Clark, who has been a standout player in women’s college basketball, took to social media to address O’Neal’s remarks. “It’s disappointing to hear someone who has achieved so much in the sport make comments that are disrespectful to the WNBA and the incredible athletes who play in it,” she wrote.
The WNBA has seen significant growth in recent years, with increased viewership and attendance. Clark’s response highlights the league’s progress and the passion of its players and fans.
O’Neal’s comments have sparked a wider debate about the state of women’s sports and the challenges faced by female athletes. While some have defended O’Neal’s right to express his opinion, others have criticized his remarks as sexist and dismissive.
