Leftist Sports Writer Blames Caitlin Clark’s Foul Complaints For Potential Violence Against Blacks

USA Today’s far-left “sports” columnist Nancy Armour jumped into her column this week to allege that Caitlin Clark is a danger to queer, black women in the WNBA because she enables “white nationalists” to “lynch” blacks.

Armour spent her July 23 column attacking Caitlin Clark as an instigator of race hate and a dangerous influence on the WNBA because she has finally begun to speak out on the court about the constant physical attacks she suffers at the hands of opponents, who Armour herself admits are mostly “black and queer” women.

The abuse Clark takes is apparently OK as long as it is perpetrated by “black and queer” players, but Clark better not speak up because that is somehow racist and homophobic. But Armour goes even farther and alleges in her piece that Clark is making it all up and she isn’t suffering any abuse at all. It is all just Clark’s habit of “flopping,” and faking every nasty push, punch, jab, and face gouge. It’s all in Clark’s mind, Armour claims.

My God, is there a bigger POS in the history of profession sports then Alyssa Thomas, who's playing the victim card after she throat punched Caitlin Clark and only received a one game suspension!

Sports “journalism” is broken. @nrarmour says she made an “inartful comparison” between Caitlin Clark complaining about fouls and the murder of Emmett Till. Bigger issue here is sports writing is so woke @USATODAY published it. pic.twitter.com/Hcp1uM8d9T

“In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till’s hometown of Chicago,” Armour wrote in an apology posted Thursday on — where else? — Bluesky. “I obviously did not provide enough context for that.”



For background, Armour published one of the most desperate and irresponsible sports columns of the year earlier this week, arguing that Clark’s reactions to missed calls put “Black” and “queer” WNBA players “in danger.”

Paraphrasing Armour’s argument wouldn’t do it justice. So here it is:

“It shouldn’t need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of ‘defending’ white women. The WNBA’s All-Star Game this weekend is in Chicago, Emmett Till’s hometown, and a local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn’t been lynched. While it’s incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions.”

Alyssa Thomas says punching Caitlin Clark in the throat wasn’t a big deal because no one saw it
