“OutKick Analyst Refuses to Bow to Intimidation: Standing Firm Against Death Threat from LSU Fan Over Caitlin Clark Opinion”

As faithful followers of OutKick are well aware, I recently found myself at the receiving end of a deeply disturbing and unsettling death threat from a fan of LSU. What triggered such a violent reaction, you might ask? Simply my expression of a viewpoint regarding Caitlin Clark that evidently didn’t sit well with this individual. I made a comparison, asserting that Caitlin Clark represented a superior role model when compared to members of Kim Mulkey’s team. Now, reasonable minds can differ on such matters, and healthy debate is a cornerstone of any vibrant community. However, what ensued was far from healthy or reasonable.

The threatening message I received was not only shocking but also deeply troubling. To receive such a response for simply sharing an opinion is not only unwarranted but also unacceptable. Yet, in the face of this intimidation tactic, I refuse to be cowed.

This incident quickly escalated into national news, capturing attention not only across the United States but also from concerned individuals around the world. The outpouring of support has been both humbling and heartening, reaffirming my belief in the importance of standing up against such acts of intimidation and violence.
