Dave Portnoy defends Caitlin Clark against Megyn Kelly's remarks

On August 4, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy expressed strong support for WNBA player Caitlin Clark after conservative host Megyn Kelly criticized her response to issues regarding transgender athletes in sports. Clark had said during a media session that such discussions were not prevalent in her team's locker room and should be addressed by leagues and governing bodies instead. Portnoy condemned Kelly's label of Clark as a 'coward' for not speaking out on the matter, stating that she does not owe anyone a political stance. Kelly responded by arguing about the seriousness of the problem, referencing estimates of transgender athletes at the high school level and calling for a more civil discussion.
