her “race” and “because she’s straight”. Ms Panahi says Ms Clark has been getting people interested in the WNBA in a massive way with her performance “breaking viewership”. The Sky News host says her success however is “inviting hostility” from other players. “It’s not just other players who are hating on Clark – some in the media claiming her success is because of her race and because she’s straight,” Ms Panahi said. “Can you believe the hostility this girl is facing for the crime of getting people interested in the WNBA – you’d think the players in particular would be grateful.”
