it's that Mulkey was dumb enough to believe that her and Ukrainian player would be besties like it's a Disney movie and not the deadliest European conflict since WW2.


This is just made up. The fact that she went to the player before proceeding with the recruitment shows she knew the player may not be ok with it. Yes she had hoped they would coexist but it's very clear that she knew it might not happen.

well as you already displayed, you are fricking stupid.

Mulkey didn’t go to Koval before she recruited Minaeva. Mulkey doesn’t give a shite what Koval thinks or feels.

Mulkey secured Minaeva, at some point she disclosed this to Koval, and whatever was reported was spun to make it only sound like communication, much less consultation.

Of course Mulkey knew the entire time how Koval feels about the war. The mere act of telling Koval demonstrates Mulkey was aware of the controversy of this and impact it would have.

Your brain doesn’t make the basic logical connection: this claim doesn’t absolve Mulkey’s actions; it damns them. In your mind she told Koval and did it anyway? And that’s OK with you?

Every article says she did. I wasn't there personally, but that is what is being reported.

gotcha, so just making more stuff up i see.

Of course I'm ok with it. A coach shouldn't not recruit a player over political reasons. She showed plenty of respect to Kova during the entire process but she has to do her job. If getting this player helps LSU that's what she should do.

And what call was that exactly? Be specific.

Nothing in your reply says mulkey believed they would be besties like in a disney movie. it says she thought they could be ambassadors. Not even close to the same thing.

It's such a ludicrous suggestion, I'm shocked she said it out loud. It's one of the funniest things I've read in a while. "Maybe the players could even help end the war" has got to be a top 5 dumbest thing to come out of a coach's mouth.

It's not ludicrous at all. The Russian girl is just a child. Many people are able to compartmentalize the difference between people actively engaging in war in children who just happen to be from the same country.

I have no opinion on Kova's decision to leave the team, that's her right and her business. But there's nothing wrong with Mulkys quote about wanting them to be ambassadors.

If you don't think suggesting the two being teammates would somehow contribute to the war ending is ludicrous, then I suppose we are at an impasse. It'd be really hard to say something more ignorant to me.

I guess it's a good thing she didn't remotely say that. You actually thought Kim Mulky said two girls on a college girls basketball team could help end the war between Ukraine and Russia?

"Maybe the two LSU post players could even help end the war" is the exact quote from the article in The Advocate.

If you think the reporter ad-libbed that, then best of luck to you.

i don't have a subscription to the advocate. I did not see that part in quotes on twitter, i'll have to take your word for it. Her wanting them to be ambassadors though is still a perfectly normal take.

Ukraine really needs to wake up and accept some sort of arbitrated peace while they still have leverage
