Yes, famously. Speaking of Jackie I had this thought experiment. Is what Caitlin Clark is experiencing have some semblance to Jackie in the 40's? Not the same degree since there are others like her in the sport. But the racism she experiences from the WNBA and media writ large in their given bubble. Which is tiny compared to how important baseball was in the US in the 40's. But there is more media now, even if much much less interest. A modern pocket version.
She's apparently struggling, on a bad team. From the clips it looks like each team throws the biggest, ugliest, hairiest athlete(possibly men) to blanket her all game all over the court. There's the obvious jealousy within the game, which is mirrored by much of its media. There's a level of harassment that rings of envy and racism.
