Caitlin Clark's younger brother, Colin, took a subtle swipe at her critics amid claims of her skin color being the reason for her success. Earlier this week, the WNBA superstar was named Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year after her stellar rookie campaign brought millions of eyes to the league.

As Clark inspired a spike in the WNBA's viewership and attendance numbers, many labeled her latest accolade a byproduct of white privilege. Amid the noise, Colin took to social media and reposted a tweet from Front Office Sports in September, highlighting the record attendance during a Fever-Mystics game.

The post happened after Washington Mystics owner Sheila Johnson appeared on CNN and amplified the white privilege comments. 'You read Time Magazine, where Caitlin Clark was named athlete of the year, why couldn't they have put the whole WNBA on that cover and said, 'The WNBA is the league of the year,' because of all the talent that we have,' Johnson said.

Caitlin Clark's younger brother Colin swiped at her critics amid noise over her 'white privilege'. Clark's brother reposted a video of his sister packing out a Fever-Mystics game in September. 'It's just the structure of the way media plays out race. I feel really bad because I've seen so many players of color that are equally as talented and they never got the recognition that they should have, and I think right now, it is time for that to happen,' she continued.
