    Why isn't anyone talking about Caitlyn Clark, of Iowa, taunting her opponents all season long with the same gesture? Minus the ring gesture. In return, she was featured in sports segments and presented as the consummate unstoppable competitor. She was described as a warrior and the benchmark to be held in high regard for young athletes, male and female. So when Angel Reese from LSU went out and lead her team to the National Championship against Iowa. Doing so in amazing fashion with unbelievable stats that were consistent with her stats the entire season. Her team and fans have dubbed her the Queen with crown and ceremony. So why is Ms. Reese being called out of her name, being villanized and dragged through the mud because she was giving back to Caitlin just what she had been dishing out to opponents all year? Why do certain people feel the need to come to Caitlin's rescue? More importantly, why hasn't Caitlin, chimed in to not only protect her fellow baller but more importantly reject the unwarranted rescue of a helpless damsel in distress. State clearly: "There is only 1 winner in each contest. This is a competitive sport. This is how we play it. It is hard, and it gets loud, but in the end, we are 1 building a better sport for women. All women." Her silence only hurts the sport. She is allowing the racial division to destroy the purity of the sport and what little bit of remaining social peace. "White women are fragile and need to be saved while Black women are loud, threatening, and dangerous". I know some will say I'm reading a lot into this. I say, I'm just a student of history. Prove it wrong.

      There is a difference between casual trash talk or a hand gesture which everyone doesn’t and stalking a single opponent around the court attention to obstruct their view for the sole purpose of taunting them when the game is already over. I read your entire comment and you’re wrong on every point. Caitlin Clark did chime in to defend Reese almost immediately on one if not her first interview after the game stating Reese should not be criticized at all for what she did which makes your entire racial narrative based on Caitlin’s “silence” even more ridiculous. Black folks just don’t realize how much nonsensical takes like your comment expose your inferiority complex with white folks. Whites seems to be the only ones that can get you deep into your feelings over seemingly anything. Caitlin Clark is still the best player in Women’s NCAA Basketball and LSU is still the 2022-2023 National NCAA champions. All of the bratty immature nonsensical racial narratives are coming from one side who’s been taught to see race/racism in every situation.

      I'm starting to think black people might seriously be mentally challenged, which isn't shocking looking at how their neighborhoods and countries look. If you don't see the difference in trash talking DURING the game vs gloating after, especially for 10 mins and then bringing race into it, there's no helping you.

      There is No Hypocrisy because what Reese did was far more than what Caitlin did TWO games before facing LSU. Reese made it personal out of spite because Clark dropped 41 points including SIX 3 pointers, almost single handedly beat Dawn Staley’s Black SEC #1 (36-0) defending champs from South Carolina who blew LSU out by 24 points earlier in the season. There is no double standard because had Reese actually done the exact same hand gesture to her own bench like Clark did in the Louisville, rather than stalking Clark around the court attempting to obstruct her view just to taunt her, no one would’ve said anything.

    John Adams, former NCAA national coordinator of MBB officiating: “Having that level of officiating in that type of game, I think, really hurt the meteoric rise of women’s basketball. There is not perfect officiating anywhere ever, but man, that was awful.”

    Regardless of all the drama and story lines - stoked for women's hoops! They definitely got ppl to tune in! Looks promising for the future and imagine how many young girls got hyped and inspired by this to become athletes.

    Man everyone needs to stop, if it didn’t faze Caitlin Clark and she brushed it off then everyone else should too. Both girls were ok for doing the gesture.

      No offense, but if you read between the lines, Smith is really spewing sexist language in guise of racial issues. To be honest, race and gender intersect.
