If the other players could drive Clark from the league altogether, they would not lose much in personal compensation, which clearly would not have been the case had black NBA players banded together to injure Larry Bird or push him out of professional basketball. They would have paid a serious price for their actions. The women, not so much.

Because the WNBA is not a profitable entity, its survival owes more to feminist and racial politics than anything else and the response of the league to Caitlin Clark drives home that point. A male star like Clark who is so good that he is changing the game would be honored in the NBA. The WNBA, however, is looking more and more like just another part of the modern Grievance Industry. As long as the league is heavily-subsidized, don’t look for that part to change.
