It's definitely not just an Iowa thing. But when Iowa fans keep getting into it with black players (especially ones who are very popular and have large fan bases) the perception of it being a problem with Iowa fans only becomes reality.

Really, Iowa fans only?! I get it, but you can’t combat, hypocrisy, stupidity and lack of awareness. Smart folks know the difference….

Now if your argument is people get more stupid, more blind and more unaware by the day, then you’d have an audience w/me. But the Truth is people are so self-involved that conservation wouldn’t encompass little Ole Iowa very long.

As I’ve said many, many times we are naturally selfish, prideful, bigoted, prejudiced and woefully unaware of anything outside our circle of care…..

You, (YOU, me, everyone) has to force themselves to care and it doesn’t stop at Cotie, or Angel or “black people” it’s an all day, everyday thing.

The fact we are having this conversation about “racist” Iowa only furthers my point. People only care what they care about…

We have a sad world and we are sad people. Think bigger 🤷‍♂️
 
It is definitely more common with our fan base. Mostly because we have a higher percentage of white players (and white fans) so we tend to fall on that side of the cultural conversation. But you're right, morons gonna moron.

No, that’s a perception. Until you begin to realize the human stain is in everyone, you will always think this. There is no one righteous, no one….

Every significant society lead by (you pick the gender or race)has abused their power or position. Be my guest, label. People as racist just know the people you’re defending have it in them.

If you say no, the battle is already lost 🤷‍♂️

Make this easy. Is it cool to call someone a ghetto thug? And in general, what does it mean? And please don’t take me back to Hitler Germany. What in the modern world does it mean?

Look, you know more than me (I tried, at one time being nice, really I did, and now just being a dick 😊) you can’t police people. Just don’t say it yourself 🤷‍♂️, I don’t and I’m fully aware of my own crimes of prejudice, I would wager his aren’t worse than most. Most likely he’s just an insensitive ass, like many on here.

I do understand your point and we agree, all the same, do better than him. Him being a prejudiced ass doesn’t reflect me, does it you? Or I should say anymore than any other human being reflects on me?

I get it you don’t want me being philosophical, on such a seemingly important issue, but as people tell me all the time (and they are right, I just don’t care 🤪) fix yourself….

That’s my soap box for the night. I told him she wasn’t a ghetto thug, didn’t I!? I honestly don’t remember? 🤓

Is it worse to be a ghetto thug than a shitty, petty, impetuous ass who makes up slights and can’t control their emotions 🤷‍♂️

I’ll give you this, she’s 22, she has a chance to be better, he’s probably 50 and doesn’t care to be better😕
 
Like it or not, because of Caitlin Clark Iowa fans are now the flagship of perception. Ground zero for every bit of it. Doesn't matter if it happens elsewhere (even though there aren't examples).

I don't even wear the gear anymore. People need to do better, be bigger.
 
So someone may have misspelled the bitch's name why spaz out.
You got screws loose dude ... some young women who is loaded with competitive fire simply suggests that Iowa disrespected them ... and then stupid fans go apeshit? Puhleeze ... get over yourself! You know that even coaches make up shit about the other team sometimes in order to get their team fired up. There's a reason why there's something known as "locker room material" ... teams look for it in order to give themselves an edge in games.

That's just the nature of competition.

The fact that Iowa fans here are racializing things ... and yes, some of you are doing so whenever you wield loaded terms like "ghetto"-whatever. Furthermore, marginalizing another person by referring to them as a bitch ... totally uncalled for and inappropriate. Good job flaunting your asshole card ... at least you earned that one. Cotie did not there ... although Cotie herself wasn't so classy in giving Maryland fans the bird. Cotie can fairly get called out for that ... but little more.

Anyhow, part of the beef that a team might have may relate to fanbases. For better or worse, the Iowa fanbase is gaining some notoriety. I some cases, that notoriety is getting spun in a very negative light as it relates to ethnocentric biases. Much like I like I view Chris Doyle ... I don't think that most of y'all are racist ... however, I'm willing to wager that most of y'all are prone to saying stupid shit. Sometimes you put your collective feet in your mouths ... and definitely comes out sounding racist ... even if the intent may have been far from it. For god sakes be a little bit more reflective regarding the things you do and say - whether you talking face-to-face with another person ... OR you are anonymously interacting on the internet. Your anonymity is not a valid excuse for being rude, disrespectful, and behaving in shitty manner. Grow the f... up, please! :)

I just took it to mean it was trashy when she threw up the middle fingers. Evidently more racially oriented than I realized… your guys’ opinion has been borne out when he called her a bitch. My bad!

Yeah, interesting thought here on the “bitch” comment. My dad who has been dead eight years and I miss him dearly wasn’t a terrific role model when I was younger and often called my mom a bitch. It’s honestly not something I use in my lexicon, surely I’ve slipped up at some point in time in my life that I’m not remembering, but I think my wife would vouch for me that, that is something. I’ve never called her if but maybe a very few times.

I don’t like the word and I don’t even call people I don’t like that.🤷‍♂️
 
That kind of language is racist virtue signalling. The Ricosuaves of the world know exactly what they are doing, right down to the predictable snowflake follow up. If we don't call it out, we become complicit

Same thing happened with left wing woke language-facists until people started saying it wasn't okay to deatroy people's lives just because they weren't on the cutting edge of whatever politically correct behavior was adopted that week.

Both sides have their playbook to inflict control, and it is incumbent upon reasonable people to call this stuff out, on both sides, every time.

Both sides, every time? As a self proclaimed reasonable person you must be extremely busy given this target rich environment.

Cootie is trash.
 
LSU fans? Maryland? Not doubting you at all just never remember them. However, full disclosure, I wasn’t a full on women’s basketball fan/investigative reporter 😂 at that point in time so I probably wouldn’t have….As far as her basketball skills hell maybe she hasn’t, her shooting is poor, hell her form even after all the work Lisa Leslie put in still reverts back to looping the ball up under hand often and just throwing up wild shots….. the difference is she is a sensational rebounder one of the best of all time. What is Cotie sensational at, running people over…

And some probably won’t find this popular, but I don’t find Angel to be near as big a shithead as this girl. Angel is ordinarily the kind of player I would get behind because of her hard work and her dedication to the craft of rebounding. The circus that comes with her can sometimes be a lot.
Well she did get the boot at Maryland, (basically told to look elsewhere) because of her stupendous 1.4 GPA
 
Hey, she is 19 maybe 20 years old. The regular season and tournament are over. We will not see the Buckeyes ( which is my least favorite team in the conference) until 2026. Why are so many obsessed with a young lady none of you have never met? Get a life, folks! A measure of a person is what makes he or she angry....
She'll be 21 in a few weeks.....
 
So if she was white and we were calling her redneck trailer trash would you be pulling the R card?

I still wouldn’t do this but, your point, in today’s society has merit. It’s interesting to me, and I mean this in an intellectual way, where suddenly we diverged in society from just being a piece of shit or having shitty moments to things always have to be racist.

A person who hates everyone and continually does shitty things isn’t better than a supposed racist🤷‍♂️ it’s an odd thing to me.
 
Geezus....are you all still yapping about "Cody"??? Good grief. Before you tell me "I don't have to read it"......I didn't.
