It’s because the media reports about her.
Caitlin Clark, the lowa Hawkeyes 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. Not only did fans flock to see her, but the media coverage of her went crazy, too is a problem for Jemele Hill.

It’s not just let’s start with Caitlin Clark,” Hill said in an interview with Uproxx. “A study I cited recently for an article in The Atlantic [foundthat] when you compare the [coverage] of someone like (Paige) Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, or -Caitlin Clark to A’ja Wilson, who dominated basketball at every level Present. She is probably the best player in the world.
And I’m not trying to act like she doesn’tcoverage, but the level of coverage that non-white women sometimes receive, or especially especially black 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, ‘Oh, 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. Peoplesuperstar defenseman broke several NCAA records as she sought to add to her National Championship added to his resume before leaving the WNBA later that year.
