A prominent news outlet recently attempted to smear Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark on Friday, and the outlet was humiliated once again.
The outlet published an opinion piece suggesting that Clark’s insistence on calling for a foul when she was assaulted on the court placed lesbian Black players in danger of being lynched by white supremacists.
“What in the actual HELL? You utter, total, spite-filled brainless JERKS,” the writer claimed.
An uproar followed, and the writer locked down her account, issuing a statement admitting she had erred somewhat.
A day later, the outlet suggested that Clark had ignored a WNBA event for spurious and petty reasons. The outlet’s social media post stated: “Caitlin Clark skipped the WNBA Orange Carpet on Thursday, opting to get her hair done in her hometown of Des Moines.”
However, a community note on the X platform undermined this attempt to mischaracterize Clark’s decision, stating: “Caitlin was hosting a charity dinner in her hometown.”
