Women’s sports activist Riley Gaines mocked Sunny Hostin over a recent comment the co-host of The View made on basketball star Caitlin Clark, claiming that Clark’s “privilege” did not help her on Saturday night.

Gaines made the statement while reposting footage of Clark’s recent game, which took place between her team, the Indiana Fever, and the Chicago Sky. During the game, Sky player Chennedy Carter hit Clark with her shoulder, forcing her to the ground, with footage of the incident shared online. 

“Her 1) white privilege 2) straight privilege 3) pretty privilege and/or 4) tall privilege didn’t help her here, huh @sunny?” Gaines, an Outkick host, wrote on X.

Last month, Hostin contended that part of the reason Clark has gained popularity in recent months stems from “white privilege” and “pretty privilege.” Hostin also pushed back against stigma surrounding WNBA athletes and their sexual orientations.

“I think people have a problem with basketball-playing women that are lesbians,” Hostin said. “Who cares? They are great athletes.”

In the wake of Hostin’s comments, TNT’s Charles Barkley argued that some women are being “petty” in their hate toward Clark and contended that they should instead be thankful for the attention she’s brought to the WNBA.

Clark was selected by the Indiana Fever with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft in April, an achievement she called a dream come true and the culmination of years of hard work. Prior to joining the WNBA, she played at the University of Iowa from 2020 to 2024 and was the 2024 women’s college basketball National Player of the Year.
