Somehow not surprised at the sight of people clutching pearls over women, and especially women of color, being competitive and trash talking/gesturing.

Happens im every sport at every level in every game. Provided that the players are older than preteens, there's nothing wrong with it. Deal with it, haters.

They were calling unsportsmanlike penalties...but only Iowa. Meanwhile Reece was doing this and LSU's coach was grabbing the referees and running around on the court, kicking balls and shit like a crazy person but never got a tech.

This is a great example of social media bots trying to promote an issue with the most divisionary framing possible. Most people didn't even watch the game to see what was happening.

I mean aggressive as in her actions were more hostile and more unsportsmanlike. But sorry, I don't mean to trample on your racial victimhood complex.

Nobody cared when Aaron Donald did the "ring me" gesture during last year's Super Bowl, because he did it to the crowd and the cameras. It's not like he went up to Joe Burrow and did it right in his face after sacking him

From all the replays of the Iowa woman doing the "can't see me" gesture, none of them seemed to be directly taunting an opposing player. On the flip side, the LSU woman did her gestures in a pretty mean-spirited way, and in doing so made it all about her instead of her team winning a championship. In particular, her bench teammates dominated Iowa's bench and it's the reason they won, but now no one is talking about that

Always pathetic when people try to dismiss bad behavior by saying shit like "durr you're just a racist!" Assholes exist among every race and ethnicity, ya know

I wonder if any of these sports shows today have even talked about Mulkey's impact. She's major MAGA, didn't care that Russia kidnapped Britney Griner, and didn't care about Covid. Yes, it seems plausible to me that her off-the-wall showboating behavior does influence how the players act.

But the conversation immediately turned into criticizing LSU = racist. Interesting how that happened.

The WNBA and ESPN have been on this weird kick to really highlight the white women for the WNBA. Feels like every time they see a young white player they push the hell out of em.

Feels like they said "We arent making money pushing the black women lets push these young white girls". So they said fuck Candace Parker, and all i heard was how good Stewart and Ionescu are. Caitlin Clark is definitely next.

I'm glad this time its getting noticed and i hope people notice this a lot more. Since the WNBA doesnt get watched i feel like no one notices it

Lol this is not a black-white issue. Some people's game's are just more fun to watch than others. I acknowledge Parker is one of the goats but her style just wasn't as fun to watch as someone like Clark who is a ridiculously good passer with unlimited Steph curry like range.

My favorite part is that Caitlyn Clark could've been talking shit all game but the cameras and mics didn't pic it up so this is Reese firing back, but that won't be considered at all as to why she mightve done this back to her. There's a lot of unknowns, but weirdos wanna jump to conclusions and call her "classless" and "aggressive"

And even if Caitlyn didn't talk shit and she did this on a whim, who gives a fuck? it's fun to see, it's competitive, let it go.

Agreed. You win, you get to talk all the shit you want. I had no problem with it at all but I KNEW some people would and it would dominate the sports feed today. Which is annoying.

No it's because Clark is doing things in the women's game we've never seen before. Aja is awesome but we've seen players like her before so unfortunately she doesn't move the needle like Clark can.

Clark told a Louisville player to shut up because they were down 15, but I guess no one cared because the exchange was between two white girls.
