On Sunday, police arrested a man accused of stalking WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark. The details of the alleged stalking are disturbing.
Like OutKick reported on Monday“the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office alleges the man sent numerous threats and sexually explicit messages to the Indiana Fever star through his social media accounts'” before eventually attempting physical contact Clark traveling to Indianapolis.

So how does Jemele Hill fit into all of this? Well, in September, Hill posted a lengthy message on X where she said, in essence, that Clark doesn’t face the same “hate” that black women face in the WNBA.
Except no other WNBA players saw the man arrested because they were “very concerned about [their] security.” Clark is.

Several Chicago Sky players, including Angel Reese, claimed that the man “harassed” them and used racial slurs during the alleged incident in June. But there is no evidence that this happened, especially as the Sky players claimed.
And while Reese and the rest of Chicago’s WNBA players couldn’t wait to get on social media and ask that they were victims of harassment that may or may not have happened, Clark never publicly mentioned that she had a man travel from Texas to Indianapolis to try to confront her.
It certainly appears that Clark has faced harassment unlike anything any other WNBA player has had to endure. And remember, this is just one man that we know of because he went to extremes and had to be arrested. Who knows how many other people are harassing Clark on social media?
Certainly, we won’t hear about it from Clark, who never talks about the “hate” she receives, though many of her WNBA colleagues talk about love all the time their “haters”.
So Jemele Hill apologized and admitted she was wrong, right? Well, not really.
Instead, Hill tried to quietly delete the post and pretend she never sent it. Fortunately, social networks and the Internet never forget.

Hill is not the only one. Most of the media spent Clark’s entire WNBA rookie season telling the star that she should have spoken out in defense of her black teammates and opponents against online “hate”.
But has anyone asked Clark about the “hate” he faces on a daily basis? Not. They were far more concerned about black and LGBTQ players and their feelings than Clark’s physical safety.
Hill had the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and apologize for correcting her previous statement.

Unfortunately, it is like other sports media; they’ve decided that Caitlin Clark is incapable of being a victim – even when she’s literally the victim of a crime – because she’s white, and the black women of the WNBA are perpetual victims – even when they’re not actually victims of anything.
