College sports never get covered down here, not even CFP. So for WBB to be covered down here, man it’s a big story.

FWIW a fairly balanced article in my opinion

I stopped reading after the first sentence.

America is sharply divided after college basketball player Angel Reese brutally mocked her opponent in the final minutes of a crucial game.

Australian’s love to overextend their use of adjectives…

I seriously don’t have a clue as to how any LSU fan is in opposition to Reese’s actions. Students, grown men and women, and even their little children have been telling the world to STTDB since 2007 on national television. And sing songs like B I’m from Louisiana!!

If that’s you (cause it’s me) then every single one of you should be for Angel, and going on every post from Australia to Portnoy on Barstool and simply type… STTDB!

The National Media in Australia is as WOKE as ESPN.

Pretty incredible to think that Sunday morning Angel Reese woke up as a really good college basketball player known primarily by people who follow the sport. Now she's a global sensation. I don't know if that's what she was going for but if it was, it worked. She's definitely getting her shine now.

If she was doing it for the attention then her plan worked because now she's a superstar. She's a brand now.

Australian sports have no right to call anyone on sportsmanship.

They are consistently caught on unsportsmanlike conduct. They were caught using sand paper on the cricket ball.
They are a big proponent of using ugly language on opponents. They called it psychological advantage.

They sledge consistently

That's in the Outback, Northern Territory, around Alice Springs, not near Sydney. I've been there and done that. I wouldn't go to the Outback again. However, Sydney and New South Wales are modern and nice.

Maybe they covered because Last Tear Poa is an Aussie…

Why? What about that statement is false?

I honestly don’t care that Reese rubbed it in her face but our fan base acting like she wasn’t being an a-hole is laughable.

If the situation were reversed and Iowa would have won and Clark would have followed Reese around doing the “too small” gesture at her you’d be up in arms about how classless Clark is.

Any article that starts out Reese did something “brutally”. Is not unbiased.

Was it distasteful to seemingly track down your opponent to mock her? Yes.

Is trash talking something that happens in the heat of competition that can sometime lead to irrational behavior? Also yes.

Baseball players pimp HRs or flex on strikeouts all the time. Basketball players trash talk. Football players trash talk. At 40 years old will Reese feel differently about what she did at 20 years old? Maybe. That's called maturity. We all look back and regret some of the things we did when we were younger.

But the SINGULAR reason this faux controversy has blown up is because it provides the media/social media an opportunity they are DESPARATE for in 2023...to inject racism into a conversation.

I don’t think so. Trash talk goes with the game. Players on the same team trash talk each other in practice. Caitlin Clark said it best a couple of hours ago. Get off Angel’s back and we aint going to no White House.
