Claim: “Caitlin Clark declines $1 million offer from ABC to appear on ‘The View.’” (Facebook posts, 2024-08-05)
Evidence (2024-08-09): In a surprising turn of events, basketball star Caitlin Clark has turned down a substantial offer from ABC to make an appearance on their popular daytime talk show, "The View." The network reportedly extended a $1 million offer to Clark to feature as a guest on an upcoming episode. Despite the lucrative proposal, Clark chose to decline the opportunity. [...] Clark, who has gained significant attention for her outstanding performance on the court, has often been in the public eye for her athletic achievements and charismatic presence. However, her reluctance to appear on "The View" seems to stem from her personal preference rather than any specific grievance against the show. "The View," known for its engaging discussions on current events, pop culture, and hot-button issues, often features high-profile guests and celebrities. The show has a long history of hosting influential figures, and an appearance by someone of Clark’s caliber would have undoubtedly drawn considerable viewership.

No other media outlet has reported about it, and the sources shared on Facebook and other social media sites aren't credible. The rumor originated from a website called America's Last Line of Defense (ALLOD).

The story appears to have originated on the website esspots.com, which wrote: In a surprising and highly controversial move, rising basketball star Caitlin Clark has turned down a lucrative $400 million endorsement deal with sports giant Nike.

In a segment titled "Caitlin Clark Popularity Leads To Questions of Race & Sexuality," the show’s hosts discussed Clark’s collegiate career, during which she shattered several major records. Host Whoopi Goldberg informed viewers Clark had earned her place in the WNBA unlike some Ivy League students who "only got in because [they're] Black." [...] Continuing, Hostin noted Clark stands out among other WNBA players because of her appearance.

Evidence (2024-04-11): Given the year Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has been having—perhaps you’ve heard of her—it’s little wonder that Disney is all but sold out of in-game inventory as it heads into the women’s tourney. Clark, who earlier this month broke "Pistol" Pete Maravich’s all-time NCAA scoring record, is officially the most well-known college basketball player in the country, according to a new Seton Hall Sports Poll. Among sports-media circles, some pundits are now convinced that the women’s bracket will outdraw the men’s event—although that scenario is only likely to play out if Iowa can book a return ticket to the final. Currently listed at +550 odds for winning the whole thing, Clark & Co. are Vegas’ second favorite contender behind an undefeated South Carolina squad (-140). The intrigue around Clark—and a possible Elite Eight run-in with Iowa’s nemeses from Baton Rouge—has helped boost pricing and dollar volume. Buyers surveyed said they wouldn’t be surprised if Disney generated more than $25 million in ad sales revenue this time around, although hype is only part of what’s been driving a very brisk business. The sheer volume of first-time advertisers is a function of the growth of women’s hoops, as a roster of 42 newcomers has signed on. Among the clients taking their first plunge into the tourney are Google, Adidas, Home Depot and Honda.

Evidence (2024-03-15): Major broadcasters, eager to acquire live sports content to attract viewers and advertisers, are making significant investments in live rights and enhancing the quality of coverage around major events. This commitment is helping boost women’s sport viewership even further, as demonstrated by the growth in ESPN’s regular season figures. Indeed, ESPN has achieved these ratings despite not having any rights to the Big Ten conference, which features Iowa star Caitlin Clark. ESPN will expect bumper figures for the upcoming National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) women’s March Madness tournament – which will feature Clark in her final championship before joining the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) next season.

Evidence (2024-04-16): The NBA and WNBA are jointly negotiating an extension of their current media-rights deals with the Walt Disney Co.’s ABC and ESPN. But the WNBA’s media rights are rising in value as Iowa’s Caitlin Clark prepares to join the league—and women’s sports reach new levels of popularity. [...] "You can’t miss all of the attention the 2024 [NCAA] women’s championship is receiving and ESPN’s strong ad sales efforts against it. All of this inures to the benefit of the WNBA’s media rights," says the former ESPN executive turned founder of Kosner Media. "Caitlin Clark is that most unusual athlete who brings fans to the sport for the first time. Far more people will tune in to the WNBA this summer, and they’ll discover the wealth of talent in the women’s game." [...] "The No. 1 driver of [TV] ratings points right now happens to be Caitlin Clark," Orender tells FOS. "And her first game in the WNBA will be this spring. Her fans are going to follow. The WNBA’s fans continue to grow. It’s that convergence point that’s really moving things forward."

Evidence (2024-08-03): Looking at the number of followers Caitlin Clark has brought into the WNBA, she surely is a superstar. Her opinion is often sought by media outlets on various things. Most recently, Clark was invited to be a part of the famous chat show The View, and if the reports are to be believed, Clark declined the $1 Million Offer. While there is a lot of buzz in the mainstream media about this, fans feel it is a loss for the popular show instead of Clark. The Fever guard’s impact can be understood from the fact that the Los Angeles Sparks star Chiney Ogwumike recently named her as the "most impactful player." [...] What were The View’s host’s comments on Caitlin Clark? [...] One would hope that Clark wouldn’t have been affected by those remarks. And now that she has declined the offer from ABC, maybe she can appear in some other chat show for her fans. As for Ogwumike, she is sure that Clark is the most impactful player in a generation and that shows not only on the court but also off it.

[...] Clark is arguably the highest-profile WNBA player of all time after her standout career at Iowa made her a sensation. [...] "Now, Caitlin Clark is bringing this money, these sponsorships, we hope, into the league and other players will benefit from it. But I do think that she is more relatable to more people because she’s White, because she’s attractive, and unfortunately, there still is that stigma against the LGBTQ+ community. Seventy percent of the WNBA is Black. A third of the players are in the LGBTQ+ community, and we have to do something about that stigma in this country," she said last month.
Claim: “Individuals released from incarceration are 129 times more likely to die of a drug overdose during the first two weeks after release.” (Paul Tonko, 2023-03-20)
Evidence (2023-03-20): One study did find the ratio Tonko cited, but that research has limitations, especially the age of its data, which is more than two decades old. A more recent study found ratios that were lower: from 40 to 74 times higher. Regardless of the precise ratio, both studies show a significantly elevated risk of drug overdose for people recently released from incarceration.
Claim: “Individuals released from incarceration are 129 times more likely to die of a drug overdose during the first two weeks after release.” (Paul Tonko, 2023-03-20)
Evidence (2024-03-12): Currently, there are more than two million people in prisons or jails, with nearly two-thirds meeting the criteria for a substance use disorder. Following these patterns, overdose is the leading cause of death following release from prison and the third leading cause of death during periods of incarceration in jails. Traditional quantitative methods analyzing the factors associated with overdose following incarceration may fail to capture structural and environmental factors present in specific communities. People with lived experiences in the criminal legal system and with substance use disorder hold unique perspectives and must be involved in the research process. [...] Specifically, incarcerated individuals are at least 40 to 129 times as likely to die from a drug overdose compared to the general public two weeks following their release (Binswanger et al., 2007; Overdose Deaths and Jail Incarceration, n.d.; Ranapurwala et al., 2018). Furthermore, there was a 600% increase in deaths related to alcohol intoxication or drug overdoses in state prisons from 2001 to 2018 and over a 200% increase in county jails (Schwartzapfel & Jenkins, 2021).

Evidence (2007-11-01): Results: Of 30,237 released inmates, 443 died during a mean follow-up period of 1.9 years. The overall mortality rate was 777 deaths per 100,000 person-years. The adjusted risk of death among former inmates was 3.5 times that among other state residents (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2 to 3.8). During the first 2 weeks after release, the risk of death among former inmates was 12.7 (95% CI, 9.2 to 17.4) times that among other state residents, with a markedly elevated relative risk of death from drug overdose (129; 95% CI, 89 to 186). The leading causes of death among former inmates were drug overdose, cardiovascular disease, homicide, and suicide. Conclusions: Former prison inmates were at high risk for death after release from prison, particularly during the first 2 weeks. Interventions are necessary to reduce the risk of death after release from prison.

Claim: “Individuals released from incarceration are 129 times more likely to die of a drug overdose during the first two weeks after release.” (Paul Tonko, 2023-03-20)
Evidence (2024-10-06): Incarcerated individuals face a significantly increased risk of death from drug overdose after release from prison. [...] In the first two weeks following release, formerly incarcerated people faced an adjusted relative risk of death from overdose 129 times greater than that of the general population. Researchers postulate that a diminished physiological tolerance to drugs during incarceration could be responsible for this increased risk of death (9). Consequently, multiple studies have examined the effects of provision of MOUD during incarceration on rates of post-release fatal overdose. [...] Green TC, Clarke J, Brinkley-Rubinstein L, et al.

Evidence (2021-09-09): Former inmates at high risk for opioid overdose following prison release A recent study in North Carolina found that, in the first two weeks after being released from prison, former inmates were 40 times more likely to die of an opioid overdose than someone in the general population. When restricted to heroin overdoses only, formerly incarcerated individuals’ likelihood of overdose death increased to 74 times the norm within the first two weeks after release. Even an entire year after release, overdose death rates remained 10-18 times higher among formerly incarcerated individuals as compared to the general N.C. population.
