Skip Bayless calls the WNBA to investigate Brittney Griner’s comments, who he said was directed to Caitlin Clark. He insisted that the league would act if the roles were reversed.
Before Clark was sidelined with a quad injury, she led Indiana’s fever to an 81-76 victory against Atlanta’s dream last month. But the result of the game was overshadowed by the television cameras to catch Griner, who plays for the dream, expressing the frustration of the bench after having overshadowed.
Although there is no audio, Griner seems to say “f * cking trash” before adding what a faction on social networks interpreted as “f * cking white girl,“Apparently on Clark. Almost two weeks later, Bayless weighed on the subject after seeing the WNBA dodge the controversy.

“I waited to comment on this until the WNBA can investigate,” said Bayless. “I wanted them to publish a statement on this subject. But we didn’t hear anything from the WNBA, absolutely nothing. And Brittney Griner did not comment, which I find significant. ”
Bayless noted Jemele Hill and others said he would say more than Griner said “F * Cking Wack Call” that F * Cking White Girl “, which made much more sense given the context of the situation. According to Bayless, however, he firmly believes that Griner was surprised leading a racist comment to Clark, despite the explanations on the contrary and in total proof beyond the bad rehabilitation of the lips.
I understand that all your personality is taken in stuff like this, so you don’t care to spread disinformation.
1) The call for fault on her had nothing to do with Caitlin Clark. This is because she hung Natasha Howard.
2) She clearly says “bin” and “fucking Wack call” … https://t.co/l46quungv8j

“It seems that Brittney Griner says” F * Cking White Girl “, said Bayless. “For me as the last word is” girl “and not” call “. Tell me I’m wrong.
Bayless also rejected the theory according to which Griner could have directed the commentary of an official assuming that she would have called the referee a “white lady” or a “white woman” instead of a “white girl”. According to Bayless, Griner probably remarked on Clark because of his popularity and his impact on the League.
“No matter why Brittney Griner said what she said,” continued Bayless, “I want to know, she agrees with one of her players saying” F * cking white girl on the bench and gets caught by television cameras saying such? I guess they are. Immediate suspension, if not a career for said white girl.
“Just me, I find this offensive sentence. And I bet that many white fans have found it offensive, and maybe even black fans considered it offensive. Does WNBA think that the viral video of this remark was good for business?”
The WNBA recently investigated the alleged racist remarks of the fever fans directed against the Chicago Sky Angel and striker attacker and found no evidence of this type hateful comments. Regarding Griner’s remarks, the WNBA has not declared publicly if it had examined the problem. Likewise, Griner did not approach the alleged comments or clarified what she said when the television camera has made its way. Probably because there was nothing to make to make a statement in the first place.
Even those who used bad faith arguments for the first time have evolved. But for any reason, Skip Bayless did not do it.
