If this is the case, then why did Reesie make such a big deal out of Clark’s conduct toward someone on another team? Isn’t that just typical in game trash talk? Why can’t Clark do it too then? Because white girls are not allowed to do such a thing against a black player? Actually this was just Reese showing her own racism. |
That whole thing is so weird. I think Jill Biden was just trying to be nice, or maybe she just doesn’t understand sports, but yeah…the losing team does not get a trip to the White House. Ffs. |
How much did it hurt to twist yourself into knots to come up with that reasoning? Best laugh I have had in a while. |
Seems pretty straightforward to me. If trash talk and the like is part of the game, then why was Reese justified in protesting Clark’s trash talking of a player on another team? I’m sorry you struggle with basic reasoning and analogies. |
Yeah, as if SKWs like you don’t twist yourself into a pretzel to justify every action of anyone who is black. |

You tried taking your comedy on the road? |
Here's an interview BEFORE the finals, in which a reporter says, "Social media is buzzing over the 'two best trash talkers in the country', you and Angel Reese. I presume that you view that as a positive thing, not a negative thing." https://www.hawkcentral.com/videos/sports/college/iowa/basketball-women/2023/04/01/caitlin-clark-iowa-womens-basketball-trash-talk/11584560002/ |
Huh? Your reasoning was that it was ok for Clark to do it, but not ok for Reese to react that Clark had done the Cena to Louisville and thus it was because Reese was black that she was upset that white Clark had done it to Louisville so therefore by Reese doing the Cena to Clark in the finals somehow it's racially motivated and Reese is racists. So again, does your back hurt from that twisting all around? You make zero sense. I got no issue with a white, black, purple, tie dyed, etc person doing it. I got no issue with Clark doing it. I got no issue with Reese doing it. It's sports. Men do it ALL THE TIME. You think there aren't words exchanged on the court? The Cena is pretty minor. GMAFB with your fake outrage. Both women wanted to win, ain't nothing wrong with that. Seriously, find something else to be outraged about, like rising interest rates, job losses, the poor woman killed in the Ivy City motel. |

Can we all agree that if you didn’t watch any women’s basketball games this year, you’re spelling the player’s names wrong, and you have no knowledge of their stats that you are not permitted to comment on the situation?
I swear, some people sound like such momos commenting on this with no context. This was a great year for women’s basketball and I’m here for all of it. |
This is the best thing to happen to womens basketball in years. People actually care now and, unlike mens, the stars will be back next year. |
I admit that I’ve totally not been following women’s basketball until 3 years ago (due to my child going to SC)… but I’m so happy to see all of this going on. I have 7 brothers and love all the trash talk… learn to give it out and take it. Love that coaches are learning about NIL, getting these women financial advisors. I.love.all.of.it |
This has been addressed in this thread. Angel was making a bigger point about the differential treatment. Monica Cziznano on Iowa can throw her elbows and shoulders around and she's playing hard, but when LSU and SC play tough defense it's a "bar fight" or they're "thugs" or "hood rats". Caitlin and Hailey always gets the benefit of the doubt for their trash talk, flopping and other antics, yet Angel and players from similar backgrounds are pilloried. She is making a point about the benefit of the doubt and outsized attention given to Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith, Cameron Brink, the Cavinder Twins etc. Similarly excellent black players do not get the same media spotlight, attention and hype. To you that waive Caitlin did to Raven Johnson was a cute little thing or even "savage!". To the SEC girls, it was symbolic of how they have been similarly and repeatedly dismissed, ignored, overlooked and undervalued throughout their entire basketball careers. What was the refrain they kept repeating? Put some respect on my name! They were all giving Caitlin her due as a great player, and they just want it for themselves too. I bet you didn't blink twice when Maria Sharapova outlearned Serena Williams in endorsements for much of their careers despite Williams' absolute dominance in that "rivalry". Like she said, it was bigger than her. |

I prefer athletes who show emotion and look like they care |
