Jemele Hill is just one of the many sports analysts who have received backlash for comments about WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.
However, her comments didn’t necessarily bash Clark; they were more about how the media covers black women in sports than white athletes.
“Caitlin Clark seems to be a great personality, but it is not like Caitlin Clark is walking around saying crazy stuff,” Hill told Uproxx. “They’re just covering her excellence, and that’s good enough. Whereas it feels like for Black athletes to get the same amount of coverage or even fair coverage, there has to be something extra.”
However, Hill has now exposed a new reason to hate on Clark; this time, it isn’t even for anything basketball-related.
Recently, a video of Clark playing basketball was posted, where she nearly gets a hole-in-one.
Hill quote-tweeted the post, saying, “I finally found a reason to hate Caitlin Clark—she’s got a smooth swing and is an excellent golfer. This is simply unfair. Let me go shoot my 110.”

Of course, it was all just a friendly joke, and given how many people have been covering Clark and the WNBA this season, it’s nice to see this kind of stuff.
Jemele Hill Commented On Jerry Jones Threatening To Fire Radio Host
After the Cowboys’ horrible loss to the Detroit Lions, owner Jerry Jones appeared on 10.5 The Fan and questioned the team’s lack of spending in the offseason.
Jones got extremely defensive and threatened to fire the radio host, even doubling down on it to ensure everyone knew he was serious.
He then received a ton of hate for it, and Hill also threw in her opinions about the situation, saying, “Somebody is SALTY,”
