Despite All This Team Has Done For Women's BB & Athletics, The Entire, Grifting, DEI Platform Wants Iowa to Lose Today

[Here_4_a_Day]

Let's celebrate women's basketball. Let's also do better by its players.

So many good things are happening in women's basketball at this NCAA tournament. But racism, misogyny and the unequal playing field continue to creep in.

Of course......

 

[HawkeyeinOmaha]

"Iowa trailed throughout". This joker didn't even watch the game.

 

[ICHerky]

Pathetic, ridiculous, always looking for something to bitch about. Must be aggrieved, always, about something.

 

[CookyMonster]

Here's an idea, stop paying attention.

“We need to be better”

Author needs to be better

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Iowa's antiquated style of fielding mostly heterosexual caucasian women that hail from flyover country isn't how the enlightened elite prefer to view progress.

You must be new to the Iowa way, huh, boy? We don't let folks get in our shit without getting hit!

It’s one author. Not going to let that bother me. My guess is 70% of people watching will be rooting for the Hawkeyes to win. The underdog finishing an epic college career and filling every box of being the goat even as ex players try to create more imaginary hurdles for her to be claimed the goat.

If Caitlin & Co. actually pull this off, the blue bloods and DEI woksters will be...

...at least on the inside.

Is it the "whiteness" and "straightness" all by themselves, or is it partly the fact {ALL} of Iowa's players graduate and turn out the be citizens and humans rather hillbillys? I would wager that Hannah "Hulk" Stuelke, Iowa's next superstar, has more computing power than the entire LSU team and staff combined!

They don't understand why Caitlin is able to garner so much attention when great players before that were predominantly black did not. For example what is the difference of Aliyah Boston and Clark, not a whole lot. Both beasts at their positions, intelligent, work hard at their crafts, and Boston as extremely articulate. However, Boston gained a ton of attention, but nothing that Clark is doing. Whether jealousy or not - I think they see it as a bit of a carnival side show but the argument has always been that she wouldn't be able to win (lets not talk about the talent disparity. Clark has nailed the midwest persona off the court, neighbor next door feel, while being an assassin on the court. She has garnered imagination, awe, comradery, jealousy, envy and hatred. Its quite the dichotomy. Even still she is a Hawkeye and I hope she wins the final game, but it diminishes nothing in my mind what she has been able to achieve.

What could possibly explain why someone who has averaged 28.4 career PPG has received more fanfare than someone that averaged 14.1 PPG? Must be their race!

Many call Caitlin the female Steph Curry because she takes longer 3s than any female player we’ve ever seen. Is Curry only popular because of his race? Maybe I’m crazy, but I think people might just enjoy watching that style of play, regardless of the player’s race?

I’m a liberal and this is the sh** that sets real liberalism back. It’s so bigoted, it’s almost MAGA.

Oh, and OP is not an Iowa fan and he/it sucks.

They want you to hit them. You've never seen Seven?

It turns independents away from the liberal side

Lick my brown streak.......liberally..........

The irony is that it’s quite illiberal. It’s the horseshoe theory: so out on the fringe it’s more like MAGA with dog whistles (and overt racism) over Black coaches and players.

MAGA..MAGA..MAGA...can't forget Trump for 30 seconds, can you, you little worm?

So, I read the article ... it's not as bad as the reaction here to it. Certainly not to Iowa IMO.

It did compare AR's "trash talk" to CC's, as if all trash talk is the same. It's not. It mentions a "dubious call", It wasn't.

But I didn't read anything the led me to think it was from the "DEI platform". It didn't say anything about wanting Iowa to lose. Where is the "left v right" in that article?

Sorry, I'm not going to get all worked up about that article.
