Barstool’s recent fandom of Caitlin Clark is reminiscent of searching for a Great White Hope in men’s boxing. It also reveals an intense misogynoir and even latent homophobia in their persistent & purposeful erasure of all other great WNBA players and their refusal to learn about them & the league

Butker railed against the “tyranny of diversity, equity, & inclusion” as if including a marginalized voice/person is a danger-& here’s the response from the NFL’s most famous player, who plays a position ~20yrs ago a guy like him might not have gotten the chance to play if not for some DEI efforts
