The media is in meltdown over Caitlin Clark

In the flurry of hot takes that followed Chennedy Carter’s foul against Clark over the weekend, ESPN host Pat McAfee went on his show Monday to argue that Clark was singularly responsible for the sudden surge of WNBA popularity and therefore she should be given more respect.

But rather than admitting their blind spots, several male commentators are parachuting themselves into a sport they barely understand, covering it the only way they know how, and dismissing anyone who suggests they could do better.

Columbia University has settled with a Jewish student who sued in late April, claiming the university failed to provide a safe environment.

It’s one of the first settlements reached as the university faces lawsuits and investigations from Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and pro-Palestinian students for allegedly failing to protect them after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. This also heightened tensions on US college campuses.

In late April, a lawsuit from the anonymous student said that their education had been disrupted by a hostile environment on campus. This was when pro-Palestinian protesters put up encampments on Columbia’s lawn protesting Israel’s war in Gaza and also occupied Hamilton Hall, a building on campus.
