Utah star guard star Caitlin Clark is an incredible player; she scored 41 points and added seven rebounds and 12 assists — a near-triple-double performance — to defeat LSU and advance to the final four. Jemele Hill had to make Clark's celebrity status all about race, though, saying, "Oh, here's this wonderful, kind soul from the great state of Iowa, representing middle America."
Last month, @HoopMixOnly asked for one good reason why Clark couldn't compete in the NBA:
Give me one good reason Caitlin Clark can’t compete in the NBA. pic.twitter.com/08zx47c2Og

Because 100% of the males in the NBA are bigger, stronger, faster, can jump higher and have more athleticism than 100% of the female college and WNBA players who ever existed or ever will exist.

I'm sorry that objective reality offends you.
Because the NBA players are much stronger and faster.

The same reason she doesn’t play on a men’s high school team.

Clark will be playing against South Carolina, and head coach Dawn Staley would be fine if a biological male joined the team — "If you consider yourself a woman and you wanna play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play."
South Carolina Head Coach says men should be allowed to compete as women.

Women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley said:
“If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play.”

That's the standard now? https://t.co/3MuRklPtjb

Let's see it.
This logic alone should disqualify Dawn Staley as being fit for head coach.

The liberal mindset is insane.

Men don’t belong in women’s sports!
She was in an ideological bind and she knew it. She had to opt for the woke answer or risk cancellation.

This is precisely how women lose their rights — by allowing men to take them.

It’s inexcusable for Dawn Staley to say it’s OK for a man to compete in women’s sports.
There’s no logical defense or explanation for it other than wokeness.
Shame on Coach Staley.
The correct way phrase this question to South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley:
— Alec Lace (@AlecLace) April 6, 2024
“Coach Staley, are you ok with men pretending to be women sharing the locker room with the girls on your team?”
I wonder how the women on South Carolina’s basketball team feel about this. Is Dawn Staley now going to start recruiting men to play on her team?
— RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) April 6, 2024
Were men allowed to play in women's sports when she was a player?
— 🇺🇸 Pismo 🇺🇸 (@Pismo_B) April 6, 2024
Have to believe she would feel differently if her team faced such an adversary.

Imagine the @NCAA Women's Final Four in a year or two when one team has a 6' 9" 250 pound #transwoman center. Which team would you bet on?

Yet another reason to root for Iowa

Until, say, her daughter has to shower and change along side a full grown naked man against her will.

What a shame. Takes gamecocks to whole new meaning now.

A lot of people are saying Staley seemed like she didn't want to answer that question, but knew she had to give the politically correct answer. Imagine the viewership if an NBA player decided he was a woman and joined the WNBA.
