Back to Episodes#43 - Caitlin Clark Takes the Hits While the WNBA Takes a Pass
Description
In this episode, Rep. Erin Houchin is joined by Rep. Sheri Biggs as they discuss the RSC's letter demanding accountability from the WNBA for the physical attacks targeting the league's star player Caitlin Clark.
Houchin and Biggs break down the pattern of on-court violence Clark has endured, from being hip-checked and poked in the eye to being struck in the throat, along with the online harassment that has followed her off the court. They discuss why the letter warns of potential action from the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission if the WNBA continues to look the other way.
They also connect the moment to the broader fight Republicans are leading to protect fairness and safety in women's sports, and call out Democrats for defending policies that let men compete in women's spaces even as one of the league's biggest stars is targeted and the WNBA stays silent.
