60 minutes dishes out 12 minutes of b.s.—barely acknowledges Caitlin Clark as a factor in the surge in wnba ratings and crowds


[“‘Jason Whitlock: racism against Caitlin Clark has reached maximum levels’ (or has it?).”]

GRA: Whitey, Jon Wertheim interviewed Caitlin Clark for about 5 of the 12 minutes, and as he introduced the story said, “Clark was the biggest reason for the popularity of the WNBA this year, but not the only reason.”

He then went on to mention various negress players (which as Whitlock said, “no one cares about”). The players are now staying in 5-star hotels and flying on private planes, looking for a big league contract before next year (all because of Clark—let’s be real).

Clark looked pretty good in a tight, White, t-shirt and a padded bra, which made her look like Joey Heatherton. Heatherton, though didn’t wear a padded bra.

Wertheim brought up racism for about 30 seconds, but didn't ask Clark about it.

This was basically a public relations piece, promoting the league, while casting Clark as “one of many good players people want to see.”

It will be interesting the see the ratings of the wnba playoffs—post Clark—and see what the scribes think of those numbers.

They wouldn’t lie about that too—would they?
