Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark was involved in a bit of an altercation during a recent game against the Chicago Sky when Sky guard Chennedy Carter shoved Clark between plays. And now, right-wing sports personality Clay Travis thinks he knows the explanation for the incident: Black lesbians are jealous of Caitlin Clark.
During a recent appearance on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, Clay Travis claimed that the WNBA is a “Black lesbian league” and they are all “jealous” of Caitlin Clark, who is a white heterosexual.
“Caitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Black lesbian league and they resent and are jealous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got. And instead of recognizing the truth, which is great athletes who people care about coming into your league really do get everybody more money,” Travis told Hannity on Monday.
Hannity rightfully pushed back on this, questioning why Travis was referring to it as a “lesbian league” when he would have no way of knowing the sexuality of each player.
“Let me ask you this,” Hannity said. “Why do you say lesbian league? I mean, I don’t know anything about the sexuality of any of the girls in the WNBA.”
Travis responded by offering a completely incorrect and made-up statistic and continuing his theory.
“70% lesbian,” Travis said. “And I think her having a boyfriend, I think it’s a fiancé, who by the way said there needs to be an enforcer, creates two different identity politics universes that she doesn’t fit in in this league. They don’t like her cause she’s white and they don’t like her cause she’s straight. And as a result, the league is coming undone around her even though she’s bringing in new fans.”
That’s certainly a take!
