evidence: Whoopi Goldberg defends flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark: ‘This is basketball!’ "The View" co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, defended a WNBA player’s viral flagrant foul against star rookie Caitlin Clark on Monday, arguing it happens all the time in basketball. [...] Clark is arguably the highest-profile WNBA player of all time after her standout career at Iowa made her a sensation. [...] "Now, Caitlin Clark is bringing this money, these sponsorships, we hope, into the league and other players will benefit from it. 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," she said last month.
