‘The View’ cohost Sunny Hostin argued Caitlin Clark wouldn’t be getting the same amount of media attention and fanfare if she wasn’t a straight, white woman
While Sunny Hostin is happy to celebrate what Caitlin Clark has done for women’s basketball, she argued there’s far more to the story.
Clark, 22, the all-time collegiate basketball leading scorer during her time at Iowa, made her highly anticipated WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever on May 14. In the aftermath, former ESPN anchor Jemele Hill told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Sunday, May 20, that Clark’s race has “played a role in her popularity.”
In addition, Hostin claimed that Clark’s sexual preference — she has been dating boyfriend Connor McCaffrey since August 2023 — also aided in the basketball star’s meteoric rise. “Unfortunately, there still is that stigma against the LGBTQ+ community,” Hostin said. “Seventy percent of the WNBA is Black, a third of the players are in the LGBTQ+ community. We have to do something about that stigma in this country. I think that people have a problem with basketball-playing women that are lesbians.
