It's time for Caitlin Clark to denounce biological men participating in women's sports.
basketball player Caitlin Clark became America’s sweetheart the last two years with her athletic performances on the basketball court. She spurred a renaissance of viewership foras the sport set records for ratings in 2023 and 2024. This was particularly true for games featuring Clark broadcasted on network television. Now in the WNBA after being selected first overall by theFever in the WNBA draft last week, Clark is arguably the current face of women’s sports in the nation.
However, Gaines received some company this week when another women’s college basketball stalwart, former Louisiana State University basketball player Angel Reese, courageouslyto call for protecting women in sports — a nod to the transgender assault on cultural, educational, and athletic norms in the country.Reese was a controversial figure during her time at LSU.
But now it’s time for her to take a stand to protect women’s sports. Now it’s time for Clark to denounce biological men participating in women’s sports. Making excuses for female athletes to remain silent has, in my opinion, always been a weak justification. That is even truer now in 2024, given the pushback against the progress and continued aggression of proponents of biological men playing in women’s sports. The time for half-measures and empty talk is over.
Clark is in the perfect position to do so. She has the country wrapped around her finger at the moment. She is a professional player, has signed her contract, and has signed a substantial multimillion-dollar sneaker endorsement deal with Nike. And given that the topic is in the news because of Dawn Staley’s and Reese’s comments, now is the perfect time for Clark to say something.
Her words would go a long way in helping restore sanity to the country and reject the toxicity of the transgender aggressive protectionism movement.
