LSU refused Dr.Jill in their locker room because Biden didn't pick them in the bracket

[Dak1219]

I haven’t seen her being rude to children, the same people making racist comments on her page are probably the same ones spreading lies. I don’t care about what the press says, we all know they have an agenda, I’ve seen numberous outlets bring her in for interviews and I doubt they would if they though she was dumb like u said.

There was a huge post that one of the volunteers put into social media with pictures of her and certain LSU athletes; Alexis Morris being one of them. She called Angel out by name because of not only how rudely she treated her, but also her daughter. She said prior to that run-in, she was rooting for LSU, then she wasn't.

Responded to political comment

Believe you proceeded to toss in an ex president as opposed to just keeping with the sitting.

 

[creekdipper]

Definitely! Most on this board are those exact people sadly!

Most people on this board are "ghetto?"

That lends itself to a racialized reading of privileged whiteness!!!

If I'm not wrong Biden is a UofM alum? If so it's expected for him to pick UofM, so much but hurt going on in this nation. Boo Hoo you hurt my feelings so I'm not going to the white house. Which used to be a tradition to go to after a national title or any championship in sports. GTFU

Mulkey is afraid to say anything to her star player.

havent read all the posts here but can offer without a doubt this is boorish behavior..... even if you do not agree politically with administrsation you behave gracioously and say yes ma'am and yes sir.... resxpect for authority and your elders...... oh well

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I can see Clark going to the White House. She was the player of the year. I do not see the entire team going.

How many times has the player of the year been invited to the White House without a championship?

Citizens, we are making this much too difficult.

Reese is expanding her brand. That's all. Look, she gives the ol' standard line of how she "doesn't take disrespect lightly, " "is standing up for her SEC sisters," throws in some rote allusions to boxes and hoods and being her authentic self for all the little girls who look like her (meaning future models). So how does she demonstrate that her actions were simply being the Trash Talk Regulator?

Easy. By announcing her new merch of brand new tees prominently featuring her doing the Ky Fried pose and the Cena pose. Because, y'all, those are such breaches of etiquette that we have to advertise them and sell tgem to the public along with the other branding items...just like the male-presenting pros do it.

All about the Benjamins.

Meanwhile, clueless Dr. Jill suggest that both finalists get an invite. A racialized reading of privileged whiteness, you say? Why, to quote the great Isaac Hayes theme song, "Shut yo mouth" (even if you are talkin' 'bout Shaft, who is a baaaad mother).

That's getting way too deep.

The actual dope is that Dr. Jill sounds clueless about basketball in general...like a person who shows up to a cricket match knowing nothing about the game and then is asked to comment on her impressions. And her answer indicates that she is a novice who just gushes some vague platitudes. Wasn't it exciting? And how they bounced that little ball so well!

As for motivations for wanting both teams to come? Well, a cynic would say more photo ops to pander to more potential voters. But it's much simpler than that.

Dr. Jill is a True Believer in inclusiveness. She hasn't quite gotten tge hang of this winner/loser thing (outside of politics), so she couldn't fathom that anyone would find her suggestion odd in a land of rainbows and sugar plums. And she says to herself, What a Wonderful World.

Partially about the branding. Somewhat about the pandering. The rest about the ignorance of traditions.

There. Now we can go back to moaning about the dim prospects of Lady Vols basketball until we lure Shuhshevsky out of retirement by outbidding Afflack.

I don’t have knowledge but did she even invite a runner up in the other years she’s been in the White House?

 

[livefaith]

Some of her antics are a bit much, but nothing approximating the cluelessness of the First Lady’s idea of bringing Iowa along for the ride.

That's just to get action in the upcoming IA caucus.

… well yeah, creek, b-b-but Caitlin Clark did it first! What about that, huh? It was Caitlin Clark! In the observatory! With the candlestick! And stuff!

Hey Creek, you have referenced my statement now in a couple of posts and I fear my intent did not come through.

I wrote "I have no idea about Biden's motivation but it certainly lends to itself to a racialized reading of privileging whiteness."

So, I was not saying that the privileging of whiteness was Jill Biden's actual motivation but that it is easy for her invite to Iowa to be interpreted in that light, given the overall context.

I am not one who will give up the principles on which I was raised. I realize that many today have no problem with disobeying the laws and principles on which our society was based. Greed has become the basis on which many people base their actions. I am proud to say, I will not let greed be what drives my life.

You seem confused. No one in this discussion is advocating that we hire a coach who has broken laws. The only glaring difference between our coach and LSU's is that theirs gets results and ours does not. It's not illegal to make a childish comment. And the notion that only athletes who exemplify perfect decorum should be recruited is a great way to have a truly awful team. Also, greed has nothing to do with saying one doesn't want to go to the White House; a lot of us wouldn't want to go to the WH, with the current person in charge there, for any reason whatsoever.

 

[Smallvol#1]

Not going to defend Reese’s nonsense but I would be upset too if I were lsu. They definitely deserved to go there alone

If Iowa won, they would deserve to go on their own as well.

Is it two items?
1) before the game they would not let Jill Biden in locker roo because Biden did not pick LSU as a FF team? (Why on earth would anyone think that going in a locker room pregame is appropriate? Teams are psyching up, getting physically ready etc., don’t need any distractions.)
2) after game angry because Jill Biden wanted to include Iowa in WH visit? I really don’t blame them, but that had to have occurred after the game and is therefore irrelevant to refusing her entry before the game, or she would have said invite both teams, not knowing who the loser would be.
There is some illogical arguing going on in this thread. Make up your mind what you are defending or attacking and address that point; then go jump on the other one if you want. Just don’t lump both together and try to make an intelligent argument, because it won’t be one!
@Ladyvolfan45 , don’t mean you are lumping them together, just trying to sort out who is mad about what and why they are mad.

 

[kell7517]

Maryland is prob happy she left

What’s weird is I don’t ever recall a mulkey coached team having a player like this before. None of her Baylor teams had this nonsense. But she prob took Reese in because they were desperate for talent.

But Reese is going to go full blown attention seeking and cash in as much as she can on the NIL train.

See, Britney Griner sucker punching a girl!!!

 

[woodpusher]

Do any of them realize how difficult it is to snag a White House tour? And that's with the President not even being there! I don't see it as a gaffe to invite the losing team - POTUS, FLOTUS and their staff can invite whomever they like.

 

[turbovol]

Nothing typified how crass and absurd and corrupt college sports has become than this idea of "branding." And it's ironic that we're seeing it more in the women's game than the men's, because I think a lot of the growing popularity of women's sports has been the fact that doesn't have all the BS that we see in the men's games. But sadly, it's all clearly starting to infect women's sports. Women can brand themselves more easily than men, it would seem, because the best players in men's college basketball leave after a year or two whereas as the top female players stay in college, which gives them a chance to build a brand--even though I think the concept is stupid and clashes with the very idea of playing a /team/ sport and representing your school/college. That's what it's supposed to be about--and is for many. But a lot of these female players want to make it about their looks, and they're blathering on social media, and it's all gotten quite crass. That has been the big change in America society over the last ten/20 years: The ME society is back. It's all about me and my identity--and social media started it, really--especially with young women and Instagram.

 

[turbovol]

If I know the Obamas, they will reject this idea of the LSU team meeting with them rather than going to the White House. Obama will understand--at least I think and I hope that he does--that Reese and her teammates are disrespecting the presidency, and I don't think he'll like it. He was obviously a president himself--and he and Michelle are tight with the Bidens, so I'll be surprised if he signs on to the very dumb, racialized idea of LSU visiting him. And I think it's time that the LSU athletic director and Kim "clown clothes" Mulkey take charge of the team.

 

[turbovol]

She just speaks up for herself, she’s just here to play basketball and build a brand, she’s always attacked and we all know why. Just go on her Instagram and read all the racist comments and u will see how she feels people are against her. But maybe some people on here are in her comments anyway.

People are against her because she's a poor sport and a punk. Clark didn't taunt her or LSU--it was another game, and while Clark was wrong to do it, it was very brief, not directed at any opposing player in particular, whereas Reese spent 20 seconds directly taunting Clark at the end of the game, and her unsportsmanlike action was /definitely/ racialized.

I don’t like how she’s speaking on behalf of the entire team. No discipline might be the reason she left Frese and ended up with Mulkey.

Visiting the White House after winning a National Championship is stuff that some can only dream of.

 

[cbrown]

This individual appears to have the mind of a child. Spontaneous gestures are one thing. She chased her around the court to make sure she got to “show her.” I’m struggling to understand why that was more important to her in that moment than the joy of celebrating winning a championship with her teammates. Perhaps I’m just old and don’t get it.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

A lot of people n page 1 are the reason you’re hearing so much backlack in DEFENSE of Angel Reese. I guess Lisa Leslie was right after all about her recruiting visit .
