“Seventy percent of the WNBA is Black. A third of the players are in the LGBTQ+ community and we have to do something about that stigma in this country, I think people have a problem with basketball playing women that are lesbians. Who cares? They are great athletes.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said she’d become a fan of the WNBA because Clark was so fun to watch, adding that it had nothing to do with her skin color.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg argued that Hostin and herself have been trying to bring attention to the WNBA for years.
“These women are oftentimes equal if not better, sometimes, than the folks you’re watching Goldberg said.
“Sometimes better than the guys! Hostin added.
Hill, in a comment to the Los Angeles Times, also called out brands like Nike for not sponsoring more diverse players. Clark signed a $28 million deal with the brand after she graduated from the University of lowa and she also inked an historic brand deal with Wilson this week
“Black women are often erased from the picture,” Hill said. “There’s plenty of room to highlight and celebrate Caitlin Clark’s popularity while also discussing ways in which to not erase Black women from a league that they have built and continue to build.
