Jemele Hill is just one of the many sports analysts who have received backlash for comments about WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.
However, her comments didn’t necessarily bash Clark; they were more about how the media covers black women in sports than white athletes.
“Caitlin Clark seems to be a great personality, but it is not like Caitlin Clark is walking around saying crazy stuff,” Hill told Uproxx. “They’re just covering her excellence, and that’s good enough. Whereas it feels like for Black athletes to get the same amount of coverage or even fair coverage, there has to be something extra.”
However, Hill has now exposed a new reason to hate on Clark; this time, it isn’t even for anything basketball-related.
Recently, a video of Clark playing basketball was posted, where she nearly gets a hole-in-one.
Hill quote-tweeted the post, saying, “I finally found a reason to hate Caitlin Clark—she’s got a smooth swing and is an excellent golfer. This is simply unfair. Let me go shoot my 110.”
Of course, it was all just a friendly joke, and given how many people have been covering Clark and the WNBA this season, it’s nice to see this kind of stuff.
