Conclusion
As Caitlyn Clark continues to make strides in women's basketball, the conversation around her success prompts a re-evaluation of how we perceive achievement in the context of race and privilege. While discussions of identity and privilege are vital, they should not overshadow the hard work, dedication, and unmatched talent that athletes like Clark bring to their sport. Public perception and support can certainly play a role in an athlete's success, but at the end of the day, numbers, skills, and achievements cannot be denied. The world of sports is improved when we celebrate talent for what it is—just talent.
