“All year, I was critiqued about who I was,” Reese said. “I don’t fit in a box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood. I’m too ghetto. But when other people do it, y’all say nothing. So this was for the girls that look like me, that’s going to speak up on what they believe in. It’s unapologetically you.” ~ #AngelReese 🏀 #GEAUX #LSU #NationalChampionship #UnapologeticallyBlack #SeeMeOutside #KeepTheSameEnergy #AlwaysBetOnBlack #BayouBarbie

Ken, one of the girls didn’t even see this until the media mentioned it. This is being blown up whilst Both players are competing at their fullest.

My understand is waving the hand infront of the face indicates "you cant see me". There must have been an incident where the black athlete was criticized and a time the white athlete was praised for the same gesture. I can see that happening.

I agree with Angie. It seems to be a part of today's game for most players.

chasing a player to do it her face is weak. Clark didn't follow an opponent around the court. If you are going to tell a story ..then tell the complete story.
