I know the R word can make folks uncomfortable but this is exactly what happened. Dude called a team full of (mostly) fair skin girls “America’s Sweethearts” and a team full of (mostly) dark skin girls “dirty debutantes”.

Seemed like Imus said something similar

I agree with Mulkey that it's more sexist, not racist.

HVL’s comments will put this board in a pretzel

It's not racism, ffs. Angel is the leader of this team. She is very pretty and looks like she'd be just as comfortable in a pageant. But she goes for the trash talking street tough angle. The name seems to be the mindset the team is trying to project.

The best example of this is the Clark/Reese reaction difference. Clark can bitch and moan anytime anyone touches her, can’t see me celebration, f-bomb the WVU crowd to the point her father gets upset in the stands, f-bond the IU bench. Crickets. Angel does one can’t see me to Clark. It blows up and Angel’s a “thug.”

It’s definitely racist and sexist. When Clark acts like an arse she’s described as competitive, when Reese does it she’s trashy.
At the end of the day they’re both competitors. The women’s game has long been way too soft, they need people like clark and Reese.

If this wasn’t against LSU we’d be calling BS.

She may be right in this case

I’d have to think most of the writers doing this imagine themselves as antiracist.
Posted on 3/31/24 at 2:40 pm to DamnStrong1860
The article was written with an immature level of malice. Hailey did a great job reflecting this back on the writer. Don’t possibly see how the writer can defend himself.

Racist against who? Mulkey or the team? Because it would be tough to say both
Posted on 3/31/24 at 2:43 pm to DamnStrong1860
She’s probably just trying to use their only weapon against them. Same as Mulkey using the sexist label. Not sure I like the r-word in any context but they should double, triple and quadruple down on the sexist card. And I’m not familiar with all their sexual orientations but I’m positive there are some lesbians on the team. Maybe they can victimize themselves that way too.

I’m still trying to figure out where he got this from? I’ve paid attention to a lot of women’s basketball this season, and UCLA is no where near “America’s favorite”. If he said this about Iowa, sure. But nobody cares about UCLA. Not even in LA. I’ve heard about Juju Watkins all year, she plays at SC, not UCLA.

quote:Right there with you. It is overplayed and overused and is now a cheap political attack when no other argument works. But seeing our players called "dirty debutantes" in comparison to the other team, this writer knew or should have known he was bringing race and class into a discussion about basketball.

I find it to be more elitism than sexism or racism. As Ivan Drago’s wife said “we are so very bad, and you are so very good.” The bottom line is UCLA can’t win anything outside of water polo and volleyball. They need to just shut up and take their L’s.

White girl dating black guy says something is racist. Shocker
