It was the first weekend of the new season in Major League Baseball, plus there was Wrestlemania and a host of college football spring games, but the big story coming out of Sunday was the women’s college basketball national championship. If only the story was the actual game itself and not the awful officiating or the exhausting culture war nonsense that followed.
In case you were lucky enough to miss the discourse on Twitter, at the end of their win LSU star Angel Reese taunted Iowa’s Caitlin Clark ala John Cena.
If it wasn’t “classless” when Caitlin Clark did it, don’t call it classless when Angel Reese does it. Let the women compete, it’s sports!! pic.twitter.com/lJpS1NId68

Even though Clark did the exact same thing one week ago, alot of people jumped up and cried CLASSLESS in one loud, hive-minded voice.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith joined the fray and hit the nail on the head, calling the fake outcry ridiculous.
Literally the same gesture.. the fake outcry is ridiculous. Let those young lady’s celebrate what they EARNED https://t.co/X1CCHLODMV

Smith shared several other tweets on the subject, dunking on a paid blue checkmark along the way.
Lol man I remember Richard Sherman calling receivers trash after he shut them down.. he earned the right to do so.. don’t like it, WIN it’s that’s simple https://t.co/Rgpo1Dmhs0

Caitlyn Clark is a baller but LSU won the game.. if/when the shoe is on the other foot she has the right to talk her 💩
That’s sports – the unnecessary shots at the young lady is what makes it more than what it is
