all-black team loses to all-White team in the ncaa finals, so what happens? The coach of the black team finds racism to complain about! Gee, didn’t see that one coming.
Dawn Staley, coach of the south carolina women’s basketball team who just lost to iowa in the ncaa final has decided that comments made by certain (White) people about her team were “racist”:

Here are a couple of the comments in question:
“coach Lisa Bluder said someone described rebounding against south carolina to her as ‘going to a bar fight.’ She wasn’t the first coach to make comments about the gamecocks’ style of play. uconn coach Geno Auriemma criticized south carolina’s physicality after the huskies lost to it in february.
I usually don’t watch women’s basketball but intrigued I watched the game on youtube:

Instead of the usual boredom I feel when watching women’s bball, I found myself caught up in this game because of the sheer physicality and competitive drive on display. I can certainly see why people likened playing s. carolina to a bar fight, they had a center and a wing that stood at 6’ 7,” and were clearly bigger and stronger at every position than iowa but iowa had Caitlin Clark, a slender, quicksilver guard who scored 41 points (over half her team’s points) and dished out 8 assists, along with 6 rebounds. The bruisers on s. carolina tried to exploit their size and strength advantage with physical play but iowa didn’t back down one iota, and were able to keep s. carolina from dominating with sheer size.
How is describing a physical team as “physical” racist in any way? They are a big, physical team that uses size to establish position and control the game with physicality. Saying it’s like a bar fight isn’t racist, just a little verbal embellishment. But of course a black coach bitter about losing, can’t gracefully accept losing to a bunch of honkeys, so she has to play the race card.

Clark is a 6 foot 155 lb Whitey--who's a great shooter(I saw highlights),but if I gave up watching ncaa March( nig )madness,I'd never watch a female version.Clark is something though.Unfortunately LSU annihilated Iowa in the finals,though Clark had 30 points.I THINK she still has eligibility for another couple years?A Whitey to watch,though you wonder when the blacks will get HER like they got the White nba'er in Boston.

Gordon Hayward was his name.I'm sure Clark has taken out insurance against black attack ON and off the court already--at least I hope so.She SOUNDS woke however--which doesn't matter to baboon women players,she's WHITE.
