Bill Maher Criticizes WNBA Teammates for Failing to Defend Caitlin Clark
Maher attributes lack of support to gender dynamics, race, and Clark's outsider status in the league
- Maher highlighted a viral clip of Clark being shoved by Chennedy Carter and not aided by her teammates.
- He argued that male athletes would defend their teammates in similar situations, unlike the observed behavior in the WNBA.
- Maher described women's behavior as 'catty' and suggested Clark's race and non-lesbian identity as factors.
- Journalist Abigail Shrier blamed the Indiana Fever's coaching staff for not enforcing team solidarity.
- Reason Magazine's Matt Welch countered that not every incident involving race is due to racism.
