OυtKick’s Clay Travis has made claims of WNBA players beiпg mostly lesbiaп, attribυtiпg the hate he believes Caitliп Clark gets to sexυality.
Travis was a guest on FOX News this week, where he discussed the league’s treatment of Caitlin Clark, asserting that she is being discriminated against because she’s heterosexual.
The former lowa star is being put through a test of fire in her first season and has endured some very rough treatment, having taken a number of hard fouls and cheap shots from her fellow WNBA players over the span of her first few games. While many reckon there’s a race bias where Clark and the league are concerned, Travis doesn’t believe that’s all there is to it.
“It’s not just race though, it’s also sexuality,” he said. “Caitlin 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.”
Travis went on to state that well over half of the women in the WNBA are lesbian.
“70% lesbian,” he declared. “And I think her having a boyfriend, who by the way said there needs to be an enforcer, creates two different identity politics universes that she doesn’t fit in in this league. They don’t like her cause she’s white and they don’t like her cause she’s straight. And as a result, the league is coming undone around her even though she’s bringing in new fans.”
Travis is not alone in his claims of the WNBA being mostly lesbians. Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett claimed WNBA players are part of a “big lesbian league” while speaking on the ‘It Is What It Is’ podcast this Tuesday.
“The WNBA is a big Lesbian league, right, and no matter how you cut it, no matter how you slice it, everyone isn’t open to seeing masculine and aggressive women play basketball,” he said before host Mase cut him off and made it clear that Clarett’s views did not reflect that of the show.
The Indiana Fever topped the Seattle Storm in blowout fashion, 92-75, on Sunday afternoon.
Indiana improved to 13-15 on the season, thanks to a big game from Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. They combined for 23 points and 27 points, while Lexie Hull added 22 points.
The Storm were not very happy with Clark and the Fever late in the game. Video has emerged, showing a player from the Storm shoving Clark out of the way late in the contest.
Things were getting pretty heated.
WNBA fans were ripping the Seattle Storm player for the shove of Clark during the game.
“Sore loser- This the Fever house CC or any Fever girls have the right to hype up their fans- like what?!?” one fan wrote.
“You thought dudes were competitively aggressive, watch how bad this gets when they keep winning,” one fan added.
“That’s not vet behaviour, (ahem SDS), from someone who seemed to care a whole lot about “game etiquette” at the end of the game,” one fan added.
“We really don’t need to keep handling Clark with kid gloves man. She’s a cold blooded competitor. She reminds me of Steph so much in that way because she looks innocent but she wants to embarrass you and she’ll let you know about afterwards too,” one fan added.
