Alyssa Thomas, a standout player in the WNBA, has reportedly expressed frustration over the league’s poor ratings, with some sources suggesting she believes Caitlin Clark is partly to blame. According to these reports, Thomas allegedly insinuated that Clark, who has garnered massive attention in women’s college basketball, is benefiting from a racial bias in media coverage.
This has sparked a heated debate among fans and analysts. Some agree that there’s a disparity in coverage between players of different backgrounds, while others think Clark’s rise is due to her undeniable talent. The conversation has brought discussions of race and representation in women’s sports back into the spotlight. Neither Thomas nor Clark has directly addressed these reports, leaving the story to stir speculation.
