Jemele Hill erυpted iп aпger wheп she claimed that Caitliп Clark received differeпt treatmeпt
from the media compared to black players
Caitlin Clark, the lowa Ha.vkeyes superstar, is the biggest name in women’s college
basketball for several yearslast year and haven’t even achieved that achievement
yet. She is known as Stephen Curry
female and attracts all eyes just like him.
Hot only did fans flock to see her but the media coverage of her went crazy, too
is a problem for Jemele Hill.
The former ESPN host argued that the media reports on the
White players like Caitlin -Clark are much different than black players.
“Everything about this sport has been trending for years now. It’s not just
let’s start with Caitlin Clark,” Hill said in an interview with Uproxx.
“r study I cited recently for an article in The Atlantic [foundthatj :hen you compare
the [coveraye] or someone like (raige) Bueckers. Sabrina
lonescu. or -Laitlin Clark to A’ja v.ilson, who dominated basketball at every level
Present. She is proba oly the best player in the :orld. And I m not trying to act like
she doesn’tcoverage, hut the level of coverage that non-white women sometimes
receive, or especially
especially wlack women. . not even close, Hill added.
Hill added that A’ja Wilson, arguably the best player in the world, deserved to be
included
believe more than what Caitlin Clark is getting right now.
“I mean. Aliyah Boston was the best player in college just a few years ago. Andshe
didn’t even get a tenth of the media coverage that Caitlin Clark did. Currently,some
people would say. ‘Uh, that’s her game.’ But I don’t think that’s it. shewas amazing
on television and I was thinking, What a missed opportunity fornational media to
really elevate her as a person. Caitlin Clark apparentlyGreat personality. but it
doesn’t look like Caitlin Clark is walking around talking crazy
material. They just covered up her brilliance, that’s enough. Meanwhile it feels
like for black athletes to receive similar coverage or even fair coverage,
There has to be something extra [besides basketball].”
-Clark is having a great run with No. 1 seeded lowa in his senior year.

her National Championship

Despite what Jemele Hill might think, Clark won’t just be engraved on the calendar
college basketball history because of her incredible scoring achievements but also
because of her overall impact
for women’s sport.
