Michael Eric Dyson Instagram – Michael Eric Dyson dives in with a nuanced and righteous take on the rise of Caitlin Clark saying “her epic emergence is surely in part about race, gender, and the myth of meritocracy.
Other players, mostly Black women, are supposedly jealous of Caitlin’s success. They allegedly chafe at her stardom, envy her talent, resent her privilege, despise her popularity. By giving her hard fouls, tough talk on and off the court, and sending subliminal shots on social media, Black women are being portrayed as a grievous gaggle of mean girls.
This narrative ignores how rookies of all races endure initiation into the WNBA through roughhouse treatment,” Dyson writes.
