U can do a documentary on how the black athlete & athletes of color are broadcast in sports media compared to the white athlete in this era of wokeness the white sports broadcaster hasn’t taken the time to really change their perspective (maybe some have) but why haven’t they ?

compelling commentary. you were measured & fair in the way you presented this. You didn't criticize Iowa players for their competitive zeal, simply pointed out the double standard. age old problem. I've been a sports broadcaster for 42 years & have seen this many times before.

I don’t think you’re wrong in that there’s an obvious difference. What I will say, when watching these clips, is that a lot of times Angel’s is demonstrative towards opponents. Hailey and Caitlin hide it by pointing it towards their bench/teammates sometimes

Because black women’s competitive emotions are looked at as intimidating unsportsmanlike and brash. White women’s competitive emotions are considered as fired up & simple competitive nature. Sometimes jovial. It’s unfair. It’s society’s perspective translated to the court.

Again, when Angel drops a 40 point triple double….i’ll let her griddy all she wants on the court. Clark doesn’t get as much hate for her emotions because she’s the best player in the country, Angel isn’t. I think labeling it as a BW issue is an extreme reach.

It’s almost like all of your tweets have something to do with race.

This is facts bro! The energy is never viewed the same. It’s been this way for decades. Goal post is never planted on solid ground for them. It’s easy to move it for the narratives.

Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. It’s staring us all right in the face, but people are afraid to say it. Won’t answer questions about Caitlin Clark. Gets mad when people praise Caitlin Clark for the explosion of popularity around Women’s Basketball. Celebrates when her teammates flagrantly foul Caitlin Clark. Goes after and tries to punch Caitlin Clark after a routine “make them earn it foul” after Angel Reese fouled Aaliyah Boston with a push in the back that wasn’t called. That’s not just hate. That’s jealousy and resentment. Some people get uncomfortable when you say Angel Reese hates or is jealous of Caitlin Clark because of the complex racial history of America and the historical stereotypes of the angry or jealous Black Woman. I understand that. Angel Reese isn’t just some jealous Black woman. Angel is an NCAA Champion and great basketball player. She’s a competitor who has shown she doesn’t like how Caitlin Clark is crowned while she’s criticized for showing the same confidence and fire in her own way. That’s not an assumption, that’s what Angel Reese has said and shown us all. And yeah, that can turn into hate, jealousy and resentment. That’s what makes this rivalry real to a lot of viewers. Caitlin Clark is the most popular athlete in America and Angel Reese is the Isiah Thomas to Caitlin Clark’s Michael Jordan. That’s what will continue to raise the popularity of the WNBA. People care about rivalries. Rivalries aren’t built on handshakes. They are forged in fire, fouls, and pride. Angel Reese wants to beat and outshine Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese has said she is the Villain. That is sports. That’s the game. Angel Reese has beat Caitlin Clark, but never outshined her. Even when Angel won the national title, the First Lady wanted to see her and Caitlin Clark at the White House. Over time the hate and resentment has built up from all this. You could see it in her overreaction to the routine basketball play foul. I’m just the one not afraid to say it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
