I do take issue with someone choosing the moment when they should be celebrating their team to go taunt another player personally. But what she did isn't any worse than standard trash-talking, and obviously she specifically used the exact same gesture that Clark had previously used to celebrate her own accomplishment. So it's pretty dumb to get mad at her for this, I guess. It's absolutely classless, but no more so than the shit that happens in sports all the time by people of various races and genders.
Carron Phillips's take is predictable and boring, of ourse. But as far as shoehorning imagined racism into the outrage du jour goes, I've seen far bigger stretches than this.
Also, I realize that no one actually knows what woke means, but saying that it's a way to call black people the N-word is just flat out retarded. Woke is used to make fun of white liberal idiots FAR more often than it's used against black folks, in magum's opinion.

BD, are you going with the Iowa woman's team to the White House? What am I, a Doctor Jill Biden wants to invite them along with LSU. Midas whale invite the rest of the Final Four while we're at it.

Fun thing about Angel Reese that I haven't seen any controversy about and I think it's intentional, because it's absolutely something I could see Deadspin bitching about...she was 5th in the country in scoring and 2nd in rebounding (something absurd like 23.5/15.5) for a top 10 all year team (voting is done before the tourney), but she hasn't been even a finalist for the Naismith or Wooden POTY awards, despite having better numbers. She 100% should have been a shoo-in to be a finalist for the awards.
You also have to be a full-time student with at least a 2.0 GPA. Awkward.

Grades are a tool of white supremacy. /Deadspin
There you go.
See, these are learning moments, when I just have to learn to be a better listener.
Miami of Ohio women’s basketball coach DeUnna Hendrix resigned Wednesday after intimate text messages revealed she and a player were in a relationship, according to The Athletic's Chantel Jennings and Brian Hamilton.
The university initially suspended Hendrix on April 20, per a statement provided to The Athletic — the day after it reportedly discovered 180 texts between Hendrix, 38, and an unnamed player over an 11-day period. Thirty of the messages reportedly were considered "intimate" and included phrases such as “I love you," “You’re my baby, and “I. Can’t. Wait. To. Squeeze. You.”
"In one text exchange with the player, Hendrix referenced a couple who had been married for many years and added: 'Doing this with you openly would be more than ideal.' In a text dated April 9, Hendrix wrote 'TODAY IS THE DAYYYYYY that my girl returns to me' and then notes that 'the airport will be clear of Miami WBB employees.'
"The player also made intimate comments during the text exchanges, including professing her love for Hendrix."
I am conflicted on this one. Seems like a victimless crime. Really bad judgment by the coach obviously.
