Sorry you don't understand the contextual and moral difference between targetless motioning of a symbol during a rivalry game and literally chasing down an opposing player to directly taunt them after a game is over.
Upbringing diff. Unlucky.

Find one instance of an Arkansas player following a Texas player around after a game doing the horns down in their face

You should start a philosophy course at Arkansas

Maybe because it's trashy and wouldn't be supported? Just a thought.

I get it, you don’t respect the national anthem and think it’s an appropriate time to taunt

Hating Austin, Texas and respecting America go hand in hand.
Btw you're trying way too hard.

Make sure you document the entire foot path of Angel Reese as she was taunting Clark. I know that’s the cornerstone of your entire premise so it helps to strengthen your argument with a detailed exhibit.

This is such bullshite. Taunting is taunting. This statement is definitely about moving goalposts and reads like a statement from the Big 12 office.
“Horns down is okay if it’s outside of a 6 foot radius from a player and during a game defined as a rivalry.”
Look, I think Reese crossed the line a bit, but so what? It’s over and done with. The fact that ESPN praised Clark as the “queen of clap backs” would also be an exception, yes?
Our society loves bat flips and staring down pitchers. It loves the step-over an injured player (so long as it’s not serious), or a la Iverson over Lue. Throat slashing gestures were fine for years. I could go on…but Reese’s actions, while not condoned, weren’t something that warrants such an overreaction.

There's a pretty clear difference. Even the officiating body of the game recognizes that. There's no moving goalposts. Just people that want to invalidate context to be classless.

I think this is mostly a fan thing. Most athletes don't give a shite about this in the middle of heated competition.
Sure, that doesn't mean that what both of those players did wasn't shitty.

From the softer sector of fans, which I assume doesn’t include Arkansas fans.
Iverson/Lue was great TV. You want to flip a bat? Fine. You may get drilled by a fastball next time.

quote:Agreed on all fronts. Still don't think it equates to deliberately chasing someone down to get in their face and mock them postgame. If Reese had pulled an Iverson over Clark in the middle of the championship we aren't having this conversation.

The greats get away with taunting, not some broad scoring 10 pts a game, who waited till the end to do it

I could find more if you really want me to. It happens all the time in all sports. I find it very humorous looking at all the melts about this, especially when it's a sport like women's basketball that everyone claims to not care about but suddenly so many sports fans have such strong opinions about this.
I think opinions on taunting have changed a lot over the years. Even 20 years ago, it was really looked down on and 30-50 years ago, it was just classless, poor sportsmanship, and there were possibly related consequences. With the social media age, changes in attitudes in general, less manners in society in general, etc., it's become reasonably accepted, especially in football and the NBA. We still seem to attempt to teach kids otherwise, but when they see their heroes do it, it doesn't do much good.
I have mixed feelings. I did grow up thinking it was wrong, wrong, wrong, but dayum, it feels good when we win and they act out, trash talk, etc. To a large degree, it's just part of the tik tok world now.

I dunno, what’s wrong with having a little class and enjoying your win without being an arse? Not talking about any specific situation but just about the trend in sports in general.

People that complain about taunting in sports are the same losers that complain when athletes show little or no emotion. Then they call them boring and vanilla. These are also the same losers that never competed a day in their life and think they understand. They don’t.

Astounding that this question is getting asked.
