Nathan is joined again by Frankie de la Cretaz, one of our favs, to dig into the impact of Caitlin Clark on the WNBA. We begin with a discussion of the economic and cultural landscape of the league pre-CC before delving into what it means to suggest that she has 'saved' the league and all of the many controversies that have accompanied her first season, principally the way in which it has literally endangered Black and queer players and fans. Frankie de la Cretaz is a writer focused on sports, gender, queerness, and race, including the recent Andscape pieces “The Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun WNBA game made me feel unsafe” and “The coverage of Caitlin Clark is reinforcing the trope of the queer villain”. They are the co-author of Hail Mary: The Rise and Fall of the NFL from Boldtype Books. Frankie's work appears everywhere, including The Nation, Sports Illustrated, The Daily Beast, and Teen Vogue. The End of Sport Podcast is a proud member of the Harbinger Media Network, your left podcast community. Find us in great company with over 60 other shows at Harbinger Media Network. As always, if you’re enjoying the show, please feel free to subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform and, please, leave us a five-star review as those always help us read a wider audience.
