Linda Cohn Stokes Explosive Fan Accusations by Agreeing With Viral Caitlin Clark Theories That Team USA Is Sabotaging Her
Bernice King said Linda Cohn should retract remarks about A'ja Wilson after the ESPN veteran speculated on why the WNBA star left Team USA's roster.
- Bernice King, leader of the King Center, demanded a public apology and retraction from retired ESPN anchor Linda Cohn on Threads, calling her critique of four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson "disappointing, delusional, and dangerous."
- The dispute began when Cohn speculated on her show about why Wilson withdrew from the FIBA World Cup roster, questioning the decision despite the Las Vegas Aces reporting a lingering back issue in late August.
- Yahoo Sports reported Cohn remained unpersuaded by health concerns, noting Wilson played more than 30 minutes in six of her final seven games; critics argue this reflects broader media bias against Black stars.
- Meanwhile, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continues playing for Team USA in Berlin, where media coverage has focused heavily on her performance despite analyst claims the team missed Wilson's interior presence.
- Analyst Jason Whitlock joined broader discussions questioning whether media narratives regarding Clark and Wilson reflect racialized double binds facing Black women in professional sports and the WNBA.
