She apparently had a call and said it was a good one but said she would let Clark say what was talked about if her wanted to reveal the details.All I could tell from that article, since it's behind a paywall, is that she apologized to CC for being mistaken about it being her fifth year when it is only her fourth.
Did she also acknowledge the error in her age and how many shot attempts per game?
Guess she doesn't have what it takes to just butch up and admit her mistakes publicly.She apparently had a call and said it was a good one but said she would let Clark say what was talked about if her wanted to reveal the details.
Angel Reese got the call set up. She was the one who said Swoopes needed to make it right. In any case I’m glad it’s done with.Guess she doesn't have what it takes to just butch up and admit her mistakes publicly.
Can Iowa fans leave their triggered feelings behind and move on now?
But but but the 30-70 yr olds in our fanbase need to take to social media to get their shots in to show that they've "got Iowa's back".Yes, she made a mistake and apologized...nobody died.
Move on.
For now, won't be long before we're triggered again🤷♀️Can Iowa fans leave their triggered feelings behind and move on now?
Don’t cross streams.
She earned the criticism, she should watch how true professionals prepare and maybe she should learn to have some grace when the shit hits the fan.But but but the 30-70 yr olds in our fanbase need to take to social media to get their shots in to show that they've "got Iowa's back".
Hard to do that if they just........move on.
And?She earned the criticism, she should watch how true professionals prepare and maybe she should learn to have some grace when the shit hits the fan.
Nothing but saving face. Was she sincere? Not likely considering she had to use the on court stalker to make contact with CC instead of owning it and making amends one on one![]()

Some of you miserable people will just never be happy. Be like Elsa andNothing but saving face. Was she sincere? Not likely considering she had to use the on court stalker to make contact with CC instead of owning it and making amends one on one
What is the matter with some you old idiots?Never seen a fat middle aged lesbian apologize for anything. That's a new one.
Yeah if she only apologized for the one comment, then It's no good. A start, but incomplete. The fact that she waited this long, and only after lots of outrage and the "Don't be a Sheryl" shirt, tells me that she only backtracked because she had to. However, all that matters is that Caitlin is okay with it after their conversation. If she's good with it, then my opinion is even more irrelevant than usual... 😂All I could tell from that article, since it's behind a paywall, is that she apologized to CC for being mistaken about it being her fifth year when it is only her fourth.
Did she also acknowledge the error in her age and how many shot attempts per game?
Not really, since she clearly is only apologizing because she feels she has to after the outrage. I don't believe it's sincere at all.Can Iowa fans leave their triggered feelings behind and move on now?
Well said. Clark has been unbelievable how she’s handled this entire process from the end of last year to now. What grace under pressure. While I’d agree there’s been a lot of venom thrown her way she’s also gotten a ton of kudos from the likes of LeBron and Shaq which is pretty great company, 2 of the greatest to ever play the game. Rise above people and quit being so outraged over it all. Swoopes was off base, way off base and certainly made her look out of touch. Credit to Angel if she actually had her reach out to Caitlin.Yeah if she only apologized for the one comment, then It's no good. A start, but incomplete.

We like to see truth, black and white. Facts.What is the matter with some you old idiots?
Exactly!It sure sounds like she had a text message exchange with CC, not a phone call. Also, I don't see any apology. I see she said "I made a mistake", which is not an apology.
Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.Don’t cross streams.
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say............. YES!!!Don’t cross streams.
