Not sure about Mulkey's comments re: trash talking

I know this won't make many friends here.....but I didn't really like Mulkey's dismissal of trash talking today. I'm all for vigorous competition...but I am a firm believer in the old school 'let your playing on the field speak for you" mentality. I know people talk trash in sports. It used to be sort of taboo. But nowadays,with mics everywhere, it's plain as day. I absolutely do not like the way the WBB team is given license to act like a bunch of thugs. Do your job....say "nice game"...walk off the Court and talk your shite in the locker room. It is still a fricking game...where sportsmanship is supposed to matter...and you are teaching kids who are watching and emulating. I love our success...but we don't have to be the Bill Lambier Pistons to achieve it.... Fire away.

All about how you define trash talking. She’s talking about all the social media stuff that gets said and responded to. It’s no longer just tolerated, it’s accepted.

Yes because Bird, magic, Isaiah thomas and Jordan were gentlemanly on the court.

What do you mean by old school? I played in the 80s and we trash talked constantly. Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkins and MJ are my 3 favorite players and they all trashed talked.

Bro I hate to tell you this, but there has likely never been a pro championship team that didn't have a decent collection of trash talkers. Larry Bird's trash talking probably would have sent you into a coma.

You must hate Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, then.
Keep telling yourself that while you speak in racist code.

My fave was Larry Bird, when he walked into the locker room just before the All-Star 3 point shooting contest announced:
"Which one of you sorry em-effers is gonna finish second?"
Keep in mind, that wasn't even a game. Trash talking (especially in basketball) has been around even before Charlie Brown was coaching!

Angel Reece walked past the UCLA team after fouling out and asked them what airline they were flying home on.
Now, that shite is funny
What nobody is bitching about is the milk and cookies team player who waved goodbye to her...typical racial doublespeak.

This is such revisionist history bullshite. In the history of sports and athletics, there’s never been more of a phony, goofy culture of athletes trying to be Mr Nice Guy in press conferences and giving props to the other team/coach/players. Was it taboo when guys like Ali, Jordan, Bird, McEnroe, Tyson, etc. were the greatest trash talkers of all time?
The main thing that’s changed is that we have 100x more “media” outlets out there to plug their fake outrage and clickbait directly into the palms of our hands, in turn convincing idiots like you that you’re morally superior if you oppose guys talking a little shite while they’re playing a children’s game for a living. Grow up

Agree completely. People don’t understand that class is a choice. It is how you act. It is not your name, your bank account or where you live. How about this throw-back to one year ago: our Lady Tigers were offended that Iowa did not guard the SC outside shooters and that was an insult to to their SEC cousins! We are indulging this “I am disrespected, I am the victim here” mentality. Just go play the game and wish your opponent well after the game. Be a grown up - it is not hard

Oh boy. I bet your son or sons play or played Travel ball.

Does it outweigh desire to pull for LSU?

This is not an old school mentality.
This is a pearl clutching mentality.
