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

So how does Jemele Hill fit into all this? Well, in September, Hill posted a lengthy message on X saying, essentially, that Clark doesn’t face the same “hate” that black women face in the WNBA.
Except no other WNBA player has seen a man arrested because they were “very worried about [their] security.” Clark did.

Now, several Chicago Sky players, including Angel Reese, have claimed that a man “harassed” them and used racial slurs during an alleged incident in June. But there is no evidence that that happened, especially as Sky players claimed.
And while Reese and the rest of Chicago’s WNBA players couldn’t wait to take to social media and claim they were victims of harassment that may or may not have happened, Clark never publicly mentioned that a man traveled from Texas to Indianapolis. to try to face it.
It sure seems like Clark faced harassment like no other WNBA player ever had to endure. And remember, this is just the only man we know because he took it to the extreme and had to be arrested. Who knows how many other people are trolling Clark on social media?
We certainly won’t hear any of that from Clark, who never talks about the “hate” she receives, even though many of her WNBA colleagues love to constantly talk about their “haters.”
So, Jemele Hill apologized and admitted that she was wrong, right? Well, not entirely.
Instead, Hill tried to quietly delete the post and pretend he never sent it. Fortunately, social media and the Internet never forget.

Hill is not alone. Most of the media spent Clark’s entire rookie season in the WNBA telling the star that she needed to speak out in defense of her Black teammates and opponents against online “hate.”
But did anyone ask Clark about the “hate” he faces daily? No. They were much more concerned about Black and LGBTQ players and their feelings than they were about Clark’s physical safety.
Hill took the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and apologize to correct his previous statement.

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