engaging the media with a defense statement before the article even drops at a march madness press conference?

now its going to go viral.

dumbest thing ive seen in years

For real. This nobody (16k twitter followers) is getting a ton of free pub for a story that hasn't even been published yet.


Also very clearly got Pat Forde to leak it (350k twitter). Jeff Duncan also joined in (60k twitter, prominent local reporter. Also a Louisville buddy with Forde).

Mulkey giving it even more legs is just dumb

Yeah, this is purely political/ideological.

Kim appears to be too bright, like Caitlyn Clark.

yeah, its all over twitter; clay travis leaked it too, over a million followers.

i am not a fan of the liberal media smear campaigns, but her issuing a defense statement is certainly interesting, esp when the author is a nobody.

Opening statement of link.

25 mins into the video. Be better.

She said the reporter first contacted her two years ago and has been hounding her ever since. Two years ago tells me this stems from the Brittany Griner crap. Got all twisted up because Kim kept her thoughts to herself (as she should- she’s a coach, not a diplomat to a Russia) and found people to “confirm” that he refusal to speak out was based on racism and homophobia.

In other words, a load of bullshite that will have no real world impact, but will have the idiots on social media in an uproar.

Not really. She knows what is in the story. The way the media has been attacking her, she knows it will go viral either way because the goal is to take her down. So why not let the attackers know ahead of time. Go ahead and do it if you want, but I will not back down.

This has to be more personal than that. Someone with a vendetta. We just recently saw how Dawn Staley was able to have her people at ESPN (and other media) twist the narrative.

This has to be someone with a political and/or racial motive.

It doesn't matter if she made a statement or not. Any major hit piece with Kim catches fire and goes viral every damn time.

If she’s already hired a law firm, they knew what she was going to say today. They may have even advised her to respond and what to say or pre-approved what she said. She had a written statement she was going by. I don’t recall that to be a norm when she speaks.
