I like Caitlin’s trash talk. She’s cocky and she usually backs it up. I also don’t have a problem with what Reese did. You dish it, babe, you gotta take it when it comes back to you. Much ado about nothing.

There is a difference between yapping and trash talk during a game (ask Bird or Jordan about it) and trashy behavior after a game is over.

Figures that LSU fans have no clue about the difference. Did anyone expect otherwise?

100%

ESPN loves pushing this narrative though because it gets peoples eyeballs on their product.

Her “trash talk” was embraced and celebrated. It wasn’t stigmatized and pathologized.

Very interesting that it was celebrated when Clark did it and now the sports pundits are claiming unsportsmanlike conduct on Reese.



This is what Dawn was trying to talk about.

What did she do after the game was over? And please be specific.

This comment from your link says a lot:

quote:

There is a pretty clear difference in her in the moment and Reese taunting her after the game is over. Race has zero to do with it. Of course Reese couldn’t talk much in game because she wasn’t really doing anything.


Reese finished the game with 'only' 15 points and 10 rebounds. Clearly she wasn't doing anything special, except that...

While everyone knew Clark set the tourney record for points and assists, no one seemed to realize that Reese was setting the season record for double doubles. That's "not really doing anything"?

Why didn't anyone know Reese was setting the record? Because, leading up to the game, no one was talking about LSU and Reese. It was all about Iowa and Clark. "You can't see me", indeed.

LSU, Iowa, and ESPN have no choice but to lean into this "rivalry" and schedule a rematch early in the 2023-24 season, right?

No. Just give them high seeds on opposite sides of the bracket again.

Serious question: Can any of y’all with 100% certainty say that Caitlin Clark was not born a male?

My only problem with the LSU gal is if you watch the video she was following Clark around trying to taunt her it wasn’t just trash talking in passing in the game

The hate for Reese and LSU runs deeper than the you can’t see me move. That is just the excuse to attack them. This has more to do with hating Kim

Sometimes it's the act itself that offends. Sometimes it's when the act is done. Trash talk is just part of the game and some players use it more than others.

For the vast majority of the viewing audience, yesterday was the first women's BB game of the season. Until the Final 4, I had never heard of Clark or Reece.

So, from the outside looking in... it looked like what it was. A poor show of sportsmanship. Whether Reece was "in her bag" (whatever the frick that means) or not is irrelevant. Whether Clark did it first or not is not a justification either.

Context matters. You're on a national stage with an opportunity to represent more than your own individual feelings. All I saw was another reason not to tune into women's athletics.

LSU fans so obsessed with defending Reese it’s like they didn’t even win a natty.

They are a very emotional bunch. I’m worried about them.

Sha said she waited till she did as she did not want to get a T during the game. And it's time to move on, as I have no doubt they both have> I seriously doubt Clark woke up this morning pissed at Reese.
