Patrick Bet-David Puts Brittney Griner in Her Place Over Caitlin Clark “Slur” Accusation: WNBA Hypocrisy Exposed

In a viral moment lighting up social media and sports talk circuits, entrepreneur and podcast host Patrick Bet-David, along with co-host Vincent Oshana, took aim at WNBA star Brittney Griner for allegedly making racially charged comments toward rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. The remarks, which were caught on camera during a recent game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever, have ignited a firestorm of criticism, with many accusing Griner and the WNBA of double standards and toxic culture.

The incident in question centers around Griner allegedly mocking Clark on the court, reportedly calling her “trash” and referring to her in a racially derogatory manner as a “white girl,” a moment that quickly went viral online. While many fans and analysts expressed shock, the official response from the WNBA and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has been silent—no fines, no suspension, and no public condemnation.

On a recent episode of the PBD Podcast, Bet-David and Oshana didn’t hold back. They called out not just Griner’s alleged comments but what they see as a larger problem in the league: selective outrage, political favoritism, and a failure to support the player who is arguably saving the league—Caitlin Clark.

“If you want fans, if you want your league to grow, act like a professional,” Oshana said. “The league already started underwater, and instead of fixing it, they’re poking more holes in the boat.”

Patrick Bet-David echoed the sentiment, reminding listeners that Griner was brought back to the U.S. in a controversial prisoner exchange with Russia involving notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout, nicknamed the “Merchant of Death.”

“We traded a global criminal to bring you home, and this is how you repay the country? By trashing the one player that’s putting fans in the seats and keeping the WNBA relevant?”

The PBD team argued that if the roles were reversed—if Caitlin Clark had made similar remarks toward a Black player—the backlash would be immediate and unforgiving. “She’d be suspended, fined, and canceled on the spot,” said Oshana.

This apparent double standard, according to Bet-David, exposes a deeper issue in the WNBA: a culture that rewards divisiveness over merit. He criticized the league for tolerating attacks on Clark, a player who has significantly boosted ticket sales, TV ratings, and national interest in women’s basketball.

“Instead of celebrating her, they’re targeting her. Why? Because she’s different? Because she plays hard and doesn’t back down? This is the wrong message to send,” Bet-David added.

The conversation also touched on past criticisms Clark has received from other players, such as Angel Reese, further fueling the perception that the WNBA is hostile to its own rising star.

Oshana went further, highlighting how Clark has even acknowledged white privilege in interviews—an effort to show awareness and foster unity—yet continues to be targeted. “She bent the knee, and they still came for her,” he said. “The WNBA doesn’t want unity. They want control of the narrative.”

As Caitlin Clark recovers from a minor injury and sits out a few games, concerns are growing about the league’s viewership and ticket sales, which have skyrocketed thanks to her presence. If the WNBA fails to publicly address the situation or take meaningful action, some fear this could lead to further disillusionment among fans and sponsors.

“If this continues,” Oshana warned, “it could be the beginning of the end for a league that refuses to protect its stars while clinging to divisive politics.”

The debate continues to unfold online, with fans divided between those calling for accountability and others dismissing the controversy as overblown. One thing is clear: Caitlin Clark has become a flashpoint in the WNBA—not just for her talent, but for the cultural and political tensions now surrounding the league.
