When we inquired about the inclusion of transgender women (biological men) in women’s basketball, OutKick sparked a national debate. No one is, however, asking Caitlin Clark, the biggest female athlete in women’s sports, because she now works in New York City and appears in a decent amount of media.
OutKick faced a lot of criticism in the first place for asking Staley about that topic. The left-wing media gave a myriad of reasons why we shouldn’t have done that. They’re wrong, but that’s their mind.
What they cannot refute is that individuals were really interested in hearing what Dawn Staley had to say about the subject. The film, posted to my X timeframe, garnered nearly 28 million opinions.
Since it was a press conference and there were those who didn’t want us to be given credit, that doesn’t even include the people who didn’t use my video.

What does that suggest to you? People care about the answer to that question, specifically from celebrities in women’s sports. The most popular name in women’s basketball training right now is Dawn Staley. Whether or not she dictates plans or no, her opinion on the subject does have an impact.
So, too, did the truth from Caitlin Clark, the biggest celebrity in women’s sports by a large margin. However, she is not contacted by the internet about it. Why?
For several reasons.
The media doesn’t want to lose access to Caitlin Clark, other star female athletes.
This one is the simplest to demonstrate. The WNBA declined to give us a media token for Monday night’s review after OutKick inquired about transgender sports. The WNBA claims that we missed its date by less than a day and that there is no room for even one more blogger in a 3000-person place. You may determine if that sounds reputable.
So, if you ask about biological men playing women’s sports during one of the biggest weekends in American women’s sports history, you don’t get to cover the sport anymore.
There are many reasons the WNBA made a poor decision. First, the OutKick market represents a group that typically doesn’t see a lot of women’s sports. However, many of those viewers tuned in to this time because of the plots.
By denying OutKick a credential, the WNBA is sending a clear message: we don’t want your fans. That seems like a bad business unit, but what do I hear?
No difficult issues are being asked in this area, they are also telling the rest of the internet. Softballs are tossed up for Clark to play with.
Caitlin Clark should be completely protected by the children’s sports media.
Clark has drawn unprecedented attention to women’s basketball and the “media” (which acts more as a PR firm than actual journalists) doesn’t want to disrupt that.
In a situation where she might find herself upsetting people, ask Clark about genetic female participation in women’s sports. Either she says she’s for it, in which case the majority of sports fans (who overwhelmingly don’t want biological men in women’s sports) will turn on her.
People want to know what she thinks about including transgender women (biological men) in women’s sports because Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in the field.

The left-wing press would enjoy that response, only as they did when Dawn Staley did it, given how unpopular it is among regular Americans.
If Clark comes out against it, sports enthusiasts do praise. However, she would have to face criticism from the internet that supports her. They don’t want to do that.
Finally, she could evade the issue like her nose manager at Iowa, Lisa Bluder, did. By the way, OutKick has reached out to Iowa to inquire whether Bluder may respond now that the time has ended. After she returns from supporting Clark at the WNBA Draft in New York, they said they would make a decision to support her.
If Clark avoids the question, that won’t satisfy anyone and isn’t an answer. Plus, the “reporters” may be forced to follow up, like OutKick did with Bluder. They don’t want to do that, either.
The press likes to make up stories about trans women’s sports.
They’re really bad about this, but some do consider it. The fact that there are too few transgender women (biological men) competing in Division I sports was one of the criticisms OutKick received regarding the Staley question.
That’s interesting because those similar people enjoy using inflated examples and tiny sample sizes to illustrate other points. They frequently publish a list of “horribles” on issues they support, often mentioning that the most extreme example is a very uncommon one the majority of the time.
They argue, “One is too some! However, there are too few people who identify as ladies and who deprive women of their accomplishments.
Also, it’s not just about the number of sportsmen. What about the natural male team’s entire roster? What about their critics? The instructors?

How about the sport coaches who now have to take into account athletes who are taking life-altering medications like hormone blockers in addition to their regular jobs? This issue doesn’t just affect the athlete. People in their immediate vicinity are affected by it.
Sure, natural people haven’t yet completely invaded Division I women’s athletics, but that’s because this problem is relatively new.
A natural male placed second in the two track &; category really this weekend. industry events at a girls ‘ high school track meet in Oregon. The athlete would have finished 61st and 46th in the boys ‘ division, but took a silver medal away from the girls instead.
This special swimmer is in the tenth grade. What occurs when this person enrolls in college? Free-ride athletic award for women’s record & industry? Rest assured, more of this is coming, particularly if we don’t put a stop to it now.
Caitlin Clark may say that women’s sports are only for girls, which would mean a lot to her.
All of this brings us to Caitlin Clark and her unwillingness to pose a straightforward query. Yes, many media outlets will make the claim that the WNBA Draft is “certainly the right time.” Again, they’re bad about that, but it’s their view.
I personally watched five Caitlin Clark hit events, starting with the Sweet 16 and continuing through the National Championship. The media generally asks her the same five concerns over and over again. And finally, she repeatedly responds the same way.
“We really enjoy Clark’s entrance into the WNBA. The internet has celebrated Clark for the entirety of her job, Clark says,” I have news for you.” And that’s OK! She’s a fantastic athlete who draws a lot of attention to her game.
No one will inquire about transgender athletes because Caitlin Clark, who is likely to be the first pull in the WNBA Draft on Monday evening, is taking a hit trip.

But that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be hesitant to respond to challenging questions. We don’t hold male athletes to that standard. Aaron Rodgers’ ideas are not to be questioned in the media, but they are then mocked for them.
They enjoy posing concerns to LeBron James about matters unrelated to hockey. Heck, he asks them to do that! It is a real problem with children’s sports to ask Clark about transgender athletes in children’s activities.
However, Clark has not been contacted by any of the media, and they won’t. Instead, they play the same old, stale issues that she’s already answered countless times about almost everything.
The media simply refuses to do its work in this regard, which is a depressing admission of the state of British news.
