Stephen A. Smith says Caitlin Clark is being used as a political football
Stephen A. Smith claimed that WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark is being turned into a political football, arguing that the media’s focus has shifted from her on‑court performance to off‑court debates.
Smith emphasized that the young star, who is averaging 20 points and five assists early this season, deserves attention for her talent rather than political narratives. Clark’s coaches echoed the sentiment, urging fans to let the game speak.
The comment has ignited a lively discussion among basketball analysts and fans alike.
