Yeah, I don't know who this Clay Travis guy is, but I can't say I'm surprised. It never ceases to amaze me how the internet commenters and media trolls and Shaughnessys of the world, most of whom probably never accomplished anything meaningful in their athletic lives, love popping up out of the woodwork just to denigrate anything the UConn women do, simply because they happen to play a women's sport.
In stark contrast, almost every current or former men's player or coach of any note, whether it's Jay Bilas, Seth Greenberg, Jay Williams, John Calipari, even John Wooden when he was still with us, has no problem whatsoever recognizing and appreciating greatness in sports, regardless of the gender of the players. (Dopey Doug Gottlieb is the only exception I can think of right now, though there may be others.) Funny how that works. Kobe Bryant didn't have to send the UConn women a congratulatory tweet last night, but he did. Does anyone think he doesn't understand what greatness is, or how much hard work goes into achieving it? With all due respect to Clay Travis (whoever he is), what the hell does he know?
Another example: current Kansas guard Frank Mason III was on SportsCenter last night to talk about his team's miracle comeback win against West Virginia. John Anderson (completely randomly) asked him when was the last time he'd won 100 games in a row. Honestly, that question might've annoyed me if I'd been on the show to talk about my game and not the UConn women's game, but Mason responded that he'd never won 100 in a row and that UConn was amazing and had a great coach. Why? Because, unlike some people, he's an accomplished athlete in his own right and clearly felt no need to minimize the UConn women's accomplishment just to try to make himself feel better or build himself up.
In short, to hell with the haters and trolls. Those who matter, who've done something, and who know what they're talking about, get it.
