\"Indiana<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Caitlin Clark is <\/span>in danger, but thankfully she has the good citizens of right-wing media to protect her.<\/p>

Read more The Death Rate for ICE Detainees Has Skyrocketed Under Trump<\/a><\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, Clark\u2019s Indiana Fever took on the Phoenix Mercury when, in the second quarter, Clark lost her footing while driving to the basket. During a brief scramble for the ball, Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas lodged a fist into Clark\u2019s throat. Thomas, known widely to people in the know as one of the more physical players in the league, was eventually given a flagrant 2 foul, the league\u2019s most serious penalty, after league review and suspended for one game.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not enough for right-wing media, which has gone overboard in her defense. Noted conservative commentator Benny Johnson, for instance, wanted justice, tweeting the next day to his four million followers, \u201cThis is our George Floyd.\u201d<\/p>

As of this writing, the pile-on continues:<\/p>\n

Boomer Esiason, a former pro football player turned radio personality, even floated the idea of Clark taking her talents over to Europe. \u201cIf I were Caitlin Clark, I would seriously consider going to play overseas somewhere and get the royal treatment,\u201d Esiason said. \u201cShe\u2019s a straight, white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

And look, maybe Boomer has a point. Maybe players are being unnecessarily mean to Caitlin Clark. After all, young, popular athletes in other leagues are never targeted like this by their peers, and it\u2019s only been Black women who have publicly challenged Clark\u2019s dominance. Maybe she should go to some peaceful majority-white oasis where she can be free of dumb squabbles about race and gender. She could probably become the multi-million dollar face of a league, even get her own signature shoe. Caitlin Clark could become an icon.<\/em><\/p>
