<p>Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese caused a media frenzy after their infamous “you can’t see me” exchange in the 2023 NCAA championship game. There was a fierce debate over their perceived rivalry and it only intensified once they became the hottest prospects in the WNBA's rookie class. </p> <p> </p> <p>The media’s fixation on their so-called rivalry has been fueled by the same gender and racial bias that has haunted women’s sports for generations. And now that Clark and Reese have brought thousands of new fans to the sport, is it safe to say that this story line is what the WNBA needed? Or has it invited toxicity into a space that has always prided itself on its inclusivity and sisterhood?</p> <p> </p> <p>In this groundbreaking series, Cari Champion searches for answers from those who know Clark and Reese best – from the coaches who helped shape their game, to the players and journalists who have witnessed their meteoric rise first-hand. Champion traces the incredible parallel paths of not just these two historic talents but the WNBA itself, and sets the stage for the collision course that has brought us to this very moment. The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese is not just about two of the brightest flames the sport has ever seen, but it also asks an essential question – in a time of such divisiveness, is it possible to let greatness unite us?</p>

<p>In this episode, Cari delves into the dynamics of rivalries in sports and music, with a particular focus on the perceived rivalries between female athletes, such as Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese, and likens them to those between artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.</p> <p>If we're being honest, there’s a societal compulsion to compare women, pitting them against each other as though the real competition lies in the comparison itself rather than the sport. The ongoing narrative of placing women in opposition has proven to be a profitable story that has fueled various industries throughout history.</p> <p>We also examine women's responsibilities as public figures and emphasize authenticity's vital role in how they represent themselves.</p> <p>Cari Champion interviews <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brujacore/?hl=en">Suzy Exposito</a>, an independent journalist based in Los Angeles, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/justintinsley/?hl=en">Justin Tinsley</a>, a senior reporter with ESPN's Andscape.</p> <p>Connect: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carichampion/?hl=en">@CariChampion</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nakedwithcarichampion/">@NakedwithCariChampion</a></p> <p>Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCWUdKRAXL5021aOvXLwHwSOj7FaG2Dbf">NAKED SPORTS</a> on YouTube!</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
