Skip Bayless says he 'felt guilty' praising WBNA star Caitlin Clark because he didn't want to cheer for 'this red state white girl'

"Caitlin Clark started to feel like, to me, some sort of new right-wing symbol, white woman, dominating a game dominated by black men and women, for years and years. I can almost hear some people thinking, 'White power, baby!’”

Sports columnist and commentator Skip Bayless revealed that he “felt guilty” liking WBNA star Caitlin Clark. On The Skip Bayless Show, the host confessed to his deep-seated guilt for watching basketball star Clark. Clark has the top rankings of any rookie in the WNBA and was the number onw draft pick out of Iowa.

“I started watching the WNBA much more closely than I ever had, and I started to think deep down in my psyche, wait a second, she's really good,” he said, whispering the last three words.

“But I'll be the first to admit I felt guilty saying so on TV or on social media. I did not want to look like this red state white guy cheering for this red state white girl. Our country feels split enough racially already. I didn't want to pour gasoline on that fire,” Bayless continued.

“Maybe I was wrong about this, but Caitlin Clark started to feel like, to me, some sort of new right-wing symbol, white woman, dominating a game dominated by black men and women, for years and years. I can almost hear some people thinking, ‘White power, baby!’”

Authors and educators like Robin DiAngelo have made lucrative careers selling the theme of “White Fragility” to corporations and public sector workers for years, stoking the flames of white guilt. The recently released film Am I Racist, from journalist Matt Walsh, has challenged that narrative in a punchy and humorous fashion.
