Is what she did over the top? Yes. But do you know the one person you don't hear complaining about it? Clark. She talked shit and lost. She accepted it and moved on. I'm sure she was pissed about it but I hardly think that she's giving this as much thought as the rest of America. |

The criticism is fair. She's not a victim. Also, something tells me that if this were the other way around and many blacks people were complaining about Clark's actions, you wouldn't accept this narrative so easily. |

Where I'm a lot more bothered is the way dawn Staley threw bait and the media took it and somehow turned Clark into a cocky asshole and her supporters as racist hypocrites. She screamed racism because the Iowa coach complimented her team for being "bar fighters" meaning they play tough and scrappy. She then tried to parallel that to racist insults that I don't think were ever said. That's what Reese fed off of because it doesn't seem like Iowa was being disrespectful specifically to lsu. This is coming from someone who doesn't root for Iowa and is usually plenty supportive if diversity efforts. I thought Staley crossed the line and the media took the bait and unfairly dogpiled on Iowa. |

It became a race issue when the South Carolina coach made it a race issue in her post game interview after the loss to Iowa. Unfortunately, the NC was going to be tainted with it no matter the outcome.

You don't think there are black people that would "love nothing more than to call out a young, white woman for being over the top" if the roles were reversed? |

Something tells me that you really don't know me that well. There's no point in arguing this. We don't agree and probably won't.

that's how I see it too. Iowa and Clark did nothing to provoke LSU yet Reese took it personally enough to have major beef with Clark. I don't blame Reese for that. She used it as fuel the way the chiefs used the burrowhead shit. But it's clear that her anger with Clark had a lot to do with what public opinion was telling her to think. And that's the unsettling part for me. I get Staley's point to some small degree but she was wrong to make a spectacle of it.

Because there absolutely would be, and racism wouldn't become the overarching narrative like it is with this issue. People would understand that it's not about race for the majoirty, and they wouldn't feed into that. That's really all I'm trying to say here. |

Do you honestly believe that racism only exists when people are standing up and yelling the N word? |
