• New Docuseries Lumps Caitlin Clark In With Most Hated Figures In Sports

    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Wed Sep 23 04:30:47 2026
    VICE TV is putting Caitlin Clark in the same documentary series as some
    of the most hated figures in sports, including a convicted dogfighter,
    a domestic abuser, and athletes whose careers have repeatedly generated headlines for reasons beyond what happens on the field.

    The network has greenlit ?Everybody Hates,? an anthology docuseries
    examining athletes who have become some of the most polarizing figures
    in sports, Variety exclusively reported. The six-episode series will
    focus on a different athlete in each episode. Clark will be featured
    alongside Jake Paul, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick, Cristiano Ronaldo,
    and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    ?Rather than asking whether these athletes deserve the hate they
    receive, ?Everybody Hates? asks a different question: How did they
    become the people millions love, millions hate, and almost everyone has
    an opinion about?? VICE said in its official description.

    Clark?s episode is scheduled for November 10, putting the Indiana Fever
    star in a lineup that includes athletes whose controversies have ranged
    from contentious sports rivalries and public feuds to criminal conduct.

    The series opens October 27 with Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer whose
    rise from internet celebrity to professional fighter has made him one
    of boxing?s most recognizable and divisive personalities.

    Aaron Rodgers follows on November 3. Former teammate Tyler Fredrickson,
    former Green Bay Packers executive Andrew Brandt, and others will
    examine how Rodgers went from an NFL underdog to one of the league?s
    most contentious personalities.

    Then comes Clark. The former Iowa star became the biggest name in
    women?s basketball before even entering the WNBA as the number one
    overall pick in 2024. Her arrival generated enormous attention for the
    league, while her on-court treatment and the surrounding racial and
    cultural debate have repeatedly become subjects of national
    controversy.

    Clark was famously knocked to the floor by Chicago Sky player Chennedy
    Carter during her rookie season in an away-from-the-ball collision that
    the WNBA had to later upgrade from a common foul to a flagrant 1. More recently, Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas was suspended one game
    after landing on Clark and driving her fist into Clark?s throat during
    a loose-ball scramble. Eleven Republican members of Congress
    subsequently wrote to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert asking about
    player safety and whether attacks against Clark were racially
    motivated. Clark herself called on the league to better protect
    players.

    VICE will follow Clark with Michael Vick on November 17. Vick?s episode
    will examine the former NFL quarterback?s career and controversies
    beyond football. Vick pleaded guilty in 2007 to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge and served about 18 months in federal prison. The
    episode will feature retired college football coach and player Robert
    ?Bud? Foster and animal-rescue activist Monica Caraffa.

    Cristiano Ronaldo, who accepted a suspended prison sentence in a 2019
    Spanish tax fraud case, will be featured on November 24. Los Angeles
    Times journalist Kevin Baxter, former player Shaka Hislop, and others
    will examine the soccer superstar?s career and polarizing public image.

    The series will conclude December 1 with Floyd Mayweather Jr., the
    undefeated boxer whose enormous wealth and boxing success have been accompanied by years of controversy outside the ring, including
    pleading guilty to a reduced domestic battery charge in 2011. Former
    boxer John ?Iceman? Scully and ESPN host Crystina Poncher are among
    those appearing in the episode.

    VICE TV President Pete Gaffney said the series is intended to examine
    how athletes become cultural symbols. ?Today?s athletes are judged in
    real time, often before the full story is understood,? Gaffney said. ??Everybody Hates? looks beyond the headlines to examine how these
    figures became symbols of much larger cultural conversations.?

    --
    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    So Aaron Rogers is hated because he's unashamedly not a leftist and Clark is hated merely for being better than all the other women in the WNBA and having the gall to do it while being white.

    You're not snarking about Jake Paul, who isn't a professional athlete
    except a one-off exhibition?

    There's no reason to amplify the opinions of fat lazy slobs who don't
    know anything about sports, let alone participate. They do know how to
    complain and gain attention to their worthless opinions.

    I W/Q Vice documentaries. They really don't contribute worthwhile facts
    and analysis.

    Aaron, I can see based on the comments I see online, but Clark? The
    only people I see hating on Clark are the players from the other teams
    when she embarrasses them on the court. She focuses on playing the
    game more so than the most players like Angel Reese. Reese loves the
    attention more so than her game play, unlike Clark.

    I think the only reason Clark was included was to get the views, not
    because of anything she did or any hate for her.

    I can never figure out your position. Are you calling bullshit or not on
    the producers for lumping everyone together?

    I can't help you there as all I said somewhat in favor of this is the
    producers clearly included Clark because she's the hot topic now. Not
    because she's done anything that qualifies her as a villain. As I said
    above all I see about Clark is positive.

    Clark was taken out by an opposing player in a deliberate and
    intensional foul that could have permanently injured her. Somehow the
    opponent didn't get criticized and the refs failed to notice the obvious flagrant foul and siuspend the player.

    Yet people hate Clark.

    The documentary focuses on the athletes, but I'm count Paul as a
    one-off. Instead it might have asked, Do the critics ever have a well-considered point to make?

    Or, Is this documentary to stupid to have been produced?

    Yes, it's happened multiple times.

    Yet people hate Clark.

    You keep saying it but it's not what I see. None of the commentary and
    videos I see online are critical of Clark. It's all in support of her
    and against the refs that ignore what is done to her, the coaches that
    refuse to use her talents and the players that abuse the rules and
    blindness of the refs to attack (yeah, it's bad enough to call some of
    those moves as "attacks" ) Clark. Especially that girl on Chicago's
    team, Carrington (I think).

    The documentary focuses on the athletes, but I'm count Paul as a
    one-off. Instead it might have asked, Do the critics ever have a >well-considered point to make?

    Or, Is this documentary to stupid to have been produced?

    If it makes money (and I'm sure that's why they included Clark) is it
    really to stupid to have been produced? That's what I fear. People
    will end up watching and money gets made which leads to other people
    thinking maybe we can get on this gravy train.

    The refs suck because they are part time WNBA, full-time college, and
    for reasons I don't understand, are refusing to call flagrant fouls. The
    rules aren't that different.

    Yet people hate Clark.

    You keep saying it but it's not what I see.

    I have no knowledge that anyone hates her. It's the premise of the
    documentary.

    You have knowledge. If the producers should not have included her, then
    kindly call bullshit.
