Clark is cognizant of the racial underpinnings of her stardom. I want to say I've earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege, says Clark. A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been Black players. This league has kind of been built on them. The more we can appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made this league incredible, I think it's very important.
Kelly stated, "Look at this, Kelly said in a tweet. She's on the knee all but apologizing for being white and getting attention. The self-flagellation. The oh pls pay attention to the black players who are REALY the ones you want to celebrate.' Condescending. Fake. Transparent. Sad."
Clark recognizes the importance of elevating Black women in sports, asserting that "the more we can elevate Black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing."
The discourse surrounding Clark's comments reflects broader cultural conflicts regarding race, privilege, and representation in sports, emphasizing the contrast with Angel Reese.
