He talked about this on his show, Fearless, and then on sites like Twitter. Many people called him out, saying his words were sexist and homophobic.
He thinks the Fever, and the WNBA in all, stick too much to what he sees as a “lesbian culture,” which he thinks stops Clark from shining bright. He said the team didn’t really want Clark to be a huge star and would rather “destroy” her than embrace the commercial benefits she brings.

He called out Stephanie White, who is with ESPN person Lisa Salters, saying her being in charge is why players like Clark feel left out. He even said they should hire Mark Jackson, a man who used to coach an NBA team, instead.
Things have been rough for the Fever. They have good players and are getting better at attack and defense, but they can’t keep up a steady pace. Clark, even though she was picked first and was looked at a lot, had a hard start in her pro life, missing a lot of shots and losing the ball often.
To make it worse, older player DeWanna Bonner, who just joined, doesn’t want to stay. She doesn’t like how they play or maybe how they run things. Whitlock said this shows the team is not set up right to help Clark.
Unfortunate comments
People have hit back hard at Whitlock. They say a coach should be picked for skill, not because of who they like or what they are. Stephanie White, once named best coach, was hoped to make the team better, and there are signs it might work, but it’s still early.
Clark is still key for the WNBA’s future. Even with hard times, she pulls in lots of watchers and fans. Many think she could change women’s basketball for the better, but we shouldn’t mix in politics.
Whitlock’s words have started talks about being open, who leads, and the weight on young stars in sports. Whether the Fever’s way now is right for Clark is worth asking. But, many think what Whitlock wants says more about him than what the team needs.
