FIRST TAKE | Dojonai is racist! - Stephen A. on Dijonai Carrington critical of Clark on social media

FIRST TAKE | "Dojonai is the racist!" - Stephen A. Smith on Dijonai Carrington critical of Caitlin Clark on social media

[vin]

So Caitlin is too young and inexperienced to play in the US Olympics but now must "wear the crown" when speaking about Racism and what not? gtfo

[jaybowman]

Clark don't need to say shit Period . The only people who even think on this or worry about it every day is internet trolls . Go outside social media makes victim culture.

[harmansandhu]

None of them made a compelling argument about how it’s Caitlin’s fault? She is a class act through and through. Always respectful and says the right thing. It’s almost like she needs to apologize for being white, straight and a great basketball player. If expecting that from her is not racist, I don’t know what is?

[JeffSanfield-hzjp]

The only racism I am seeing is against Clark

[Elchulo]

If it wasn't for Clark, I wouldn't even be watching this clip lol. Crazy

[trainerjoe]

I come here for sports talk. Not this bullshit. Don't feed me cheerios and tell me it's steak. I can't believe ESPN allows this.

[prxzvrn]

She is 22 years old. Can we seriously calm down with all this media around her? Just let her play. It’s ridiculous this is even a conversation. None of this furthers anything beneficial whatsoever. She doesn’t need to be a savior nor is she to blame for her skin color. It gets so old every time they can bring this in they do. It takes away from the message completely and the appreciation for what we are seeing. So tired of it.

[richie]

Stephen A dancing around the topic. She's a white STRAIGHT girl, good on the eyes with basketball skills. She's not a lgbtq. She portrays a lifestyle that parents with daughters love.

[tlwmillionaire]

Caitlin clark doesnt have time for foolishness.

[bulldawg]

So no mention of the racist attitude toward CC

[freddygaulman]

WNBA players: Lets refuse to speak on CC in public but tweet about her 24/7 and when we get called out for it, cry racism

[adamperaza]

SAS said so much and so little all at the same time. MJ was never a vocal activist and he is most of y’all’s god. But CC has to be? Let the girl play ball, if you wanna play victim do it yourself. Stop expecting others to do it for you.

[dacryptkeeper]

Did it ever occur to SAS that being black does NOT exclude one from being racist???

[biolausc]

Caitlin Clark's job is to play ball, she's not Mother Teresa or Martin Luther King Jr. The W is a Black and Lesbian league that's not mainstream, people have choices on what they want to spend their time and money on, the W is not one of those things!

[smithcarson]

One thing I love about her is she haven't said not one negative thing since joining the WNBA, but for some reason social media and all those sports shows keep using her for their own agendas.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Yelliwj]

Caitlin should just go play overseas where she doesn't have to deal with this BS. She's obviously not welcome in the WNBA.

[ChefDeli]

Now why in the world did SAS just bring up Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks... Caitlin Clark is not Muhammad Ali! Y'all need to relax. Michael Jordan didn't even address social justice issues please stop

[richmanz]

I don’t remember Larry Bird, Chris Mullin or John Stockton having to bear a burden of social justice. This is what makes the WNBA so insufferable. It’s worse than watching an athletic version of the Kardashians. All the worst female traits play out- jealous, petty, social bullying, emotion driven cat fights.

[Incognitotor]

I remember MJ basketball only. They never bothered him. He was brilliant and never caved to the press.

[jamesrowe]

This is straight nonsense CC just wants to play basketball that’s what she is getting paid to do she should not be forced to comment on the crazy outside of basketball just because black people feelings are hurt. Rosa park Martin King this is outrageous
