Twitter is now outraged that Kim has "misgendered" Poole. Apparently Poole uses "them" as her pronoun and Kim referred to Poole as "she" during her press conference after the game yesterday.

Kateri uses they/them pronouns, btw… but are we shocked Kim Mulkey is misgendering them? Not at all


"She's no longer with us", Mulkey said.


Personally I am offended. Offended that I have to share the earth with people who worry about shite like this.

These ladies are not handling success very well.

Yup that 9 game winning streak and rankings of 5/7 with wins over Va Tech and UVA with only 6 healthy players of our best 10 most of the game and no Angel means they are not handing success well.

The fact that the entire WBB team community is grilling Mulkey for referring to Poole as a 'her' instead of 'they/them' shows how ridiculous society has become and how people are looking to be outraged by any damn thing

I would LOVE to see Mulkey's response to this at a press conference.

Libitard reporter: "Coach, just a quick question about Kateri Poole. Is it true that they are no longer on the team?"

Mulkey: "Poole is no longer on the team. Who else are you talking about?"

Libitard reporter: "Just Poole"

Mulkey: "Well where I come from, I learned that when you use "they", there is more than 1 person involved. You might want to go back and brush up on your grammar a little"

Libitard reporter: Goes home and feverishly writes a hit-piece condemning Mulkey for being a part of everything that has been wrong with society and the world in general

They are 9-1, ranked seventh in the country, just blew out a top ten team, and are on a nine game winning streak winning most games by 30-40 points.

What the frick else do you want them to do?

I just find it hilarious that there is a certain libitard section of Twitter that will take every little thing and turn it against Mulkey. The mental gymnastics must be quite painful. There is a segment of them who are blaming Mulkey for Poole getting kicked off the team.....as if there is NO chance that Poole might have done something that warranted it.

I am convinced these morons would take the newspaper headline "Mulkey saves 10 babies from burning building" and respond with "If she wasn't so busy being MAGA Mulkey, she would have gotten there before the building caught fire"

This type of stuff does make it easier to see who in life you need to avoid.

For pete's sake, what has this world come to. We have to first look up their pronoun or social media to find out if they are she, he, they, them, it, or whatever? Maybe we could just say "that person" without offending anyone. Oh wait, I have heard recently that someone wanted to be referred to as a dog. Oh well.

Like how do you know this?

This is the type of unfounded bullshite that people who don't know any better pick up on and start spreading.

Here is what we know:

-Reese was causing problems and needed time away to re-focus. She seems to be fine now.

-Poole apparently did something worse and has been let go.

This doesn't mean the progam is falling apart and it certainly doesn't point to a "bad culture". The coach wouldn't stand for that. It means a couple of individuals strayed a bit and were held accountable for it.

It would be a "bad culture" if Mulkey didn't address any of the issues and just let the players play on.


Completely agree. I don't see a "bad culture". Teams deal with internal issues all the time, and most times the public is not privy to it. What I DO know is the team is 9-1 and blowing everyone out. They have the best rebounding duo on all of college basketball and possibly the best freshman. I think we have nothing to worry about other than depth, as a result of Smith's injury and Poole's departure. But, even that can be managed because of the overwhelming talent.

Watch out for occasions where it’s actually just one or two people (or a tiny percentage) who are saying something but it gets expanded to “the entire community”. Magas love to do that to convince themselves and each other that they are under threat.

Jordan Peterson has said N.Y. City has a list of "preferred pronouns" that city employees are expected to use : 77 and counting. Just glad that LSU has a head coach that has earned enough street cred that she can use Musk's recent quote: "frick you" to let all her enemies just how worried she is.

That idiot, 7 hours later, has one retweet and 6 likes and zero comments.

I’m guessing there is more outrage elsewhere on Twitter because Dan sure isn’t generating much!!

It’s all stems from having to much money at an age they can’t handle.
Most people can’t at any age let alone 18-20 year olds.
NIL will destroy most of the purity of the game. Already has.
