Megyn Kelly Calls Out Caitlin Clark Bending the Knee and Apologizing For Her Whiteness, w/ Ruthless
On a recent episode of her show, Megyn Kelly took a hard line on Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s standout basketball player, after she was named “Athlete of the Year” by *Time Magazine. Kelly criticized Clark’s decision to apologize for her “white privilege” and highlight the role that black players have played in building the WNBA.
Kelly called it a “kneeling” to pressure from her black peers in the league, who she said have repeatedly bullied and even physically abused Clark. Kelly argued that Clark’s actions were both unnecessary and insincere, and could cost her fans.
According to Kelly, Clark should not have to apologize for her skin color, especially since she is a talented player who brings in a lot of viewers and revenue for the WNBA. Kelly compared this to sports legends like Serena Williams and Tiger Woods, who broke color barriers in sports but never apologized for their background.
Kelly also expressed her outrage at *Time Magazine*’s attitude, claiming that they used Clark’s honor to promote a political agenda. According to Kelly, this was a concession strategy between Clark and the magazine so that she would be named “Athlete of the Year” in exchange for her making statements that fit her left-leaning political views.
Kelly also deeply criticized the current political culture in sports, especially the ideology of reverse racism, when white athletes are required to acknowledge the role of black athletes or feel guilty about their skin color. She emphasized that sports should be based on performance, talent, and data – the most transparent factors – instead of raising issues of privilege or racial inequality.
The debate became more heated when Kelly argued that Clark was an inspirational role model for many young girls, but that her public apology for her skin color had damaged her image and divided her fan base. Instead of pleasing those who bullied her, Kelly argued, Clark should focus on her talent and dedication.
Kelly concluded that this reflected a broader trend in sports and political culture where racial issues are exaggerated rather than focused on individual worth and true contribution.
