Sarah Spain Calls Christine Brennan's Caitlin Clark Column a Dereliction of Journalism

Summary
Sarah Spain said Christine Brennan's USA Today column defending Caitlin Clark was a "dereliction of duties as a journalist" in a LinkedIn video posted Monday.
Brennan had argued the WNBA must do more to protect Clark after Alyssa Thomas drove a fist into Clark's throat during a recent game, calling Clark the league's biggest draw and warning the situation could escalate.
Spain objected to Brennan's broader claim that WNBA players have shown jealousy, disdain and hatred toward Clark, saying journalists would never describe an entire league that way.
The clash extends a wider debate around Clark's treatment in the WNBA, where hard fouls and the league's response have become part of a broader media and culture-war argument.
