*Shannon Sharpe has clapped back at accusations that he is anti-Black after responding to allegations that he seems to only defend non-Black WNBA players.
Most recently, he caught backlash for hurling a “horse hair” insult at a user on social media. The backlash began Wednesday (Sept. 25) when Sharpe was called out for supporting Caitlin Clark more than the rest of the league, Vibe reports.
“My issue is @ShannonSharpe never speaks on the disrespect the rest of the women of the W experienced,” wrote @SpikeTeeJoint on X Tuesday morning.
“That’s your issue not mine. I have no issue with anything I’ve said in regards 2 WNBA and its players past or present,” responded Sharpe.
Another user, @ungodlywests, criticized the former NFL player for failing to recognize his apparent bias.

“Why are you on my page?” Sharpe replied. “Don’t you have another horse 2 rob of his hair? Stop trying 2 kill my vibe.”
Other users referred to Shannon as an “anti-Black” and a “coon.”
“What’s even more anti black is the ish y’all say 2 black ppl you don’t even know. I don’t go on ppl tl and talk reckless but some of y’all do and when the response isn’t what you hoped 4. You’re anti black, buck dancing. Get what you give,” Sharpe said.
Sharpe ultimately capped the conversation by saying he going to take the high road moving forward. writing, “Sept 25 2024 at 6:06 pm. I will no longer respond 2 any negativity. It’s not the serious 4 me. I’ve got kids and I would upset with them IF* they responded in this manner. This is beneath me. Y’all pray 4 me tho.”
