*clutches pearls* women’s NCAA basketball is of a sudden as interesting as men’s bb because they are owning their space and communicating in a way that demonstrates their rage and passion and competitiveness. They’re not paid at all, but if they were, they aren’t being paid to be your child’s role model.
Anyone who isn’t more outraged over the fact that these women aren’t being paid than over their communication styles should examine their priorities. And anyone not searching their heart for why it all of a sudden matters to tell Angel Reese to act like a lady—but not Caitlin Clark—needs to go do some serious soul searching.
I have never once in my life heard “act like a lady” directed at me when it wasn’t about limiting me, denying me opportunity, separating me from my right to express myself as loudly as any man, and enforcing the bars around my cage.
1) Fuck that.
2) there are worse role models than John Cena, a man noted for his dedication to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
3) Play ball.
