With kid gloves, of course, but yeah they made her out to be a crass opportunist.

Wasn't a funny bit. At all.

She’s better despised and then ignored than gently mocked.

- Did Angel come for Caitlin in a way she wouldn’t have come for a Black player who had acted the same way? Yes
- Was Jill Biden ridiculous for suggesting that Iowa should come to the White House too? Yes
- Did Angel fan the flames by suggesting they would only go to the Obama’s house? Yes
- Has Angel been making deliberate choices to boost her own profile/brand? Yes

Don’t think Angel rubbing the win in Caitlin’s face had anything to do with race. Was more about competition, bragging rights, and reacting to the “can’t see me” taunts that Caitlin started.

I absolutely disagree. She would not have taken such offense to Caitlin’s trash talking of other teams if she had been Black. She perceived Caitlin as being disrespectful because she was a White player trash talking Black players. There is no chance Angel would have followed Aliyah Boston around doing the John Cena.

Because Aaliyah Boston would have calmly and politely gathered her up and bodied her .

Boston had nothing to do with it, doubt she would want to fight because of an opponent talking stuff during a game, and Caitlin is the one who had been doing the John Cena all tournament while the refs were cheating in her favor so she could win.

You probably believe "Hands Up Don't Shoot" also, don't you?

Looks like LSU and Angel are not handling the success all that well...

Except a lot of mainstream media has been ready to crown Caitlin the greatest and give her the most visibility while completely ignoring her bad behavior. Or saying she's a "fierce competitor" "has swagger" or has that "dog in her". Hailey Van Lith has awful behavior and gets the same pass.

Dawn Staley made the point that someone overheard major media figures disparaging her team in such terms. The SEC girls notice these things for sure. They see the Cavinder twins and Olivia Duane leading in NIL money, along with Paige Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith, Cameron Brink and Caitlin Clark. They see who the media gives a pass.

Love how bully ball + portal + recruiting & money flying around + different roster every ear at SEC schools = winning women’s ncaa games!

Hey, if refs ain’t calling it, it escalates. Different rules at the tourney, so to exploit that play bullyball.

What happened with Gino and Dawn? All I saw is a clip of some sort of verbal altercation but can't see what led up to that?

[Anonymous]

Typical Gino sore loser reaction. He thought Dawn stood him up for pregame handshakes, but that's weak sauce. She always goes down the line of the opposing team to shake hands with the staff--there is video of this. Sounds like to me Gino wasn't there when it happened. He didn't even shake hands with any of the USC players. If he was mad at Dawn he would have shaken their hands. But since he was made about losing he took it out on everyone.
