Whoopi Goldberg on The View about Angel Reese

Obviously, but there is no self-reflection that she is her own biggest enemy. Has she come about and atoned for her past behaviors? It contrasts brightly with the class that Caitlin shows. Many people have egged Caitlin on about the rivalry and she always takes the high road. I don't think Reece has the quality of support system to handle this fame.
I think that's fair
 
Angel wants push her ring finger into someone's face and play the badass and then turn around and then play the victim whenever she gets backlash. She can't have her cake and eat it too. Complaining about being sexualized? Why take all the sexual photoshoots then? She a confused young lady going about things the wrong way and needs some self reflection.

I agree with you on the sexualization part. Don't do bikini photoshoots and complain about being sexualized.

That said no one deserves to get death threats. The only time I find it funny is if people who issue death threats or threats of violence get them. I don't think she threatened violence or death upon anyone. She doesn't deserve death threats.
 
I'm very pleased that my daughters didn't grow up to be aggrieved women always playing the feminist angle. The women of The View are off-putting. An air of militancy when it comes to women's issues.
Sounds like your ex and their step dad did a good job, then.

Jfc stfu with the maga Trump stuff in one bleeping thread you flipping mindless drone! There's clearly posters in this thread that have the ability to have an opinion on the topic that has nothing to do with politics or Trump so seriously get a grip.
It's a common trait with them and how about No.

But you like him when you like his opinion.

Makes sense.
Exactly. See that's how normal non polically obsessed people think. I can disagree with much of Achos opinions, but when he says something I think makes sense, I can look past my past disagreements with him and give credit when he's right. That's what being open minded means. You really should try it.
 
It's sad that good basketball got twisted into race. Are we going to go after Gabby for being interracial or Hannah for having white parents? This country is f'd up and I guess the bandage has been torn wide open. Racism never went away and now like a shit soup keeps bubbling to the top. Disgusting.
 
No doubt, and I agree to an extent. I just remember when I was 20 and it was hard to just let "bygones be bygones". Hell, I'm 33 now and it's still hard to only worry about what I can control. Now add in the possibility of death threats? Shit man, that would be terribly hard to just "accept and move on". Maybe it's how I'm wired or maybe it has more to do with immaturity on my part.

There's people in this thread who are basically saying she deserves it. Look at the hoops @onlyTheObvious is trying to jump through to justify his thinking that it's no big deal a young woman is receiving death threats.
Good stuff. All I can say is I am damn glad I am not a teenager or young adult in the social media age.
 
Everything you said regarding Angel Reese is 100% accurate.
People can never see their part in anything. Ever.

Last year, idiots made a basketball game about race because the Iowa women had the audacity to win while white. It was just completely disrespectful to the game of basketball. 🙄

Basketball players trash talk. Angel Reese does it. Caitlin Clark does it. People lose their minds over the former.

NIL has really ****ed up college sports. The worst part of it is how it has affected young people as human beings. From Kayden Proctor’s flakiness to Angel Reese’s self-promotion and lack of self-awareness, most kids this age can’t handle all of it responsibly.

The other issue here is bad (or nonexistent) parenting and bad mentorship (i.e. Kim Mulkey). I don’t know how Angel Reese was parented but I am pretty sure Caitlin Clark had good ones. You can see the difference it makes in how she conducts herself in public.

I am open minded within reasonable parameters.

I also can see many sides of the same issue. Most people who post on here cannot. They are hypocrites. And tend to be MAGAts.
 
Law enforcement would grind to a halt if all social media death threats were taken seriously and investigated.

That’s a fact. You don’t have to like it but pretending every death threat is going to be taken seriously is naive.
We've had posters wish death on other posters on this board :)

I wouldn't consider them legit death threats.
 
I can see both sides. No one deserves death threats. People who do that are scum.

I do think if she had beat Iowa she wouldn't have said shit in her press conference. She's a good bully and struggles in the role of loser.

I think this will always be an issue for her because she doesn't have the ability to shut down social media.

In this situation, how has race been twisted in? Are you saying people would feel differently if AR was white?
 
1. Angel Reese won't go in the top 5 of this year's draft.
2. Angel Reese looked out of shape and jogged back on defense on numerous occasions vs. Iowa.
3. Angel Reese isn't going to get half of her points off offensive rebound put back like she does now.
4. Angel Reese isn't going to be nearly as dominant down low in the WNBA, and she hasn't really developed an outside game so to speak of at all in her collegiate career.

5. I predict Angel Reese will be more of a culture cancer than anything at her next phase in life. Her work ethic will continue to fade, she'll get traded within her first few years, she'll double down on her victim narrative once she because a total has been and will use that to continue to garner attention for her pathetic self.

Death threats are absolutely uncalled for and she does not deserve that. Neither does she deserve racist attacks. Being called out on her behavior is fair game in my opinion, but you don't need to threaten her life or call her racist things. Just like Clark gets called out for her behavior, for better or worse.

As for point number 2, I'm wondering if this is a consequence of the ankle injury. I don't think that the ankle injury was terrible, but it may have made running more painful. On the other hand, Iowa made a conscious decision to run the hell out of them and I don't think she was the only player on LSU to look tired in the second half.

Clark gets called out for her behavior, but she doesn't then proceed to play a victim card over and over about it. Don't compare apples to oranges. There's very little comparison between these two athletes.

Don't be defensive, just embrace your idiocy. You are a laughable trumpty.

I wasn't comparing the two of them, I was just clarifying what I meant by "getting called out". I wasn't even saying I agree with it as I think most of the criticisms against Clark are just people looking for a reason to try and diminish her since they know there isn't an argument with her play on the court and how she handles herself off the court they can make a reasonable argument on. Instead, they've coalesced around this whining thing, something that I see happen on every court and in every league above high school level. But everyone has their favorite player for whatever reason and they have to make a case I guess.

Nobody sent her death threats, she's pulling another Jessie Smollett
