Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman critiques NIL landscape, transfer rules and Lane Kiffin’s LSU move
For the past couple of decades, former NFL star quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman has shared his thoughts on what he’s seen during whichever game he and his longtime broadcast partner are calling.
The three-time Super Bowl winner is currently part of the "Monday Night Football" broadcast crew. Aikman has routinely given his take on a variety of football-related topics, from the state of NFL officiating to college football.
Some of Aikman’s latest thoughts about the college game centered on the growing number of players who have taken advantage of the transfer portal in today’s polarizing NIL landscape.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and many others have referred to the state of today's sport at the collegiate level as the "Wild West."

"College football has become the Wild West, as everybody knows. Forget about Lane Kiffin for a minute, but starting with NIL, there just has been no guardrails. I’m on the National Football Foundation Board, so I hear firsthand from a lot of the commissioners and athletic directors and the people involved in all of that. It’s gotta get cleaned up, first and foremost," Aikman told The Athletic.
When asked about student-athletes’ mobility in today’s world, Aikman reflected on his personal choices during his time competing at the NCAA level.
"I was a transfer. I went from Oklahoma to UCLA, and I’ve always felt that if a coach is able to pick up and leave, that a player should have the same opportunity if a coach leaves," he continued.
"What’s happened obviously over the years since I got out of college football is that in recent years with NIL, there’s been no accountability on the players," Aikman continued. "So the players pick up and now they’re leaving all the time whereas before it was typically the coach. The player used to have to sit out a year. Now, the players can up and go regardless of whether or not they’ve been paid. It’s every man for himself."
Aikman then dived into another college football hot topic – Lane Kiffin’s decision to leave Ole Miss in favor of LSU. The NFL analyst gave his best guess on what fueled Kiffin to make the leap.
"Lane Kiffin’s motivation? Is it his thoughts that it’s a better opportunity for him at LSU? Possibly. Is it money? Possibly. Is it lifestyle? Possibly. I can’t answer any of those questions."
"But whatever his motivation is, he feels like LSU is the right place for him. So I don’t fault him for that at all. I know there’s always hard feelings. Ole Miss did not want to lose Lane Kiffin," he said. "Once he made the decision to leave, now he’s a pariah. Let’s get this guy just as far away from us as we can. I understand that as well. Everybody gets a little bit jaded."
Aikman concluded that those in positions of power should ultimately take charge and focus on getting things in order. "Where I’m at is I think there’s gotta be some leadership at the very top that kind of cleans all of this up. Starting with players that accept money, there’s gotta be some accountability and responsibility on their behalf to have to stick with a program. I gave money to a kid. I won’t mention who. I’ve done it one time at UCLA. Never met the young man. He was there a year, he left after the year. I wrote a sizable check, and he went to another school. I didn’t even get so much as a thank you note."
Aikman is scheduled to be on the call for a Week 15 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins on Dec. 15.

Michigan parent wants Trump to act after daughter shares locker room with trans-athlete
A parent of a female volleyball player on Monday urged the Trump administration to get involved after a trans athlete shared a locker room with and competed against his daughter in volleyball in a Michigan high school.
"It’s simple, women play women’s sports," Sean Lechner said in front of a crowd at the press conference on a cold December afternoon.
Sean was joined by his daughter, Briley Lechner, a middle on Monroe High School’s volleyball team, and several other Republican elected officials and political candidates at a podium near city hall to announce a complaint filed with federal authorities.
The complaint addressed players on the Monroe High School volleyball team, including Briley, being forced to compete against and "undress" in the same locker room as a biological male.
Fox News Digital obtained a copy of Sean's official complaint, filed with the Department of Education on Dec. 5, 2025, stating that "parents must have confidence that school administrators prioritize the safety, privacy, equitable treatment, and fairness of female athletes." The complaint was also filed with the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA), and Monroe Public Schools. The Michigan Department of Education told OutKick that it "received the complaint and is reviewing it."
The complaint stated that the students were not aware that they would be sharing a locker room with a transgender athlete.
According to the complaint, "The presence of a male in the girls’ locker room was not disclosed prior to the match, constituting a violation of privacy and bodily integrity protections under Title IX."
The Department of Education is investigating several schools across the country for Title IX violations related to transgender athletes but none of those investigations involve schools in Michigan. Lechner filed the complaint with hopes to change that.
Lechner's remarks during the press conference called out Ann Arbor Skyline High School for rostering a biological male athlete on the girls' high school volleyball team, "placing female athletes in danger and subjecting them to a loss of privacy, safety, and dignity."
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOLS AT ODDS AFTER ALLEGED TRANS ATHLETE DISPLACES FEMALE IN CROSS-COUNTRY TOP 10
The Skyline girls volleyball team had the trans athlete in its starting lineup and ended up reaching the Michigan Division 1 state quarterfinals. The athlete earned First Team All-Conference honors.
Under MHSAA guidelines, a transgender athlete who was born male and wants to compete in a high school girls’ team needs to apply for and receive a waiver. The MHSAA confirmed to Fox News Digital that it granted one waiver for eligibility under their transgender student policy, statewide, for the 2025-26 fall sports season.
"We have not and cannot say for which school, or sport, as that would be identifying information, and disregard student privacy laws. The waiver was granted in compliance with applicable state and federal law. The MHSAA is obligated to follow both, even as state law and federal guidance have evolved in recent years, often in competing ways," an MHSAA spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Laura Perry, a candidate running for Michigan's 31st State House District, said that the waiver process "must be eliminated because it directly conflicts with federal law."
Perry told reporters that they are calling on the U.S. Department of Education and the Trump administration to "act swiftly in this manner."
"Women's sports must be separated by biological sex. Federal executive order is being ignored," Perry said.
"One waiver in Michigan, one displaced female athlete on a varsity roster or a starting lineup, one player of the match taken by a biological male, and one team advancing to the elite eight in the MHSAA tournament because of a male is one too many," Perry added.
"When we found out weeks after that there was another male in the same locker room as us, as we were changing and also playing against us, it caught everyone off guard," Briley said at the podium when asked how she felt about the incident by another reporter. "That would have been the last thought because as I was looking at this person, admiring how amazing they were, admiring how high they could jump, I was kind of getting down to myself, like I wonder why I'm not capable of that."
MHSAA told Fox News Digital that they had conversations with members of the Michigan legislature throughout the fall about this issue.
"From those conversations, we know elected leaders from both parties recognize that the current issues surrounding eligibility and participation of transgender students remain subject to ongoing legal debate. The MHSAA has consistently emphasized that it must follow the law, and when conflicts in law arise, the MHSAA must rely upon the legislature or the courts to provide clarity," the MHSAA spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Education, Michigan Department of Education, and Monroe Public Schools did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Candace Cameron Bure admits surprising parenting regret from her decade as a stay-at-home mom
Candace Cameron Bure is reflecting on what she regrets about her decade-long hiatus from acting.
After her hit sitcom "Full House" ended, Bure, 49, mostly stepped away from the entertainment industry to focus on raising her three children and supporting her husband's professional hockey career. On the Tuesday episode of "The Candace Cameron Bure" podcast, Bure opened up about what she wishes she had done differently during that period of time.
"That break from acting and staying home for my kids was a refining season for me. And I grew to love it, but I can even look back in that season, and I wish I could have some do-overs in that — because even though my life was slower and was less hurried, my mind wasn't always in it," the actress admitted.
"It wasn't always present," Bure continued. "I grew so much, but I really felt like I missed out on certain things with my kids. Because even if I was at hockey practice with them, or even when I was in the classroom as the craft mom for that week, my mind wasn't there."
"And I feel I can look back and I feel bad about that," she added. "I wish I could have enjoyed those moments more and sat in it, but my mind was often future-thinking, going, ‘Well, what else is next? What am I going to do?’"
Bure rose to fame at the age of 11 when she landed the role of D.J. Tanner in the hit sitcom "Full House," which ran from 1987 to 1995. In 1996, she married Russian American NHL hockey player Valeri "Val" Bure. Bure gave birth to their first child, daughter Natasha, in 1998. The couple later welcomed sons Lev and Maksim in 2000 and 2002.
After Bure and Val started their family, the actress began taking on fewer acting projects, appearing sporadically in television guest roles and TV movies.
CANDACE CAMERON BURE REFUSES TO LET CANCEL CULTURE TAKE HER DOWN DESPITE INDUSTRY BACKLASH
During a June 2024 appearance on her "Full House" co-star Dave Coulier's podcast "Full House Rewind," Bure explained why she made the decision to prioritize her family life over her career. The Hallmark Channel star recalled that at the time, her family frequently moved from city to city while Val was playing in the NFL.
Val's NHL career spanned ten seasons from 1995 to 2004 during which he played for several teams including the Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues, and Dallas Stars.
"Some of it’s a blur, but that’s when I took time off from acting," she said. "Like, I didn’t act for 10 years. That’s once I had my kids, I was like, ‘OK, I’m a full-time mom and supporting my husband’s career, to go to games and cheer him on.’

"You just do it," Bure said. "All the ladies, we just do it."
Coulier told Bure that he had been unsure whether she would ever make a full-time return to acting.
"I was like, 'Oh, Candace has a really nice life, she's got three really nice kids and a husband,' but you came back. What brought you back?" he asked.

Bure explained that she was drawn back to acting due to the positive experiences that she had while working with her "Full House" family, including her co-stars Coulier, Bob Saget and John Stamos as well as the show's creator, Jeff Franklin.
"Truthfully, I’ve loved the industry, and I credit you, Bob, John and Jeff Franklin," she said. "Hundreds of other people, who were our ‘Full House’ family – but you guys gave us the best experience."

Bure explained that she felt lucky, noting that many other child stars left Hollywood behind after enduring damaging or traumatic environments.
"I know there’s tons of horror stories out there, and I am so empathetic and feel for everyone that has had a bad experience," she said. "Like, it breaks my heart. However, I am so grateful and blessed that those aren’t our stories, and it made me want to stay in the business."

Bure continued, "So, I took a break because I wanted to raise my kids. But I always had the desire that if the doors would open again when it felt like the right time to come back, that I would."
While appearing on the "New World Old Soul" podcast in October 2024, Bure reflected on how she had deepened her faith during her years away from the industry.
"I’m just so grateful for that time that I stayed home and was with the kids and could really focus on them and also my relationship with God because that’s where I grew tremendously in my faith," she said. "It was just a big transition moment."
She continued, "It took me a good two or three years to really dig into God’s word, to really pray over it every day, to listen to God and be like, ‘Oh, this is a season of my life, and God has called me to motherhood for this season.'"
Jim Caviezel starring in Bolsonaro biopic as son of jailed former president launches 2026 campaign
A biopic about Brazil’s jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro is in production, his son Carlos has confirmed.
In a post shared on X after his brother, Flavio, entered the country's 2026 presidential race, Carlos lavished praise on American actor Jim Caviezel, who stars as the ex-president in the film.
"Jim Caviezel, thank you for everything," Carlos wrote, describing the "Passion of the Christ" actor as a figure whose legacy would be "admired by good people and envied by those who seek destruction."
RUBIO WARNS BRAZIL OF US RESPONSE AFTER BOLSONARO'S CONVICTION FOR PLOTTING A COUP
Carlos added that working with Caviezel had given him "one of the greatest gifts" of his life, before closing with, "God, Jesus and Freedom."
Caviezel has been linked to far-right conspiracy circles in the U.S. and has drawn scrutiny over the political messaging in some of his roles.
He also famously starred as Jesus in Mel Gibson’s "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Sound of Freedom."
According to The Guardian, the biopic, "Dark Horse," presents a heroic vision of Jair Bolsonaro and is based on Bolsonaro's successful 2018 campaign for the presidency.

It is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and written by former Bolsonaro Culture Secretary Mário Frias.
Jair Bolsonaro remains in prison after receiving a 27-year sentence for attempting to overturn the 2022 election results.
Authorities said he orchestrated a plot to invalidate President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s victory, leading to his imprisonment in September.
In addition to his sentence, a separate ruling has barred him from holding office until 2030, effectively ending his political career.
TRUMP, BRAZIL’S LULA MOVE TO MEND FENCES AFTER TRADE CLASH, JUDICIAL FIRESTORM WITH ‘FRIENDLY’ CALL
From prison, the former president issued a rare public endorsement naming Flávio as his preferred successor.
According to The Associated Press, Flávio, 44, has confirmed through his Senate office that he will run in the October 2026 presidential election against the candidate of the Liberal Party.
Flávio, who is the eldest of the brothers, described his decision to run as "irreversible," setting up a direct challenge to President Lula, who is seeking a fourth nonconsecutive term.
"It is with great responsibility that I confirm the decision of Brazil’s greatest political and moral leader, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, to entrust me with the mission of continuing our national project," Flávio wrote on X.

New report reveals federal spending per person has ballooned by nearly 10,000% since 1916
FIRST ON FOX: Although the federal government’s spending on citizens has never been greater, Americans continue to feel the burden of an affordability crisis.
Conservative fiscal watchdog group Open The Books, which keeps track of various metrics on government growth and spending, identified in their latest report that, since 1916, per capita government spending, or how much money the government spends on average per person in the United States, is 9,800% bigger.
In 1916, the government spent an average of $208.36 per person in today's dollars, according to Open The Books. Since then, the fiscal watchdog group says the trend line has gone up "almost uninterrupted" and the current per capita spending by the federal government sits at $20,474.19.
Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan government agency that provides economic and budgetary analyses, found that in Fiscal Year 2025 the federal government spent a record $7.035 trillion.
WHITE HOUSE TURNS UP HEAT ON BIDEN’S ECONOMIC RECORD AS VOTERS SOUR ON ‘AFFORDABILITY’
"While American families and businesses find a way to do more with less, government does less with more," Open The Books CEO John Hart told Fox News Digital. "Today's federal government is 98 times bigger per person than it was just over a century ago. The best affordability and stimulus program imaginable is to reduce the waste, fraud and central planning in government. Every dollar saved in Washington is a dream realized somewhere in America."
The government's per capita spending level equals about $82,000 for a family of four. In their report outlining their findings, the group pointed out that this is virtually just as much as the median household income in 2024, which was $83,730.
Open The Books also notes that, according to national averages for how much people spend annually on their mortgages and groceries, the government's per capita spending eclipses the average spending on these two basic needs. According to Open The Books, the Department of Agriculture recommends spending between $12,000 and $20,000 annually on groceries for a family of four, while the average mortgage payment in 2025 is just under $28,000, according to Rocket Mortgage.
AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HAD ACCESS TO MORE LUXURIES, BUT WHY DO WE FEEL SO POOR?
During the early part of Donald Trump's first term, as Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) began to take shape, Open The Books also worked to keep track of all the savings that the Musk-led group created. Ultimately, DOGE's cuts were but a drop in the bucket compared to how much the government forks over each year in mandatory spending for programs like Medicare and Social Security, Open The Books found.
While DOGE helped scoop up discretionary spending savings totaling approximately $150 billion, and congressional Republicans' passed a July rescission package saving around $9 billion, spending for Medicare in 2024 totaled around $912 billion, while Social Security got $1.5 trillion.
Meanwhile, another recent report from Open The Books illustrated how government spending has increased at a much faster rate than it has grown. For example, staffing levels at the Department of Education have decreased since 2000, but the agency's spending has grown by 749%, according to Open The Books.
"Much of the spending growth is now predestined as Americans are forced to service an extraordinary national debt. But taxpayers should also scrutinize all aspects of federal spending," Open The Books wrote in their per-capita spending report.
"Has quality of life, affordability, or innovation improved along with per capita spending? Aside from interest, what else is the government buying that it wasn’t before, back when we were building ourselves into a global superpower? Open the Books will spend 2026 continuing to expose waste, fraud and abuse wherever it exists and pushing for real-time transparency for taxpayers. Put simply, they deserve more bang for their buck."
Democrats end 30-year losing streak in Miami as Trump-backed candidate falls short
It took nearly 30 years, but Democrats finally broke their decades-long ballot box losing streak in Miami, Florida, the city known as the nation's "Gateway to Latin America."
Democrat Eileen Higgins, a former county commissioner, defeated Republican Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager, in Tuesday's Miami's mayoral runoff election, according to the Associated Press.
While the election was technically nonpartisan, the ballot box face-off became the latest showdown this year between Democrats and Republicans, with both parties pouring in resources and the race grabbing plenty of national attention.
President Donald Trump endorsed Gonzalez and this past weekend took to social media to emphasize that Miami's mayoral election "is a big and important race!!! Vote for Republican Gonzalez."
WHY MIAMI, FLORIDA IS IN THE NATION'S POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT
Meanwhile, the Republican Party of Florida poured in resources to boost Gonzalez.
But Democrats, energized by last month's decisive 2025 election victories and by last week's double-digit overperformance in a special election in a red-leaning congressional district in Tennessee, aimed for a victory in Miami.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and allied groups invested in the race.
DNC Chair Ken Martin told Fox News Digital that, following last week's "historic overperformance in Tennessee and the record Democratic momentum across the country this year," the DNC is now "laser focused" on Miami's mayoral runoff.
Martin added that the DNC was "all-in" for Higgins.
Florida was once the largest of the general election battleground states but has shifted dramatically to the right over the past decade.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won re-election by nearly 20 points in 2022, and Trump carried the state by 13 points in last year's presidential election victory.
But Miami remains a rare blue oasis in the Sunshine State. Trump narrowly lost the city in last year's presidential election, although the president won the wider Miami-Dade County by 11 points.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 2025 ELECTIONS
Higgins, a mechanical engineer and former Peace Corps director in Belize, focused on the issue of affordability and of making local government work better and faster during her campaign.
González, a veteran and senior advisor at an asset management firm, spotlighted the fight against overdevelopment and called for the elimination of property taxes for primary homes as he bid for mayor.
Higgins captured 36% of the vote in the Nov. 4 election, with González coming in second at 19%, in the multi-candidate field. With no candidate topping 50%, the contest headed to Tuesday's runoff.
Higgins will succeed term-limited Republican Mayor Francis Suarez, who grabbed national attention two years ago as he briefly and unsuccessfully ran for the GOP presidential nomination.
Lane Kiffin lets four LSU assistants return to Ole Miss for College Football Playoff run against Tulane
Lane Kiffin is already putting together his coaching staff at LSU, but four of his current assistants that left Ole Miss to join him in Baton Rouge are reportedly heading back to Oxford.
The Rebels, after finishing the year 11-1 with Kiffin as head coach, are in the College Football Playoff, which begins next weekend.
As a result, the LSU assistants are joining offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. at Ole Miss to help him and new coach Pete Golding prepare for the team’s first round matchup against the Tulane Green Wave, per ESPN.

Tight ends coach Joe Cox, wide receivers coach George McDonald, assistant quarterbacks coach Dane Stevens and slot wide receivers coach Sawyer Jordan arrived at the Ole Miss campus on Monday, according to the report.
Kiffin ultimately allowed the coaches to head back to Oxford to help "the staff and players maximize the opportunity ahead in the playoff appearance," which is the Rebels’ first since the CFP was founded.
Weis was also someone Kiffin allowed to return to Oxford after the latter made the decision to take over as the Tigers’ next head coach following the departure of Brian Kelly midseason.
It’s a familiar foe for the Rebels, as they faced Tulane earlier this season in a 45-10 rout on Sept. 20.
The divorce between Kiffin and Ole Miss hasn’t been the most amicable, though, as Rebels athletic director Keith Carter disputed several claims that Kiffin made about being barred from coaching Ole Miss in the CFP.
"A lot of things publicly that I’m not sure are totally accurate," Carter told SuperTalk Mississippi.
Carter did say that Kiffin and his representatives were given several weeks’ notice that coaching Ole Miss in any potential playoff games was a nonstarter.
Kiffin said in his farewell message to the Rebels that he asked to "complete a historic six-season run with this year’s team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs," but Carter denied it "despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching."
But one of Kiffin’s players refuted that claim as well. Offensive lineman Brycen Sanders quickly went to X after seeing Kiffin’s statement.
"I think that everyone that was in that room would disagree," Sanders posted.

49ers face civil rights complaint over alleged sex and race-based hiring practices
The law firm America First Legal (AFL) filed a civil rights complaint against the San Francisco 49ers with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for alleged discriminatory hiring practices.
The complaint, filed Tuesday, accuses the organization of engaging in "unlawful, race- and sex-based hiring and employment practices under the banner of ‘DEI.’"
The complaint points out alleged demographic-targeted hiring pipelines, race-restricted employee resource groups and participation in minority-only coaching fellowships, arguing that the practices violate Title VII.

"Sports are supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy where talent, skill and preparation determine success. The 49ers have abandoned that tradition, relying on race and sex instead of merit to decide winners and losers," AFL lawyer Will Scolinos told Fox News Digital.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY HIT WITH FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT OVER ALLEGED DISCRIMINATORY DEI PRACTICES
Fox News Digital has reached out to the 49ers for comment.
AFL filed a similar complaint against the Los Angeles Dodgers over its hiring practices.
AFL’s Dodgers complaint claims the team and its ownership group Guggenheim Partners’ employment practices are discriminatory because "even when using inclusive terminology," it is used "to segregate or classify employees or applicants for employment in ways that would deprive, or tend to deprive individuals of employment, training, or promotions because of their race, color, sex, or national origin."
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed executive orders aimed at rolling back DEI initiatives, including one with directives for federal agencies to combat DEI in the private sector.

Plane crash-lands on top of Toyota on Florida freeway following engine trouble
A small plane landed on a Florida freeway Monday night, striking at least one vehicle, authorities said.
The fixed-wing Beechcraft 55 was attempting to make an emergency landing on Interstate-95 in Merritt Island around 5:45 p.m. after reporting engine trouble, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital.
THE WORLD'S FIRST FLYING CAR IS READY FOR TAKEOFF
The plane collided with a 2023 Toyota Camry, Fox Orlando reported.
The pilot and a passenger in the aircraft, a man from Orlando and another from Temple Terrace, both 27, weren't injured.
The 57-year-old woman driving the Camry was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Video footage posted online shows the plane attempting to land on the freeway as the Camry was traveling.
The aircraft appears to land on top of the vehicle before skidding in front of the vehicle onto the road.
WNBA star claims league's history was 'erased for a minute' amid Caitlin Clark's rise in popularity
WNBA star A’ja Wilson has been quick to push back on the reasons the league has gained in popularity over the last two years and the narrative that Caitlin Clark is the major driver.
The Indiana Fever star has certainly helped expand the WNBA’s popularity since she entered the league in 2024.
The Fever’s regular-season game against the Chicago Sky in May drew an average of 2.7 million viewers for the most watched regular-season game in history. There’s no denying that Clark has played a huge role in those numbers.

In an interview with Time magazine after being named the outlet’s player of the year, Wilson said she believed the history of the WNBA was being "erased for a minute" in the midst of Clark’s emergence.
"It wasn’t a hit at me because I’m going to do me regardless," Wilson said. "I’m going to win this MVP. I’ll win a gold medal. Y’all can’t shake my resume. It was more so, let’s not lose the recipe. Let’s not lose the history. It was erased for a minute. And I don’t like that. Because we have tons of women that have been through the grimiest of grimy things to get the league where it is today."
The Las Vegas Aces center has made her thoughts about Clark clear.
Wilson, in an interview with The Associated Press in 2024, agreed there was a race element to the sharpshooter’s popularity.
"I think it’s a huge thing. I think a lot of people may say it’s not about Black and White, but to me, it is," Wilson said. "It really is because you can be top-notch at what you are as a Black woman, but yet maybe that’s something that people don’t want to see.
ACES STAR A'JA WILSON MAKES WNBA HISTORY AFTER WINNING 4TH MVP AWARD
"They don’t see it as marketable, so it doesn’t matter how hard I work. It doesn’t matter what we all do as Black women, we’re still going to be swept underneath the rug. That’s why it boils my blood when people say it’s not about race because it is."
She then broached the subject of a racial double standard in a separate interview with Time earlier this year. She spoke about Clark talking about the supposed "privilege" she benefits from.
"I know [Clark] got a lot of backlash from that because, obviously, we live in a world where they don't want that, and it's exhausting," Wilson said in February. "But imagine dealing with that and then having to go out and play every single night, having to constantly have to worry, ‘How are they about to downgrade my résumé now? What more do I have to do in order to showcase how elite and how serious I take my job?' But I also do it with love and passion and fun.
"A lot of people don't want to see me at the top, and that's fine, but I'm gonna be there because I worked my butt off to get there."
