On Thursday, SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly addressed Caitlin Clark’s interview with TIME magazine, where Clark apologized for her “white privilege,” explained why her comments wouldn’t win her support from fans on either side, and discussed the double standard faced by black athletes excelling in predominantly white sports.

 Caitlin Clark of Iowa, but now playing for Indiana in the WNBA, gets honored in Time as ‘Athlete of the Year.’ I don’t know I guess they need a lot of covers or something. They just want people who are gonna sell their shitty magazine. Anyway, she gets selected as ‘Athlete of the Year,’ and what does Caitlin Clark do?” Kelly began.

“She’s become a phenom in part because the players of the WNBA can’t f**king stand her. Why? Because she’s white. It’s abject, absolute racism. It’s total racism,” Kelly continued.

“And one of the things that’s been admirable about Caitlin is she just continues to play her game and put points on the board, and she does very well, and she wins games, and she puts butts in the seats, and she sells tickets, and she gets people tuning in on television, and all really we want to hear from anybody about this is ‘Thank you. Thank you to Caitlin Clark for making our league relevant,’ and so on. But instead, she’s been bullied repeatedly by the players in this league. She’s been assaulted physically. She’s been scratched in the eye,” she added.

“So she gets this honor, and all she has to do is continue staying above it. “Thank you. I’m grateful. Love being in the WNBA, and I love my colleagues, who I play with my teammates.” That’s it. Instead, she decides to go racial,” the host went on.

“And what she says is she feels the need to acknowledge her white privilege. Basically, she’s sorry she’s white. She feels really bad about it though, so you should give her a pass. And then she makes a point of saying the ones we really need to be celebrating are the black women on whose backs this league was built, which I have to tell you, is so condescending. It’s true that most of these black women have been bullying her and want her to understand, it’s their league,” Kelly said.

“Hello, you don’t own the league. Blacks don’t own the league, just like whites don’t own tennis or golf. Nobody owns the league. This is America, anybody can play if they’re good enough, but they want her on the knee. You’ll bend the knee, and you’ll apologize for being white, and you will suck up to the black women who built this league before you or you will be beaten,” she continued.

“You will be assaulted and you will be bullied with no friends. So she does it. She finally did it. She bent the knee self-flagellated over white privilege,” the host went on.

“I don’t remember Serena Williams apologizing for her blackness in tennis, which had been dominated mostly by whites. I don’t remember Tiger Woods apologizing for his blackness in the PGA, which was dominated by whites. No one would even think of such a thing. They celebrated this new figure in sports who maybe didn’t look like all the other figures they knew. They thought it was great,” she concluded.
