Caitlin Clark Popularity Leads To Questions of Race & Sexuality | The View

MORE FROM 'THE VIEW':

[davidgriffin-miraclesmi]

She’s popular because she broke every scoring record in NCAA HISTORY. Period

[BigJon-wbjq]

Sunny should be fired for her racist remarks. Caitlin Clark is not popular for "pretty privilege"! She is popular for being extremely talented at basketball!

[BillBarrPresident]

Whoopi: she's had more 30+ point games than anyone in the last 25 years
Sunny: it's racism

I am a black man and that reporter is flat out racist and hates Clark she needs to leave that young lady alone SMH

[mushroomatume]

So people don’t idolize black athletes?
Jordan
Lebron
Serena Williams
Tiger Woods
Simone Biles

Give this girl the credit she deserves! Sunny’s got to shuffle her deck bc she plays nothing but race cards.

[terrylrichardson]

Black women have NOT collectively supported black women ball players since 1996.

[S-E-P-]

Has sunny ever watched a wnba game before because there’s a difference between playing basketball at 5 years old and playing it professionally.

[BillBarrPresident]

Sunny should not be allowed to talk about race until she pays her reparations.

[TBTrade]

Sunny is so weird. How is a straight white woman not considered relatable, but a black lesbian woman is? As Whoopi said, this has nothing to do with skin color or sexuality, this has to do with her record, and it definitely speaks for itself.

Clark is not the highest paid player in the WNBA. She is getting a rookie salary. She is getting more money than others from endorsements. Wilson and other companies are giving Clark these deals because she is incredibly well known and popular. It is a business decision. If more people knew and liked some of the black and/or lesbian WNBA players, these companies would be giving them deals. Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant all got huge deals. Not because they were Black, but because they were extremely popular and well known.

I’m black.. I watch her because she pulls up from half court like Curry.. what other black female baller doing that??

[heyisforhorses]

Why is Sunny so obsessed with Race? She is single handedly trying to make the world think that we live in the 1960’s and it’s so tired

[leopardc]

And these Women are still not watching the WNBA.

[TrueThoughtsTalk]

Sunny face when Whoopi was talking was priceless 😂she couldn’t say anything to disagree and at the end Whoopi cleaned up Sunny nonsense comments 😂again

[lindaperez]

So I thought we were against hating on women success?! Did I miss something? Not everything is about race Sonny.

[andrewberry]

I agree with Whoopi, Caitlin Clark is receiving all of this praise and attention because she is the all-time leading scorer in both men's and women's college basketball and she is finally bringing that attention to the WNBA. It has nothing to do with Clark's race or skin color; if she was black she would be getting the same praise and attention from everybody.

[eldowns]

Clark has earned everything she has, she shouldn’t be diminished to lift others up. She has used her voice multiple times to life others up.

[AM.]

Women were crying about lack of support for the wnba and now they can’t even root for Caitlin Clark who’s the reason they have sell out games now.

[marcusc]

S Hostin is that person that’s always looking for the negativity in others. Can’t celebrate other people’s accomplishments.

All the back & forth is annoying. I've been watching the WNBA since 1998. It has never received this type of attention before & I'm actually HAPPY about it. There are quite a few talented players: Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Kamilla Cardoso, Rickea Jackson, etc. The fact that some people can't see the bigger picture here & would just rather argue is annoying. The WNBA needs all the attention & support it's getting right now. ALL OF IT.
