USA Today "reporter" Nancy Armour has apologized for invoking Emmett Till in a column targeting — who else? — Caitlin Clark.
"In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till’s hometown of Chicago," Armour wrote in an apology posted Thursday on — where else? — Bluesky. "I obviously did not provide enough context for that."
For background, Armour published one of the most desperate and irresponsible sports columns of the year earlier this week, arguing that Clark's reactions to missed calls put "Black" and "queer" WNBA players "in danger."
Emmitt Tiil was 14yo in 1955 when he was tortured and later murdered for the sin of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi. Surely, Armour (who has a long history of being woke) knew the story. But she didn't mention Emmitt's name in her sports column to honor him, but to exploit Till and use him as a vessel for her sheer hatred for Caitlin Clark as well as her struggle with white guilt. Granted, Caitlin Clark is a polarizing figure and a big reason for that is because she's a straight white woman in a professional sports league that caters to lesbians. Yet, Clark's popularity is also due to the fact that she's a really good basketball player, which really, really upsets the woke crowd because that means barring a tremendous injury, she's not going away anytime soon. That said, Armour knew that she could weaponize Emmitt Till's name because most blacks in this country are liberal, she's on the 'good' side and they'll let her get away with it. So Armour's 'apology' wasn't really sincere, because using Emmitt Till as a cheap talking poimt doesn't matter when you're woke and making a bigger point about Caitlin Clark being 'evil'.
