Jason Whitlock: Nike and the WNBA fumbled the Caitlin Clark phenomenon
When Caitlin Clark was breaking records, packing arenas, and transforming women’s basketball into a national sensation, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock thought it was an appropriate time to drop a Nike shoe for the star.
Instead, the sportswear giant waited until Clark’s third WNBA season to launch one.
“Looks like a sharp shoe. But the timing of when they’re releasing, now, when Caitlin Clark’s popularity is at the lowest it’s been since 2022. Caitlin Clark starting her junior year of college started to become a force of nature,” Whitlock says.
“And by the time she got to her senior year in college, by the time she got to the national championship game her senior year, the ratings for women’s college basketball went through the roof. They set records, unprecedented records,” he continues, adding, “Caitlin Clark had arrived.”
However, despite taking the WNBA to a new level, she was never rewarded.
“No Nike shoe her senior year in college. No Nike shoe when she’s a rookie in the WNBA. No Nike shoe when she’s coming into her second season in the WNBA after setting the league on fire. No shoe then,” Whitlock says, pointing out that now she finally gets her shoe the same year “they’re struggling to sell out the arena in Indiana.”
“They missed the Caitlin Clark window, and they’ve undermined Caitlin Clark, and Caitlin Clark has undermined herself,” he continues, explaining that it should be examined why they “fumbled” her.
“It’s the alphabet mafia. It’s the LGBTQIA+, BLM,” he adds.
Whitlock points to the “sexual and racial politics that have been injected into all of corporate America” as the aggressor but notes that Clark fell for it as well.
“Caitlin Clark being a white, heterosexual woman, a tiny bit reluctant to bend the knee to the alphabet mafia, but she did bend the knee,” he says.
“But she didn’t have the complexion or the right sexual desires for Nike and for the alphabet crew. She didn’t have the right sexual arousal. She didn’t have the right skin color,” he continues, adding, “And so, Nike blew a golden opportunity.”

'Time to sue this liar': Elon Musk bristles at Democrat's accusations of DOGE child deaths
Tech trillionaire Elon Musk threatened to file a lawsuit against Rep. Ro Khanna of California after the Democrat accused him of "possibly" causing millions of child deaths: "Time to sue this liar."
Musk helmed the Department of Government Efficiency and presided over massive cuts in foreign aid that he said were mostly waste, fraud, and abuse. He has since left the DOGE and returned to his various tech ventures.
'The richest man in the world announced that he plans to sue me and called for my arrest. I will not be intimidated.'
Critics of the DOGE cuts have since accused Musk of being responsible for child deaths that were supposedly caused by the cessation of foreign aid. They cite a study claiming that the number of child deaths could reach into the millions by 2030.
While many have repeated the accusation, Musk finally fired back when Khanna used it as a part of his campaign to increase taxes on the wealthy to pay for liberal social programs.
"He’s such an evil liar," Musk said Sunday on X, the social media platform he owns.
Khanna said during a podcast interview released Saturday that Musk should be subpoenaed by Congress if the Democrats take over after the midterms and made to answer for the supposed damage done by the DOGE cuts.
Musk called for Khanna's arrest based on insider-trading accusations — which Khanna has denied — and added that Khanna should be imprisoned.
Khanna responded by calling on Musk to testify before Congress.
"Elon Musk Wants Me in Prison," the Democrat said. "I Want Him Under Oath. The richest man in the world announced that he plans to sue me and called for my arrest. I will not be intimidated."
Musk also argued that the cuts were justified and none led to any deaths:
All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
Musk previously also called Khanna "great" in Dec. 2022 during a debate on free speech in social media.
The attacks on Musk's wealth escalated after he became the first trillionaire in human history when the SpaceX initial public offering spiked his net worth.

The achievement led to a public debate about whether trillionaires should be allowed to exist and how progressive the tax system in the U.S. should be for the wealthiest individuals.
"We can tax billionaires a modest amount to make sure everyone has a fair chance while keeping our innovative engine," said Khanna in March.
The SpaceX market capitalization spiked to a high of $2.66 trillion before seeing a correction Tuesday and losing about $600 billion.

Leader of Antifa terrorist attack on ICE facility hit with STUNNING sentence — 7 others also sentenced
The Justice Department announced sentencing for a gang of Antifa-linked terrorists convicted of attacking the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas.
At least 16 people have been charged in the Fourth of July attack in 2025 that included vandalism and one officer being shot in the neck.
'Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice.'
On Tuesday, the DOJ announced that Benjamin Song, the leader of the group, was sentenced to 100 years in prison.
"Seven additional defendants also sentenced before one-year anniversary of attack to a combined 450 years in prison," the DOJ statement read. "This is the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa following [President Donald Trump's] executive order designating the group as a Domestic Terrorist Organization in September 2025."
Five defendants received 50-year prison sentences, while two defendants received a 30-year sentence and a 70-year sentence, respectively. The group had been found guilty of a slew of charges that included rioting, providing material support to terrorists, using and carrying an explosive, attempted murder, and discharging a firearm.
Federal prosecutors presented jurors with 216 exhibits and testimony from 46 witnesses during the 12-day trial at the courthouse in Fort Worth.
"Song acquired firearms that he distributed to co-defendants and recruited members at gun ranges and combat sessions he conducted, as well as from various ideologically aligned groups," the DOJ press release continued. "For example, defendants Ines Soto, Elizabeth Soto, and Savanna Batten were part of a group that created and distributed insurrectionary materials called 'zines,' according to trial evidence."
Chief Judge Reed O’Connor called the defendants' use of terror and violence an "assault on democracy" during sentencing.
One of the convicted received a continuance and will be sentenced on July 1. Seven others pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists and will also be sentenced on July 1.

"The sentences handed down today make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice," wrote acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a press release statement.
"Their violent extremism has no place in our country, and the Department of Justice will continue to aggressively investigate, disrupt, and prosecute those who threaten law enforcement officers or undermine the rule of law," he added.
Song's attorney characterized the defendants as just a "bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard," after the sentencing.
