Angel Reese

Caitlin did it to Hailey van lith and told her to shut up so fair play to me

Hailey was trash talking her and Clark responded. It’s a lot different when you respond vs you instigate it.

I was watching the game with a friend, at the end of the game.. I told her that a thread like this was coming. I was right. Im pretty meh about it. If she did that vs a team i rooted for, of course i would complain and seeth. Vs a team i don't care about.. Its whatever. Its not like Clark is some kind of angel

So your standard of sportsmanship and class only goes as far as whether it affects your team, triad? I'm disappointed, and surprised.

The problem with trash talking is once you start it, you can’t make the rules for retaliation. I don’t care for it either, but therm’s the rules.

Well i was showing my friend what she did, and how it was too much and over the top cockiness... but my blood pressure didn't rise, nor did I take to twitter or get on this board to make a thread about it. She is just a kid... she will grow up (probably). Its not like she was cursing at the officials, kissing another player, or spitting on the floor or anything like that.

I agree. There is a limit. I didn't like that Diana and Sue commented that she "earned" the right. To me you never have the right to humiliate another player who worked just as hard as you at the sport. That's why the word "Sportsmanship" exists. To follow somebody around the courst making gestures after the game is over is as low as I've seen a player behave short of violence. Some maturity is badly needed there. I hope it gets addressed.

I didn't hear that, but I'd be really disappointed in Sue supporting Reese. DT, not so much...

Well said.

Angel Reese addresses 'classless' Caitlin Clark taunt, highlights double standard: 'I don’t fit the narrative'

False equivalence.

If two players are known to trash talk and showboat then don't be surprised if one does it to the other if they meet. I think this being blown out of proportion.

I guess I missed this during the game, but wow. Another classless move by Reese without getting T'ed up. The refs must've been terrified of Mulkey, she had them in the palm of her hand today.
