Jemele Hill has a serious issue with Caitlin Clark, but it’s not from something she did or said, but from the media who covers her.

Caitlin Clark, the Iowa Hawkeyes superstar, is the biggest name in women’s college basketball over the past few years and it’s not even close. She has been billed as the female Stephen Curry and draws eyes to her just like him.

Not only do fans flock to see her, but the media coverage of her is insane, which is a problem for Jemele Hill.

The former ESPN host is arguing that the media covers white players like Caitlin Clark much more differently than they do with Black players.

“Everything about this sport has been trending up for years now. It did not just start with Caitlin Clark,” Hill said in an interview with Uproxx.

“A study I cited recently for a piece I wrote in The Atlantic [found that] when you compare [the coverage] of, say, someone like (Paige) Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, or Caitlin Clark to A’ja Wilson, who has dominated basketball at every single level. She’s probably the best player in the world right now. And I’m not trying to act like she gets no coverage, but the coverage that sometimes non-white women get, or specifically Black women get, is not even close. It’s two-to-one,” Hill added.

Hill further added that A’ja Wilson, arguably the best player in the world, deserved more coverage than what Caitlin Clark is getting right now.

“I mean, Aliyah Boston was the best player in college just a couple of years ago. And she did not get even a 10th of this media coverage that Caitlin Clark did. Now, some people would say, ‘Oh, it’s her game.’ But I don’t think it was that. She’s tremendous on television, and I’m thinking, What a missed opportunity for the national media to really elevate who she was as a person. Caitlin Clark seems to be a great personality, but it is not like Caitlin Clark is walking around saying crazy stuff. 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 [beyond basketball].”

Clark is having a fabulous run with the No. 1-seeded Iowa in her senior year. The superstar guard has broken several NCAA records as she looks to add a National Championship to her resume before she departs to the WNBA after the year.

Despite what Jemele Hill may think, Clark will not only be etched in college basketball history for her incredible scoring feats but also for her overall impact on the women’s game.

Caitlin Clark is a ratings and attendance darling in college, and she can bring that excitement surrounding her to the WNBA and that is a good thing for everyone.

Not only can she be a draw for her home fans, but also for other fan bases on the road. The WNA is already trending upward and Clark will only help it go to even bigger heights with her presence.

Everyone should be rooting that she turns out to be the WNBA version of Stephen Curry.

VIDEO: Something Suspicious Happened To NBC’s Broadcast As Cris Collinsworth Appeared To Get “Zapped By Roger Goodell” After Criticizing The Refs During Chiefs-Ravens Season Opener

The Kansas City Chiefs seemed to have some help during their opening game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

The defending Super Bowl Champions had some early flags go their way, with the visiting Ravens getting penalized for multiple offsides.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was also strangely allowed to call a timeout heading into halftime despite assistant coaches generally not being permitted to do so.

At one point, the refs failed to call a false start on Chiefs tackle Jawaan Taylor. NBC’s Cris Collinsworth pointed it out, but the broadcast suddenly went silent for several seconds.

Check it out in the video below:

Fans Were Fuming At The Kansas City Chiefs After Seeing The Missed Call

Fans expectedly raged online after watching the missed call.

“So this rule applies to 31 teams but Mahomes’ team gets a pass? What are we doing,” one fumed.

“He does it regularly – did it through out last years playoffs,” someone added.

“Taylor is the worst and most blatant offender in the league and has been through at least last season but I feel like rarely gets called for it,” another fan wrote.

“The KC offensive line gets away with more uncalled false starts and uncalled holding penalties than any team that I’ve ever seen by a wide margin,” a user noted.

“3 peat preparation from the League is off to a good start,” someone else said.

The Chiefs were leading 20-10 early in the third quarter at the time of writing, with Patrick Mahomes his usual brilliant self, throwing 12/18 for 188 yards, though he hadn’t made a touchdown pass and had a pass picked off.
