[@cadefuxan8026]

Yeah I love sports too I especially love historical moments in sports. Here's some history that was made at NCAAW Basketball Championship: 1st time either program Iowa OR LSU had EVER been to the championship game, no matter who won it was gonna be the first banner that school hung, Angel Reese broke the record for double doubles in a season that game setting it at 34, Caitlin Clark broke the record for most points scored in the tournament and set it at 191 points, both teams scores in the game added together were the highest sum of a championship game ever in the league, LSUs score was the most ever in the championship game scored by a single team. They were both great teams that have some stars returning it's a REAL possibility we could see a rematch next year... That aside LSU has an NIL rapper whose dad was a rapper that was killed while she was in the womb. There's so many exciting things about this game and there's so many reasons why they set the viewership record and I was a part of that I watched from tip off to the final buzzer. I'll admit maybe since I'm an LSU fan I didn't pay attention I was too excited that they won, but you know what they're competitive and they're excited. It's not like she PUSHED Caitlin to the floor. People need to grow up. 9 million views for the most historic women's basketball game EVER. And TRIPLE the amount of views for some bleeding hearts spilt tea it's really gross how much it minimizes what was an amazing night for female sports in general and ALL of the athletes involved in it as well. I thought we weren't supposed to be sensitive (granted this was DURING THE ACTION OF THE GAME) but Caitlin Clark was called for a technical foul in the middle of the court for pushing our point guard Alex Morris flat on her ass with her elbow. And I watched the game it looked like a frustration shove. That could've fed into the fued that built up to all the John Cena hand gestures at the end too. But yk what the Tigers did they brushed themselves off and found a way to win the game... BUT THIS IS THE CHANNEL THAT SAYS CERTAIN GENERATIONS ARE TOO SENSITIVE... if you've never played sports before I get that you wouldn't get it. But if you haven't and ESPECIALLY if you didn't even bother to tune in to what was TRULY AN INCREDIBLE GAME AND EFFORT FOR BOTH TEAMS... why tf you mad? Like now YOU have the right to judge what happened after the fact?? Angel Reese is definitely now milking this for that NIL attention since it will get her more money probably, but it's not her fault that something she did in passion became a sensation. Good for her for using it. Some of these girls make their money by basically taking their clothes off she's gonna feed off of the medias vibe instead o respect it. But the fact still stands she didn't cross any lines that night with a simple hand gesture. She did the same motion back she didn't put hands on anyone and she said get me fitted for the ring that we just secured. This is CRAZY

There’s a reason there were record viewers this year and it wasn’t this controversy-that added to it insanely after the fact. Caitlin won player of the year, broke a ton of records in the tournament and is just fun to watch. She gets tweeted by NBA players who recognize her skills. She also does a ton with the local children’s hospital in Iowa, which is where she found out she won POTY. I know women’s sports will likely never equal men’s in entertainment, but she makes it pretty darn close in my humble Iowan opinion.

One of the rare times I disagree w Brett. This whole situation is so dramatic. It’s gotta be a slow news week when people are spit fire mad over “sportsmanship”. Physical contests, especially a championship game, gets blood pumping, adrenaline rushing, and emotions raging. This whole interaction should have been left on the court. Not dragged through the media.

[@mesamom62]

The one negative thing to what you say is if the trash talk/sign language continues after the championship game is done, it can spark something negative in a charged situation. Brett is responding a lot to the news coverage, which does make it important. I am old school, so I miss the handshake routine we still teach in Little League and they continue in hockey. And at the end of a football game, I love seeing people from opposing teams greeting one another, leaving the trash talk behind. For those of us who only watch the interviews after games, we have had the pleasure of not noticing classless behavior by sports paragons. Glad I didn't know it was going on.

[@garygablenz337]

This actually went back to before the day before the game was played. In Iowa's semifinal game, they defeated South Carolina, the defending national champion who was undefeated all season until Iowa upset them. South Carolina had more really tall players than most other teams. They liked to lob the ball into the paint, and take very close shots that no defender could block. Iowa has some tall players, but not as many. South Carolina was not nearly as good at outside shooting. Anyway, the Iowa coaches decided their best chance to win would be to pack the paint on defense, to contest the close shots, and just let SC take undefended outside shots. The strategy worked. Iowa won. And right away, Angel Reese started claiming that by using that strategy, Iowa had "disrespected" and "insulted" SC, and that she, Angel Reese, would not "allow" Iowa to do the same to LSU. (Iowa actually had no plan to, because LSU was much better at outside shooting.)

[@patfullenkamp2204]

Some more context that was left out, Caitlin Clark’s “shut up comment you’re down 15” was after Van Lithe said “This is my court b****”. Her hand wave was to Van Lithe after back and forth plays between Caitlin and Van Lithe. Off the court they are friends, on the court they were being competitive in the moment. Reese did it at the end of a game after not even making a game or any trash talk being thrown her way.

That's why they included that clip of Clark crying. Angel does not have to accept an apology she knows is only lip service (nor should she) that is literally her choice as the recipient of the apology. And as other people have said, she kept it on the court basically and gave Clark her props in the post-game jnterview and literally just accused the media (which Brett herself is a part of and now guilty of doing herself) of playing favourites and making her out to be some ghetto bully while Clark is some noble leader when she talks mad shit as well at alot of her games.

Lol you already know dude they'd shrug it off. A because it was HER move to begin with well actually John Cena's but yeah she did it first. So there would be way less controversy objectively since she wouldn't really be RESPONDING to anything she would literally just be doing what SHE ALWAYS DOES just a bit more aggressively and intensely. And B because she is the leagues SWEETHEART everyone expected LSU to lose most people if they weren't fans of either team probably heard CC was gonna lead them to the ring and it didn't happen. It literally doesn't have MUCH to do with race at all to maybe like 70% of the people. The problem is most people didn't watch the game and see how it all transpired in real time without video edits and shit. You heard Brett 9 million watched the game I was one of them. Triple that saw the beef online and now all those clowns have an expert opinion on the whole shabang! No doubt, there ARE SOME people hating on this tall black barbie doll looking girl for beating the white girl next door I'm just being honest. I'm a conservative, but I've lived in Louisiana my whole life. It's the blackest state in the union and believe me it ain't hard to smell the jealousy of racism that stems from the mid west. CC and LSU may meet again in the same game of the bracket allows it's a real possibility. CC wasn't offended or bothered by it I don't see why people who haven't laced up to play one game this season should be either. CC knows how it goes.

[@joemama114]

A player travels across the court, after they had just won the game to gloat and taunt one of their opponents on the other team. There is no world where that's reasonable, there is no way you can argue that is within the spirit of the game or the spirit of competition. Game is over, verdict has been decided, there is no more competition so it's just toxic behavior and it shouldn't be praised.

[@CrazyBMD2]

Those clips of them “trash talking” are from two completely different games. Angel Reese was mocking Caitlin for taunting the Louisville cardinals. When she put up her 40 point triple double.

[@TheJhtlag]

There's so much taking things out of context here

[@Satsuionly]

Brett, the talking heads at ESPN are told what side to take before the broadcast.

[@beswa]

I don’t think Brett understands how far trash talking goes especially in men’s sports, sauce guardner with the cheese head, msu football player going to their opponents locker room to talk some more smack after the game, pre fight fights before boxing and mma events, juju smith schusters before with aj brown weeks after the Super Bowl. I don’t see a problem with angel and Cait even cait didn’t have a problem with it, that’s apart of the game. You can say trash talk after the game is unnecessary but it is extremely common in sports

[@greedygamblerslots]

One time after my team won HS basketball game, I acted similarly after the game as we always shook the other players hands. I acted out like an ass and my coach benched me for two games. As she should have. It was a learning experience. Never acted rudely again. Seems someone needs to Learn manners

While I'm not offended by trash talking (Angel Reese included), I'm not really impressed by it either. I prefer the Tim Duncan approach. He rarely dished out the trash talk, but he could take it like a champ. His opponents would TRY to get under his skin, and it was like picking a fight with a brick wall.

Great video Brett 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@onyekaabasiri5100]

I personally don’t understand why people are pissed at Angel Reese. Caitlin literally trash talked her way through the tournament from the “you can’t see me” to telling the open shooter on SC to shoot by waving her hand” to telling HVL to “shut the f up you’re down by 15.” I personally didn’t hear anyone say she took it “too far.” It’s competition. I hate to say it but Caitlin had it coming. Trash talked all the way to the finals to lose badly in the finals. Caitlin is amazing and great for women’s basketball but the way I see it is she got a taste of her own medicine

[@hmcpimpslap480]

Exactly!!!

[@wizhellrat]

Sport Brett helped me remember a High school event. My high school was known for its book smarts. Our sports teams were not great. One away game we played a rival team at their school. This rival team was a great team. They beat all the local high schools. Of course our team lost. As our team bus was leaving the school. The rival team egged our team bus as they left. They were such sore winners.

[@matthewbless3335]

As an Iowa fan myself, it's actually interesting to me, as I was talking to my brother the night before the LSU game and he was saying that he didn't like how demonstrative CC is. Then all this happened and I think that was legitimately mirrored. Yes, focus is on next year now. If we can replace Czinano and Warnock especially we can certainly get back to the title game, but that said, CC *can* be a little less demonstrative to maybe curb some of this potential bad blood. We can all compete better!

it's really not that serious. Everyone has to remember that people have different competetive natures. Was what Angel did right? No. Was what Caitlin did right? No. If you don't like taunting then you can't get mad at specifics, you have to be mad at all of it or nothing at all. Angel probably had some media storyline drummed up in her head that made her angry or something, but at the end of the day if it was excessive the refs shouldve called a tech.

[@thatsportsguyjason4630]

If you talk trash or do some sort of trash talk gesture, you have to do so knowing that it may get thrown back in your face if an opposing player or team gets one up on you....period. No tears shed for Clark, no extra praise for Reese. It's sports! Everybody, including Brett, needs to relax and just leave it as sports.

[@mikestephens5346]

Yeah, which might make sense had Clark actually done something to Reese to start it but Reese was retaliating for something Clark did against South Carolina, which really had ZERO to do with Reese. That's some weird stuff right there.

[@Jump3RPictur3s]

Bad sportsmanship, bad press, bad look, bad behaviour overall.

[@davidfields2290]

I played football all 4 years in high school and I remember a lot of trash talk in the middle of games, but if anyone from either team sought out a player on the opposing team after the game - win or loss - it was to congratulate them or tell them they played a good game. We may have been on different teams, but there was still a sense of brotherhood and a general love of the sport from both sides.

[@CrazyBlogMoments]

I agree this has nothing to do with race, but instead, it's about class... or lack thereof. I had no idea about this story because I don't watch sports, and I don't care about immature people or race baiters fighting on Twitter! To be honest, I'm glad I got the short version from your channel.

Athletes can be petty during and between matches, ya know it’s actually a great way to drum up attention, think boxing and xfc. I also loathe bringing up racism or race an excuse for having am attitude or a bit of bravado. Let your talent and successes speak for you. So, this was nothing… but, angel is gonna milk as much juice outta this lemon as any hustler can squeeze. This is making silly drama go up a level it’s not worthy of being elevated to.
