Jason Whitlock has reacted angrily to Team USA’s Caitlin Clark Olympics snub, blaming ‘BLM-LGBTQIA+Silent P Alphabet mob bigots’ in a series of angry social media posts.
News of Clark’s rejection in Paris has sent shockwaves across American sports, but conservative podcaster Whitlock went further Saturday by blaming the gay community for the WNBA star’s absence.
At first, Whitlock said he was glad Clark wouldn’t be competing in the upcoming Games, writing, “Am I the only one glad they left Caitlin Clark off the Olympic team? Now I don’t have to watch a guy play basketball.” group of angry, entitled feminists who hate America.
But the target of Whitlock’s ire soon shifted away from patriotism when he wrote, “They hate Cait.” End of story.’
He continued in a separate post: “The decision makers in women’s basketball are not stupid. They have been bullied by BLM-LGBTQIA+Silent P Alphabet mob fans.
Caitlin Clark has reportedly been left off the United States team for this year’s Olympics.
Jason Whitlock blamed ‘BLM-LGBTQIA+ alphabet mafia’ for Clark’s surprise omission
‘The same cowardice that built statues of George Floyd, made Juneteenth a federal holiday, codified same-sex marriage, allows drag shows “for children,” let “Lia Thomas” swim… They keep making offers that we do not reject.
‘The mafia hates Cait. He refuses to publicly worship the Yas Queens and does not scissor, so he sleeps with the fish.
The WNBA’s handling of Clark has been scrutinized through the first 12 games of her league career, with players apparently targeting her because of the hype after she was the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft.
Chennedy Carter pushed her to the ground without touching the ball in last week’s game against the Chicago Sky. OutKick founder Clay Travis said the physicality Clark had to endure in games was because she “is a straight white woman in a black lesbian league.”
Whitlock, after echoing those sentiments, turned her attention back to the sport itself, disagreeing with one fan who said there isn’t a single member of the U.S. Olympic team she should replace.
“She could replace any of the 12. It doesn’t take any of them to win gold,” Whitlock said. ‘The “who do you eliminate from the team?” The debate is comical. As if it mattered.
‘For the first time in American history, women have the biggest star in sports and they don’t know how to use it. This is high comedy. They are all Tito. This is Michael. Beat it.’
The No. 1 pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, Clark has helped propel the popularity of women’s basketball to new levels since being drafted by the Indiana Fever.
Clark, 22, was picked first overall in the WNBA Draft earlier this year by the Indiana Fever.
He scored 30 points on Friday to lead the Fever to a narrow victory over the Washington Mystics.
But his omission from the Olympics had been anticipated for weeks, as DailyMail.Com reported a month ago, on May 8.
There’s a mantra of ‘pay your dues with Team USA.’ within the national team, meaning players cannot expect to be included in the biggest games if they are not consistently available.
Clark was the only college player invited to join the 14-player U.S. training camp earlier this year. However, he was unable to attend because he was part of the Iowa Hawkeyes team that reached the national championship in the NCAA Tournament.
On Friday, Clark scored 30 points as the Fever beat the Washington Mystics 85-83 for their third win of the season.
The WNBA season will take a break from July 21 to August 14 for games in which the Americans will open the tournament in Group C against Germany, Japan and Belgium.
The United States will begin its quest for another medal on July 29 against the Japanese.
Team USA is seeking its eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal in basketball, and 10th overall, in Paris.
