Too bad she doesn't care about racism towards white players. In fact, one quick look at her social media presence says she practically ignores it. When someone starts ringing the racism bell, with little or no evidence, accept for a few words like, brawlers and thugs (monkeys i could not find anything anywhere supporting this was ever said) for only one race, that's the time to stop listening to them, because they by definition would be a racist.

I thought South Carolina played a very clean game unlike other teams. Much respect to them!!!

[@arnolddonaldson7129]

Clean game? No. A clean game isn't about missing shots, crashing the boards, and relying on calls not being made. Those assists that Clark continued to make- that is what a clean game is. I think Iowa resembled the Golden State Warriors- I mean clearly not remotely as skilled- but their game was similar. And Golden State has played the "cleanest" basketball of any team. I guess you could argue against Green. But Draymond is an elite passer.

[@aaronfleming9426]

I thought is was a tough, physical, but overall very clean game all around. And the refs were pretty consistent. There was a lot of banging and jostling in the lane, but they weren't calling ticky-tack over the back calls on SC all night like they could have. In the end the foul totals and free throw totals were very even.

[@langston122]

The Iowa coach said it was a bar fight.

[@arnolddonaldson7129]

@@langston122 She meant that as a compliment that the SC coach completely took the wrong way and got on her soap box. It was rather disgusting. When someone says that it's like a bar fight rebounding against you- that means that Iowa highly respected SC's rebounding ability, which they should have. SC killed them on the boards- but Iowa did get some very timely rebounds when it mattered most. In the end, I was very impressed with Clark's offensive game. Her numbers don't look as good as she played because she had defenders on her all game. SC did make her work hard- and that fatigued her. She ended up missing a layup or two due probably to fatigue since SC made her work so hard. I don't watch women's basketball. I watched this game because I wanted to watch something to make the time on the treadmill go faster. So I recorded it and fast forwarded through commercials. I'm really not a fan of women's basketball- or any women's sport. But Clark is an exception. I've seen women like Griner dominate due to size. But I don't think I have seen a woman the height of Clark be the center piece of a good offense. SC is very good- they are elite. And Iowa took them out. Perhaps if this game was played 10 times SC would win 7 or 8. Which is what make's Clark's performance that much more impressive- having success against a team the quality of SC. I haven't followed Staley. She obviously is a good coach. But doesn't she have a history of making certain things about race? I don't know how she turned a bar fight compliment into monkeys. That's on Staley.

Who's judging them by the color of their skin? If you're a bully, you're a bully. Even kids know that.

[@krystalrice513]

it’s not rocket science to know that when claims are made like this.. yes it’s because of their skin. Dawn said it herself, if you actually got to know those girl, the BIAS that surrounds the media and the words they use would be different. Therefore, they are judging them by their skin

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@krystalrice513 - Saying "it's not rocket science" when the actual complexity of humanity and social interactions aren't analyzed with critical thinking, fact-checking, and accurate quotes IS what proves her accusations as weak. Or false. Try this on for size: A person can be a generally likeable character away from the court, but character flaws can come out in the heat of competition. An unsportsmanlike word spoken, a push, bullying attempts. So, "if you actually got to know those girl" isn't so cut and dry. Comprende? You didn't make much of a case at all.

@@machtnichtsseimann Because living in THIS country.. knowing how they treat black women in sports… IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. it doesn’t take much critical thinking to understand what they are trying to do with the words they used. I know some of those players and they in fact are not bullies. They are respectful women who just want to play this game.. THATS IT. They talk shit and they are physical, that doesn’t make them bullies. Staley has her teams back and won’t put up with the “unconscious” bias that really isn’t so unconscious at all.

[@lukecage3485]

Staley is a hypocritical bigot. She canceled their game against BYU, which should've been a forfeit, over an alleged racial epithet that never happened, claimed by black Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson after a game against BYU, and her racist aunt, Lesa Pamplin, a criminal attorney in Ft Worth, TX. It was proven never to have happened but Staley still cnaceled the game and smeared BYU and their fans as "racists" when in fact it is her and her player that are the racists. She has zero class.

@@justin6681 Umm, dude, they tried meeting her at mid court. But fact is, Iowa was small and fast and SC was big and slow. Iowa ran them out of the gym. Fast breaks, drives to the hoop, logo threes, perfectly executed give-and-go and pick and roll...and then the fact that SC had a truly awful 3-point shooting percentage. Personally, I'd never seen SC play before but my first thought on seeing Boston's first minute of action was "holy cow that lady is slow, she is going to struggle against Iowa". And she did.
