Even 'Around the Horn' got pretty contentious discussing Caitlin Clark today on ESPN. First, Courtney Cronin and Clinton Yates take aim at the narrow discussion of "Clark vs the rest of the WNBA":

"We're allowed to have an opinion." Frank Isola and Tim Cowlishaw weigh in next, making the case that WNBA athletes and the league should do more to lift Clark up rather than making her a villain. Host Tony Reali then asks, "are we up to the moment to cover this sport?"

Nice to see @clintonyates is continuing his race grift. Jemele Hill would be so proud. Dude is a clown.

Don't know Yates, but that was a clownish take

This television program has been on for a long time

I am confused about how Aliyah Boston is getting all this weight on her shoulders. Also everyone was doing the Beyoncé challenge when it was Angel a couple of weeks ago🤔

Yates ate that up!!! Anyone who doesn’t wanna talk about it either doesn’t want to admit that what he’s saying isn’t true or doesn’t care that there are clearly 2 sets of standards for Black and White star athletes in the league because Angel Reese got CHOKESLAMMED and not a word

It’s funny to see comments say Yates had a clownish take when there’s footage of Candace Parker, in her rookie year, getting into a brawl against the DET Shock for them doing the same thing to her what they’re doing to Clark.

You got all these new folks who just started watching when Caitlin Clark got drafted and are mad he brought up race? Y’all serious. Y’all white folks only started watching BECAUSE of CC. If this don’t apply to you: let it fly

The WNBA could be about basketball, but then, who would watch it? Instead, it's just another 'reality' show where it's all about the drama, and the ever-popular chick fights. That's how entertainment captures eyeballs today.

My biggest concern was that it felt like the refs are not protecting Clark . It was a obvious flagrant . If refs are in on getting Clark initiated to WNBA that isn't right .
