= WSJ OPINION Ms. Clark's targeting may reflect a culture of disparate treatment, and the evidence provides reasonable cause for a federal probe into potential civil-rights violations. This would mirror the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation into Dearica Hamby's pregnancy discrimination claims against the WNBA and her team. Congress and the Labor and Justice departments would be justified in examining the facts. At Harvard and Columbia during antisemitic protests, institutional leaders played down threats and failed to protect students. Congress and the Trump administration demanded answers. Columbia's recent $221 million settlement for civil-rights violations shows the effect of such scrutiny.
Conservatives care about womenβs sports in exactly two scenarios: Riley Gaines getting her ass beat, and seeing refs miss a jersey pull while Caitlin Clark is running around a screen

I think it's because women's hoop (particularly NCAA) really blew up in popularity post-COVID and post-NIL because the stars were able to massively expand their reach via social media (mostly IG)

Is it because they were in the Pacific Northwest instead of the Great Plains?
