Stories I read say Clark used a similar gesture in an earlier tournament game.  Puts a rather different spin on it.

Clark was hotdogging it and showing up others in the tournament.  Reese put her in her place.

I think that what puts a different spin on it is that Caitlin Clarke says that Angel Reese's woofing after the win was perfectly fine and that she'd done similar in the past.  The bragging gesture isn't aimed at a single person on the other team, but the whole team.  It is absolutely typical sports woofing.

That would be a shitty spin.

That is Vox's spin.  Also that men are terrible.

I do not believe any of those stories. This is a non-story.

Clark scored 30 points. She did great in the game, she was not shamed or put in her place or whatever. LSU won and was doing normal sports stuff. Good for them, that was a good Iowa team they beat. *shrug*

I do.  Anyone else who cares about manners.

You don't know what else was said in the game. It is just one image being made to mean all this stuff it probably doesn't.

Are you arguing that no one should care about this story or that those arguing Reese behaved inappropriately are wrong?
