You and others in the nothing to see here crowd better wake up before you finally do wake up to a country that is going to ABSOLUTELY PETRIFY you.

There is an anti American agenda that is now (after years of slow encroachment) operating at warp speed. No matter how much you want to "giggle" it away.

It seems that for many of you, there is no event/subject that doesn’t involve the conspiratorial liberal agenda. Yes, much of MSM seems to lean to the left. Not all of it , there are right leaning media outlets as well.
Kim and the young women are not the first or last athletes that will be criticized wrongfully in the media.
They will be fine.
They also didn’t “protest” the national anthem as coach Mulkey explained.
Quit looking for your boogey man and you will find that he disappears.
You don’t need to “wake up” to the conspiracies. Try reason and skepticism instead of fear and hatred. And smile more ??

I'm firmly not in the MAGA camp, but if you think the Mulkey hate isn't largely centered around the perception that SHE is MAGA, that is delusion of the highest quality.

I too long for the days when you could turn on ESPN after a basketball game for just the highlights. That ended decades ago. HINT: It wasn't the "trumptards" that made ESPN force leftists talking points unto its viewers.

If you watched her reaction at the post game PC, when asked about the anthem, she seriously looked clueless as to any issue. "This is the way my teams have always handled our pre game, on the court, activities".

Irregardless of what some may think of him, George Carlin's quote is spot on, in reference to what just happened over really the entire year against LSU ladies basketball. "You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge."

So take away the fact that the "sports media", which is a joke in itself now. Never seen such pompous, self righteous, egomaniacs masquerading around as if they are the sole arbiters of not only how sports should be played, but how it should be representative of their own beliefs and values. I mean if you thought the regular 24/7 news machines, to what's left of print journalism, to the voices of groups that purport to be media are bad. Sport journalists take it to an entire unbelievable level. You had no shortage of 6 of the largest news/media outlets that cover sports and news in general come out in attack, not of Kim Mulkey alone but the entire team, and to a lesser extent the University. Multiple times they completely wrote untrue, unsubstantiated, biased, work, that later they had to not only formally apologize for and retract, but in some instances which was even wilder that people of "letters" had to clarify their own apologies and retraction. Take away the political beliefs, the personal backgrounds, and the distant history of those involved just for just a second. Never before in my lifetime (Under the age of 30) have I personally witnessed a women's sport not only ought its way to the forefront in some instances but dominate news cycles the way it did. You had it all for the first time. Amazing personal stories, records being broken, historically dominant teams and powerful/famous voices colliding. And then all of this came out, and even if you are not an LSU fan. This was beyond sad. It made your skin crawl, it was that pathetic and ridiculous that the amount of enegery, focus, and will to destroy was there even before the Iowa game. It started before LSU ever tipped off the first game.

I am biased, as an alumni, and a lifelong Tiger supporter of all sports and everything LSU. (Yes do not mind admitting, WBB is probably 6th or 7th down on the list of Tiger teams or groups associated with that I follow.) To have a bunch of lowlife hacks and room temperature IQ individuals come after one of our coaches, our university, and let's face it in a not minor way the state of Louisiana. It wasn't anger, just absolute shock that a group of individuals, in a concerted effort or individual cause by person basis could come up with that, is just beyond belief in terms of its women's basketball. Sport. From ESPN, to the Washington Post, LA Times, coaches that have never even recruited or coached against Kim Mulkey before, to politicians and "celebrities".

Their interests converged. Put together as a whole, something about this team, Coach Mulkey now, and these players had all of these people come out of the literal woodwork to stop it. Something about their very being rubbed them the wrong way. That's tragic, that someone or somethings very existence in a thing such as sport/athletics brought them together like this.

I know long, just to put it into perspective and while this is political. You had a bastion and an echo chamber of what is seen as left wing progressive thought in the LA Times get so wrapped up, that a 20 year "veteran" "journalist" lost his mind in writing a piece that was universally seen as racist and misogynistic. For the last 30 years if not more he has programmed himself and and tried with others, his words not mine, "Eradicate this type of speech" and in less than three days in prep for an article, his programming collapsed. His entire political, moral, and ethical "standards" he claims to set for everyone else in the world went out the window because of this team. Then the icing on the cake, you have one of, if not the most preeminent institutions of collective progressive thought in UCLA. Their head coach, a "leader" of nearly 14 years, and one of the Top 20 highest paid employees. Come out and say not only at what is said to be a pretty good academic school, "I can't read". Or what is more plausible, she read the article from the LA Times agreed with jt, found no fault in the way it was published originall, and then her programming short circuited when she realized, everything she and that university stands for she just contradicted. These groups were willing to do anything, even throwing every one of their 30+ year ideologically tenets of being out the window to destroy.

Was there outrage when USC and UCONN were in the locker room last night during the anthem?

They can’t stand the success MAGA Kim has had. It goes against their leftist narratives.

What we have seen from Kim Mulkey in the last week alone should drive anyone away from the thought that she would knowingly condone skipping the national anthem. You would have to be easily influenced to reach that conclusion.

Yes, her team wasn’t on the floor and it was a bad look, but I have seen nothing from her that would make me think she deliberately thumbed her nose at the anthem.

Yes, All of this criticism is because Kim is white and MAGA, and therefore a victim. She is not fighting all this for herself, she is fighting for all white MAGAs. And make no mistake: this all coming to a head in the NCAA tourney was planned by the woke press to distract her and the team. It is Tournament Interference and Massive Fraud!

Wouldn’t surprise me if she pulls a Saban and decides “enough of this bullshite.”

She came here to win a NC and accomplished that sooner than she probably expected. Doubt she hangs around for more than another couple years.

Absolutely spot on !! Iowans started with the racial remarks after last years game . Clark talks trash too . Clark played against her brothers and can talk smack . Last year Iowa was outmatched . Mulkey would not bend the knee to Dawn Staley , the media appointed queen of WBB , AND she forced the LA Times to apologize and the UCLA coach to apologize . She was unaware of the anthem playing time . USC and UCONN were also in the locker toom during the anthem .
If the Iowans dont want to watch Black athletes , maybe watch curling . Kim is an outstanding coach building a brand for WBB . That draws jealousy . Media has for too long
printed garbage and gotten away with it . Go sheriff Kim !! BTW , support our WBB team on Gatewaypundit .com . Alot of LSU WBB racist bashing going on .
