Conservative pundit Jason Whitlock has taken aim at Basketball Hall-of-Famer Sheryl Swoopes - who clarified some critical beliefs she had for Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark.
Back in February, Swoopes made some generalizations about Clark that proved to be incorrect prior to the Iowa star breaking the NCAA women's basketball scoring record.
Swoopes tried to claim that Clark's success wasn't legitimate by saying she was a 25-year-old player in her fifth year and that she takes 'about 40 shots a game'. In reality, Clark is a fourth-year senior aged 22, who averages 22.6 shots per game.
Those comments caused backlash - with some accusing Swoopes of racism. When clarifying her criticism on ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas' YouTube show, the four-time WNBA champion made the claim that 'Black people can't be racist'.
Whitlock pounced on those comments calling Swoopes a 'dumb jock' before showing his viewers on The Blaze her comments.
