Clark, who had a historic NCAA career at Iowa, blasted into stardom this year after another successful season with the Hawkeyes. Clark’s star grew even brighter when she became the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft.

On Wednesday’s edition of the ABC talk show, Hostin spoke her mind about the privileges that played into Clark’s ever-growing popularity.

‘I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege,’ Hostin said. ‘There is a thing called White privilege. There is a thing called tall privilege, and we have to acknowledge that.’

‘And so part of it is about race because if you think about the Brittney Griners of the world, why did she have to go to play in Russia? Because they wouldn’t pay her,’ she said of the WNBA.

The discussion sprung from the panel addressing former ESPN host Jemele Hill stating that Clark’s fame is a byproduct of her race and sexuality. While agreeing to the core of the argument, Hostin said that she has no issues with Clark bringing eyes to the league

‘No, Caitlin Clark is bringing this money, these sponsorships, we hope, into the league, and other players will benefit from it,’ Hostin said. ‘But I do think that she is more relatable to more people because she’s White, because she’s attractive, and unfortunately, there still is that stigma against the LGBTQ+ community.’

‘Seventy percent of the WNBA is black. A third of the players are in the LGBTQ+ community, and we have to do something about that stigma in this country. I think people have a problem with basketball-playing women that are lesbians. Who cares? They are great athletes.’

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin responded by saying she became a fan of the WNBA because Clark is ‘so fun to watch’ – noting that it had nothing to do with her race.
