It's an open secret that many people got into journalism in order to 'make a difference' in society. It's almost as well known that those journos who ended up in the style, food and sports sections are frustrated social justice warriors who have to cover undesirable beats when they'd rather be fighting the Man. So whenever they can, they inject goodthink into their content.

Then there's Nancy Armour, the Sports Alpha Queen Liberal Crusader. Armour is no stranger to Twitchy with diatribes about Tom Brady's 'heterosexual privilege' and 'sexism in cheerleading'.

Well, have we a treat for you!

Before we go any further, here's a TL/DR (too long/didn't read) in case you don't want do descend into the pit of despair.

The rest of the Tweet.

... should be out in a straight jacket and locked up.  We can’t have these types of smooth brains roaming freely in society

The scandal here is that Clark made some objections to non-calls of fouls. This writer is not knowledgeable on the finer points of basketball, so whether the fouls were legit is not the focus here. But it turned out that on review, Clark was deemed to be in the wrong.

Since Clark is the lightning rod for harassment both on the court and off, Armour saw her golden moment to let her uber AWFL flag fly.

To summarize:

  • Clark made bad accusations against fellow WNBA players
  • Many WNBA players are black.
  • Clark is white.
  • We have a long history in the country of whites making bad accusations against black people.
  • One of them was Emmett Till.
  • Emmett Till was murdered by racists.
  • (And oh yeah, Clark has white nationalist fans)

That is some seriously hyperbolic, inflammatory and logically tenuous rhetoric worthy of a Gender Studies thesis.

Here's the actual post. Remember if you click on the link, Nancy and USA TODAY get paid. Proceed with caution.

We'll also add that the WNBA is the female white savior's favorite playground. Recall a few short weeks ago when Alyssa Thomas brutally fouled Caitlin Clark and the league literally looked the other way. Then after public outcry, they gave Thomas a one-game suspension. Fans were outraged and the WNBA responded by ... wait for it ... rushing to Thomas' defense. Nancy Armour is right at home in an environment that puts fairness and objectivity behind the more fashionable causes of 'restorative justice' and fighting 'structural racism'.

The reactions were merciless.

We really don't know why Clark stays with the WNBA when the deck is stacked against her. Coaches, referees and owners permit her to be abused while progressive sports 'journalists' feel the need to dump on Clark, when her biggest sin is excelling in a sport that she's not supposed to be.

Yes, this.

Are you ready for the epilogue?

Yep, she locked down. Probably because 'OmG, I tRiGgErEd tHe MaGa ChUds!' and not that she did anything wrong. She also released the standard apology/non-apology.

Travis is right, journalism is broken, but we'd make one correction, most niche journalism is broken going back a long time. Movie reviewer's ratings mirror their biases more than the quality of the movie, for example. Today, there is no corner of the profession not infected by Woke.
