They want to be treated equal until they’re treated equal

[@KI-wz7pr]

This is my thing. I don’t agree with sports casters name calling to athletes but my thing is when they say it about men no one cares. And the insult he gave her had nothing to do with her being a woman.

[@cjjohnson3827]

Acho didn’t lie. Angel embraced the villain role last year and was even cocky with it also when everything was going well for her. She gotta take her L. People gotta stop coddling her because it’s not doing her any favors. When Caitlin Clark lost last year she took the L graciously and showed good sportsmanship and came back this year and avenged it. This is coming from a black man that wanna see black people win in all aspects of life but I have to call a spade a spade we have to get rid of that victim mentality. I can’t stand that shit. I wish both ladies best of luck at the next level.

[@Scents-VesrsesNkicks]

I respectfully disagree, Caitlyn didn’t receive death threats, Caitlyn who displayed the same behavior was called a passionate player. Angel was called a dirty, classless debutant. It is not the same. Now had Caitlyn been called unsportsmanlike for her behavior I would shut up. But she was praised for her taunts, she was praised for her passion now I have no problem with neither player. I only have a problem with how sports writer labeled one and praised the other for displaying the same behavior

[@Moon-lt1dl]

What came first the chicken or the egg. Embracing doesn’t necessarily mean she started that narrative. Sometimes you just have to take what you’re given. I’m curious how Clark took the L graciously but Reese didn’t? Genuine question, I don’t keep up w this

Really bro? You have to issue an apology for your opinion just cause some lady got her britches in a bunch? Smh 🤦🏻 you know disagreeing and moving on is an option too, you dont have to roll over for everyone all the time. Imagine Dillon Brooks getting all emotional about his villian status and us coddling him when he literally said he pokes bears. It's okay to have nuts, Acho.

You’re wrong when Travis hunter received the dirty hit from the player at Colorado state, everyone agreed that it was a dirty hit and that he didn’t deserve death threats. But when a women, who plays clean and keeps her trash talk on the floor, receives the same treatment y’all turn a blind eye and say she needs to deal with it. Cornball shit at its highest degree. I’m not gonna even bring race into it because I would fry yo ass. I think this a result of women beating men at their own game now yall tryna get payback at any moment. Grow up.

A few years back there was an extremely interesting, and as it happens peculiarly pertinent study done; here are some of the findings: The study found that; of all the races on planet Earth, Black men date, bed, and wed outside their race the most. However, the irony here is, the study also found that; of all the races on planet Earth, Black women dated, had coitus, and married outside their race the least. The words of one of our greats comes to mind: "You cannot fight the slave-master and sleep with them at the same time. If you love the slave-master’s daughter, you have less love for your own.” “Powerful people cannot afford to educate the people that they oppress, because once you are truly educated, you will not ask for power.
