Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink waded into the debate over alleged white privilege in the WNBA, contending that some of her fellow younger white players “inherently” do have privilege.

Brink made the remark as some claim the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark is popular due to her race rather than her ability. Brink said in a new interview that she would like fans to support “all types of players.”

“I will acknowledge there’s a privilege for the younger white players of the league,” Brink said. “That’s not always true, but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine. Some of my teammates are more masculine. Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns. I want to bring more acceptance to that and not just have people support us because of the way that we look.”

Brink concluded her thoughts by saying she wants everyone to be accepted and not just receive attention “because of how they look.”

The No. 2 pick in this year’s WNBA draft, behind Clark, added there is a narrative that WNBA rookies “need to be perfect” and that she feels Clark “has that the worst right now.”

Among those who have alleged part of Clark’s popularity is from “white privilege” is Sunny Hostin, a co-host of The View. Hostin also contended that “people have ​​a problem” with WNBA players who are lesbian.

ESPN host Pat McAfee shared his thoughts on this debate during his Monday episode, and rebutted the idea that Clark is benefiting from privilege, arguing her popularity stems from her talent on the court. He added that the WNBA has “somebody special” with Clark, and that the Indiana Fever team is lucky to have her.

Last month, TNT’s Charles Barkley argued that some women are being “petty” in their hatred toward Clark and contended that they should instead be thankful for the attention she has brought to the WNBA.
