WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark was named TIME Magazine’s Athlete of the Year last week. In her interview with TIME, she addressed some of the issues that followed her breakout year.
“I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege. 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. I have to continue to try to change that. The more we can elevate Black women, that’s going to be a beautiful thing,” she said.
