Quick Glance: The Caitlin Clark Impact and the Uncomfortable Truth Behind It

Caitlin Clark deserves every endorsement deal she's offered. Her influence as an influencer is based on several key factors.

Clark’s attractiveness to local companies and national corporations is heightened by the fact that she is a White woman who has dominated a sport that’s viewed as predominately Black; a straight woman who is joining a league with a sizable LGBTQ+ player population; and a person who comes from America’s heartland, where residents often feel their beliefs and values are ignored or disrespected by the geographical edges of the country.

There was a significant disparity in the competition for Caitlin Clark in the end. Nike offered 8 years / $28 million, Adidas 4 years / $6 million, Under Armour 4 years / $16 million, and Puma withdrew after hearing about $3 million.

It is a fact that brand ambassadorship at her level is not simply a commentary on someone’s athletic ability. It’s also a reflection of society’s impact on who gets the biggest bags.

Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.

With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.

Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.

reuters.com/sports/baseball/ohtani-homers-jilted-blue-jays-fans-fume-2024-04-27/

Quick Glance: Ohtani leads Dodgers to dominant win over sliding Blue Jays

Ohtani shakes off some of the loudest boos at Rogers Centre to homer in the first inning and later walk and score during a six-run third for the Los Angeles Dodgers' fifth straight win.

The Dodgers banged out 19 hits, including additional homers by Max Muncy and Will Smith, while knocking out Chris Bassitt in 2.2 innings, forcing manager John Schneider to run through five relievers before asking Isiah Kiner-Falefa to pitch the ninth.

The Blue Jays pursued the two-way superstar Ohtani intensely, but he ultimately chose the Dodgers, prompting the Blue Jays to shift their approach and focus on internal options like Addison Barger.

The Dodgers are in a league of their own in many ways, while the Blue Jays continue to work on their offense to get out of their current slump.

Despite his self-criticism, Harlan is the top announcer for the league's most recognized broadcast partner and has too many iconic moments to count.
