The worst takes on Louisiana State University's (LSU) first national championship in women's basketball last weekend seemed to come from aggrieved white men on Twitter, upset over a young Black woman displaying bravado analogous to her male counterparts on the court.
This sudden interest in women's basketball, complete with overwrought outrage about non-gentlemen's antics, started when their easily offended eyes saw Tigersstar Angel Reese, the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA's Final Four, deliver one of the most hilarious sports taunts ever to University of Iowa sensation Caitlin Clark as LSU's 102-85 victory was secured. With under a minute remaining, and Clark standing next to her at the free throw line, Reese served up to her rival the Flava Flav/Tony Yayo "You Can't See Me" taunt (that John Cena humbly appropriated). She followed it up by pointing to her ring finger in Clark's direction from one end of the court to the other.
