Jason Whitlock has accused 'race baiters' of inventing the narrative that Caitlin Clark is being weaponized to promote racist and homophobic views.
Just one month into her debut WNBA season, Clark is already the subject of widespread controversy after suffering some brutal treatment while on court for the Indiana Fever.
Some have suggested the 22-year-old is being targeted by rival players due to race and sexuality, with late-night TV host Bill Maher insisting it is because she is white and heterosexual.
In light of such opinions, others have claimed that she is now being weaponized to push racism, homophobia and even misogyny, something the player herself has publicly condemned.
Yet according to Whitlock, Clark is not being used to promote these ideas and is instead the victim of a false narrative made up by 'race baiters'.

The conservative sports podcaster wrote on X: 'Can someone direct me to the examples of people using Clark’s name to promote racism and homophobia? They just made it up.
'So now the race baiters can go on air and say: “Even Caitlin is bothered by bigots using her.”'
After Clark's shock Olympics snub last week, Whitlock hit out at Team USA and claimed the Fever rookie has only been left out because she's a white heterosexual woman in a world that has substituted 'Christian/patriarchal culture' for 'secular/matriarchal culture'.
'The Yas Queens and Khaleesi Queens create eunuchs, sluts, uneducated, thuggish r******, identity dysphoria, and chaos,' he wrote on X.
The problem, according to the 57-year-old bachelor, is that Team USA and women's basketball at large are prioritizing 'bigotry' against Christians and heterosexuals above the business of basketball. And as he said on Monday's podcast, he sees this trend as part of a greater feminization of America.
'This is a group of angry lesbians choosing sexual identity over what's best for business,' said Whitlock. 'They want to go to the Essence Festival and bed whatever woman that they want.
'They want to protect their sexual promiscuity. They want to protect their job security because corporate America has been so overrun by women, diversity, equity and inclusion. Everybody is afraid of women and so they're afraid to say any truth about women, particularly black women.'

But others, including Andscape's David Dennis Jr. (pictured), believe people are using Clark to 'lash out' at 'people they have disdain for: mainly the makeup of the WNBA, Black women, et al.'
Earlier this week, Clark hit back at talk of her name being weaponized after coming under to pressure to address the issue.
The WNBA star appeared to brush off suggestions her name was being used in the ongoing culture war surrounding the league when asked Thursday.
Connecticut Sun's DiJonai Carrington appeared to take issue with Clark's response, taking to social media to question how players - seemingly the former Iowa player - cannot be bothered by being weaponized for hate.
However, Clark took a stronger stance when pressed directly about the issue later Thursday evening ahead of the Indiana Fever's game against the Atlanta Dream.
'It's disappointing,' she admitted. 'Everybody in our world deserves the same amount of respect. The women in our league deserve the same amount of respect.'
