You’re Tuning into Black and White Sports on YouTube: The No Holds Bar Truth on Sports

The Main Event Starts Now.

All right, Black and White Sports supporters, let’s dive into the latest drama. The Cheryl Swoopes and Caitlin Clark saga has officially hit a nuclear level. In case you missed it, the recent game between the Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings stirred up more than just on-court action. Nancy Lieberman was on the call, and the mystery man with her was fantastic. Caitlin Clark led the Fever to victory over the Wings, but something more significant was brewing behind the scenes.

As some of you may know, I posted a video before the game, stating Cheryl Swoopes was supposed to be part of that broadcast. Whether she was going to call the game or work as a sideline reporter, we’re not sure, but the truth is now out—Cheryl Swoopes can’t stand Caitlin Clark. She’s made it known on multiple podcasts, notably Gilbert Arenas’s, where she praised the Indiana Fever but conveniently left out any mention of Caitlin Clark.

The situation escalated to the point that Cheryl Swoopes was pulled from the broadcast. Nancy Lieberman replaced her and didn’t hold back during the game, stating that Caitlin Clark’s impact on women’s basketball is monumental. Lieberman even remarked that Clark is going to make a lot of women multi-millionaires, just like Tiger Woods did for golf and Michael Jordan did for basketball. Lieberman called for celebrating Clark, not being jealous of her success. Unfortunately, Cheryl Swoopes didn’t get the memo.

Swoopes is facing heavy backlash for her comments, especially after Stephen A. Smith invited Lieberman onto his podcast, where it was confirmed that Swoopes was originally scheduled to call the game but was pulled due to her inability to remain professional about Clark’s performance.

And here’s where it gets even messier: Swoopes, a former basketball icon herself, decided to leak her private DMs with Caitlin Clark. In these DMs, Swoopes apologized for previously making false claims about Clark needing “five seasons to reach the most points in NCAA history” and accused her of taking 50 shots per game, a flat-out lie. Clark, in response, handled the situation with grace, thanking Swoopes for her contributions to women’s basketball and expressing no hard feelings.

Now, leaking private messages is about as low as it gets. It’s not just unprofessional; it’s a betrayal, and Swoopes has crossed a line that’s hard to come back from. Caitlin Clark, in her rookie year, is already outperforming Swoopes’ MVP season. That’s the reality. And whether it’s jealousy or something deeper, Swoopes seems unable to come to terms with Clark’s rise to stardom.

As this drama unfolds, we have to question why Swoopes is letting personal feelings get in the way of her job as a commentator. The fact that she was pulled from the broadcast speaks volumes. And her decision to leak private DMs? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

We’ll continue to follow this situation, but for now, it’s clear Cheryl Swoopes’ actions have backfired. And as Caitlin Clark continues to shine, the jealousy and pettiness from the old guard in women’s basketball become more glaring.
