Part 3/7:
Candace Owens took a surprisingly supportive stance towards Clark, suggesting that at just 22 years old, the athlete deserves understanding as she works to navigate the public eye. Owens emphasized that everyone makes mistakes and that Clark shouldn’t be held to an unrealistic standard of perfection amid her rapid rise to fame.
David Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, also weighed in, claiming that Clark's popularity is built on her unique talent and the way she plays the game, not simply her race or privilege. He noted that many commentators contributing to the narrative about Clark are not genuine fans of basketball, which may distort her accomplishments for their agendas.
