USA Today columnist sparks backlash over Caitlin Clark-Emmett Till comparison

A USA Today columnist sparked backlash after comparing WNBA star Caitlin Clark's on-court behavior to the lynching of Emmett Till.

USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour faces backlash for an opinion piece that controversially connected WNBA star Caitlin Clark's 'flopping' behavior to the lynching of Emmett Till. Fox News contributor Mary Katharine Ham condemns the comparison, calling it an 'emotional performance' and 'crazy person thing to do.' Ham argues the column minimizes a horrific murder and weaponizes racial history against Caitlin Clark, who is often fouled on the court.
