Jill Biden has been slammed for inviting NCAA champions LSU Tigers AND runners-up Iowa Hawkeyes to the White House for a visit.
LSU beat Iowa 102-85 in the final of the national championship at the weekend in a victory marred by bad blood between the main protagonists Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark - which spilt into a wider discussion about hypocrisy and racism. So when United States' First Lady Jill Biden extended her invitation to both teams it was met with fury.
Jill Biden, who attended the game in Dallas, said: “I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do. So, we hope LSU will come. But, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”
