Ex-ESPN host Cindy Brunson embarrasses herself trying to discredit Caitlin Clark
We previously discussed the all-time low the sports media reached in defending DiJonai Carrington after she clotheslined Sophie Cunningham and then posted "White privilege" from the locker room following her ejection.
In doing so, no one embarrassed themselves more than former ESPN broadcaster Cindy Brunson.
Brunson claimed Carrington did not deserve a Flagrant 2.
Instead, she argued that Cunningham should have been ejected — not the player who clotheslined her.
Brunson also shared a post claiming white WNBA players benefit from " reverse DEI ." ELLE DUNCAN BLAMES CAITLIN CLARK, HER FANS FOR MEDIA SMEAR CAMPAIGN WHILE IGNORING FACTS If it appeared Brunson's remarks were driven by an agenda, she later confirmed it.
She said she is Team DiJonai "all day every day." "I’m team @dijonai all day every day and at most that should’ve been a flagrant 1 not an ejection," she posted on Threads.
One player Brunson does not support "all day every day" is Caitlin Clark .
In another bizarre Threads tangent, Brunson attempted to discredit Clark while discussing a game that did not involve the Fever.
On Sunday, Clark scored 37 points on 13-of-24 shooting, including 8-of-12 from three-point range.
She also had 10 assists as the Fever defeated the Sky, 113-90.
Brunson wasn't impressed.
She quickly argued that Clark’s performance should be discounted because the game was not competitive.
"Miss me with that stat padding 37 points, on the floor up 20 w/ a minute to go BS.
The 32 points in just 26 minutes was WAY more impressive from the ⭐ on the playoff team from the lone star state," Brunson posted above a story about Seattle’s game against Dallas, in which Clark did not play.
