I prefer athletes who show emotion and look like they care


Ditto! Athletes cry when they lose, the celebrate when they win.

If you care.., the adrenaline running through your veins.

I'm sorry that she's embarrassing the hell out of y'all when you ought to be congratulating her, and that you still feel obligated to defend her, but this girl is just flat-out trash with zero class.


WTF? Why would both teams be invited? Do they invite both men’s teams after their championship? Both Super Bowl teams? Both World Series teams? NO THEY DON’T.

She’s right, it is a joke. LSU is the champ, only they should be invited. This isn’t the flex Jill Biden thinks it is. Every body doesn’t need a participation trophy. Iowa didn’t win, they stay home.

It is absolutely ridiculous to even suggest both teams.


Without Clark and the interest the Iowa team generated about 1/3 the number of viewers would have watched this final.

Of course Iowa would turn down the invitation and not give the low-class LSU team another opportunity to mug and pout and generally make asses of themselves. No one needed Reese to weigh on yet again, but that stupid clown of course has no filter, whether before, during, or after the game.


The rest of the world sees in Reese a young woman clearly and correctly pointing out double standards and representing the majority of players and real fans. Funny how she lives in your head rent free. Stay mad.


Hardly. Her reputation already sucked but now she’s tarnished her team’s victory as well. DCUM predictably makes excuses but she’s been widely ridiculed and condemned in sports circles.


+1

Reese is getting absolutely slaughtered everywhere except DCUM. Did she also not shake hands? Maybe some racists were spreading that rumor around.


No she isn't. A ton of prominent athletes have come out in support of her. You can keep your Keith Olberman and Dave Portnoy


Dave Portnoy far better reflects the views of sports fans across the country than DCUM ninnies. Y’all can defend Reese but you won’t actually pay money to watch her play in the future because she brings nothing new to the game.


No he doesn't. A TON of athletes have come out in support of her saying trash talk is just part of the game and if you dish it out, you need to be able to take it. Even Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi said it on their live broadcast. A bunch of real sports fans are actually bewildered that the media is making such a huge deal out of this. Real ballers are used to trash talk. If they want to clap back at Angel beat her and shut her up next time.

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.


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.

Why is it shocking that Maria Sharipova got more endorsements? She is way more attractive than Serena and, like it or not, that is what sells products.

Overlooked how? They are privileged to play Division 1 basketball and get full ride tuition. Give me a break. Since when have black women been “dismissed, overlooked, and ignored” in college basketball? Black people are always victims you know.

I love watching sports and I get having big emotions, but trash talk is unsportsmanlike to me, from anybody. It's petty and small from someone who should be celebrated for hard work and great moments of athleticism. It diminishes everyone.

We celebrate meanness way too much in our culture, not just in sports. It's gross.

It's been clear that you don't follow and are not familiar with women's basketball. You just have your little agenda.

It is more about attractiveness than race. Maria Sharapova is a very beautiful woman who looks good in ads. Take it up with the advertising industry, but this is the way it was until recently. Now apparently anyone can be a model.

I'm sorry that she's embarrassing the hell out of y'all when you ought to be congratulating her, and that you still feel obligated to defend her, but this girl is just flat-out trash with zero class.


WTF? Why would both teams be invited? Do they invite both men’s teams after their championship? Both Super Bowl teams? Both World Series teams? NO THEY DON’T.

She’s right, it is a joke. LSU is the champ, only they should be invited. This isn’t the flex Jill Biden thinks it is. Every body doesn’t need a participation trophy. Iowa didn’t win, they stay home.

It is absolutely ridiculous to even suggest both teams.


Without Clark and the interest the Iowa team generated about 1/3 the number of viewers would have watched this final.

Of course Iowa would turn down the invitation and not give the low-class LSU team another opportunity to mug and pout and generally make asses of themselves. No one needed Reese to weigh on yet again, but that stupid clown of course has no filter, whether before, during, or after the game.


The rest of the world sees in Reese a young woman clearly and correctly pointing out double standards and representing the majority of players and real fans. Funny how she lives in your head rent free. Stay mad.


Hardly. Her reputation already sucked but now she’s tarnished her team’s victory as well. DCUM predictably makes excuses but she’s been widely ridiculed and condemned in sports circles.


+1

Reese is getting absolutely slaughtered everywhere except DCUM. Did she also not shake hands? Maybe some racists were spreading that rumor around.


No she isn't. A ton of prominent athletes have come out in support of her. You can keep your Keith Olberman and Dave Portnoy


Dave Portnoy far better reflects the views of sports fans across the country than DCUM ninnies. Y’all can defend Reese but you won’t actually pay money to watch her play in the future because she brings nothing new to the game.


No he doesn't. A TON of athletes have come out in support of her saying trash talk is just part of the game and if you dish it out, you need to be able to take it. Even Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi said it on their live broadcast. A bunch of real sports fans are actually bewildered that the media is making such a huge deal out of this. Real ballers are used to trash talk. If they want to clap back at Angel beat her and shut her up next time.

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.


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.

Overlooked how? They are privileged to play Division 1 basketball and get full ride tuition. Give me a break. Since when have black women been “dismissed, overlooked, and ignored” in college basketball? Black people are always victims you know.


Translation: be happy with the little crumbs we're throwing you, little girl.

It's been clear that you don't follow and are not familiar with women's basketball. You just have your little agenda.

Oh shut up. Since when are all of these outstanding opportunities that thousands of girls would kill for, on addition to lucrative NIL contracts, “little crumbs?”


What % get full rides and NIL contracts?

How many need 2 jobs to support themselves after college?

Why is it shocking that Maria Sharipova got more endorsements? She is way more attractive than Serena and, like it or not, that is what sells products.


way to prove the point!

It is more about attractiveness than race. Maria Sharapova is a very beautiful woman who looks good in ads. Take it up with the advertising industry, but this is the way it was until recently. Now apparently anyone can be a model.

Angel gets a scholarship and NIL money for throwing a ball in a hoop. What do you want to do, give her a Senate seat?

DP and OMG. There are differences in attractiveness that aren't always about race. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Get a grip.

When you go off the deep end like this and make EVERYTHING about race, you lose people.
