Brittney Griner’s alleged Caitlin Clark’s feedback trigger outrage amongst conservatives | EUROtoday

Atlanta Dream star heart Brittney Griner has whipped up conservative fury as they accuse her of hurling a racial slur at rival Caitlin Clark.

Moments earlier than the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream on the State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Thursday, cameras panned to Griner, who critics say labeled Clark “trash” earlier than calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

While a scarcity of audio meant it remained unclear whether or not Griner made the provocative remark, the second shortly grew to become gas for controversy and sparked debate on-line.

Conservative firebrand Riley Gaines shared the viral clip on-line and interpreted the three-time Olympic gold medalist’s feedback as a verbal assault.

“Brittney Griner appeared to call Caitlin Clark ‘trash’ and a ‘f***ing white girl’ after fouling out last night,” Gaines, a former NCAA Division I swimmer, tweeted.

“Just a reminder: this is who we traded for the Russian Merchant of Death,” she added, referring to Griner’s launch from a Russian jail in December 2022 as a part of an alternate for infamous worldwide arms vendor Viktor Bout, after she was arrested on drug expenses at a Moscow airport.

“Now imagine if Clark had said the inverse.”

Self-professed “survivor” of the January 6, 2021, rebellion on the U.S. Capitol, Philip Anderson, mentioned: “Caitlin Clark is a fool for bending the knee to these anti white pigs and Britney Griner should be sent back to Russia because that was the worst trade ever.”

Meanwhile, right-wing media pundit Paul Szypula mentioned the WNBA was “trash” for failing to formally handle the incident.

“Will the WNBA condemn, fine, and suspend Griner for this racist comment?” he tweeted. “Of course not. The WNBA is trash. Just like Griner.”

However, former ESPN commentator Jemele Hill shared Gaines’ publish and argued Griner had not known as out Clark.

“I get that your whole personality is caught up in stuff like this, so you don’t care about spreading misinformation,” she rebuffed. “1) the foul call made on her had nothing to do with Caitlin Clark. It was because she fouled Natasha Howard. 2) She clearly says “trash” and “f***ing WACK CALL.”

Former Chicago Bulls star, Ron Harper, tweeted that “they will always test Caitlin Clark, not because she is white, but because she is one of the best players in the WNBA.”

“Stop thinking this is about color,” he added.

Two days after the alleged Clark incident, Griner lower her halftime interview with CBS Sports quick on Saturday because the Dream took on the Dallas Wings.

Griner as an alternative noticed the referees strolling previous and could possibly be heard yelling at them to “be f***ing better.”
