“You talk about supporting and ‘protecting’ women all the time, and yet when Caitlin Clarke expresses admiration and respect for black women in the WNBA (many of whom she looks up to and idolizes). grown up), all of a sudden you’re acting like a desperate parent,” Hill wrote.
Gaines responded to Hill’s post mocking the idea of ”white privilege” in the WNBA to quick applause.
“‘White privilege’ in the WNBA is literally hilarious. Maybe you’re like Sunny Houston and think CC has great privilege, beautiful privilege, and straight-up privilege,” Gaines wrote. “There are a lot of black players in the WNBA that I love. [and] Respect too, but I don’t admire them because they are black. I admire his game. That’s the difference.”
Gaines then doubled down by re-sharing Hill’s initial post along with a screenshot of the journalist’s comments in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in May. In the article, Hill insisted that Clark’s race as a white person and sexuality as a straight woman did not factor into her popularity in the WNBA, where the majority of players are black and many are gay. They are devotees.
In the article, Hill also insisted that Clark’s popularity with these attributes was “problematic”.
“Being a professional breeder for a long time must be very tiring,” Gaines told Hill in response.
In June, Hill said that the fact that Clarke did not make the U.S. Paris Olympic women’s basketball team “was a good thing for her” and that her exclusion “wasn’t a big deal.” Hill also criticized the media for suggesting that the WNBA’s playoff rankings dropped after Clarke’s Indiana Fever first-round exit, calling the headlines “irresponsible.”
After Clark made his latest comments about taking advantage of white privilege with Time magazine, Hill made a post on X, apparently mocking the player’s fans who disagreed.
“If you’re mad about something so obvious, it means you were never a real fan of her on the WNBA, you just liked her until she hated black women and queer women. Be your avatar for,” Hill wrote on Wednesday. .
Then, after picking a fight with Gaines on the subject, Hill went so far as to make it personal.
After Gaines’ comment about Hill being a professional race bettor, Hill responded with a message mocking the former swimmer for tying with trans athlete Leah Thomas for the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championships.
“Girl, you need to thank Leah Thomas every day of your life for helping you become famous, otherwise you’d just be a decent college swimmer that no one knew. You read a book on grafting.” Wrote — not me,” Hill wrote.
Gaines’ infamous tie with Thomas in 2022 helped spark a national conversation about biological men competing as trans athletes against women and girls. Gaines quickly became nationally known due to the incident and devoted her platform to advocating for protecting female athletes from trans inclusion in competition and in locker rooms.
Gaines is also suing the NCAA, along with other female athletes, accusing the governing body of violating her Title IX rights over its policies on gender identity. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, details the shock to Gaines and other swimmers when they learned they would have to share a locker room with Thomas at the 2022 championships in Atlanta.

Additionally, Gaines declined to comment on Hill’s past slide on Thursday.
“How deeply reactionary [and] I have a man to thank for the platform I have, a complete disdain for Jemley Hill. Thank you for what? Violating us in the locker room? Stealing a national honor from a deserving woman? Indirectly taking away our 1A rights from us? Just say you hate women,” Gaines wrote in his response.
This was the last message sent in the exchange at the time of publication.
This wouldn’t be the first time Gaines has had the final say in an X debate with a left-leaning opponent.
In a September spat with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Gaines disputed the idea that Vice President Kamala Harris had done a “good job” in handling the border crisis.

Gaines also joined the representative’s viral roast session. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO CORTEZDN.Y. On Nov. 14, when it was discovered that the congresswoman removed pronouns from her X bio. Gaines made several posts blasting Ocasio-Cortez a week after she criticized Green Party vice presidential candidate Butchware for standing up against trans athletes in women’s sports.
Gaines himself took aim at Harris after Harris’ presidential candidate posted a shocking video to his supporters on social media.
