The comment clearly implied that the opinions of blacks or black athletes aren't worthy of discussion and that they need to know their place
If you are triggered to see racism behind every corner, then your bias would have you seeing implications in remarks that others would see as neutral. Try this: The comment clearly implied that the uninformed opinions of athletes aren't worthy of discussion.

Except that she's had several white athletes on her show to present their political comments. Never dismissed them.

Regardless, you are free to pretend she wasn't blowing the dog whistle.
