Caitlin Clark defends Angel Reese after 'You can't see me gesture'

The women's final was on Sunday, but LSU's championship, the first in program history, has been far from what people seem to be talking about the most.

Why does EVERYBODY keep saying that the hand gesture “can’t see me” is John Sena’s? Tony Yayo started that gesture and Sena jacked it from him.

We all know that no one is allowed to upset a white woman

[boondoggle]

If it wasn’t for Reese doing that gesture and the regular non-sports media reporting on it, I wouldn’t be paying any attention to women’s basketball. The controversy she generated is benefiting all the players because it causes people like me who weren’t tuned in at all and had no interest in college basketball to pay attention.

Clark did the gesture to her strength coach not the other team - her own opponent (the alleged victim of Clark’s gesture confirmed that) and called the media “dumb”. 😂😂😂. So here they are still repeating the lie.

I am just genuinely happy for Clark and all her accomplishments so far! Most importantly I am happy she is taking the last laugh these last couple of months and she is gonna continue having the best laugh.

[charissetaylor]

Double standards to its truest form. Reese gave Clark back the same gesture. Still, to this day, they are still vilfying Reese. Can we say Emmett Till, Tulsa, etc, as in no rhyme or reason for the attacks but the perceived notion a White woman was attacked.

If it’s done towards an opponent it’s disrespectful and usually a technical foul. That’s why when Caitlyn did it it wasn’t controversial, it wasn’t aimed at an opponent.

Can I just point out that the whole hand wave thing angel reese did was in response to Clark doing it to her first. If I recall correctly the internet was upset that angel reese caught so much slack for doing it while Clark’s doing so, and first might I add was called “being competitive.” Clark was praised when she did it. Angel was criticized for doing it back. Even Clark said that it was bullshit.

[stevekearney]

I wonder if Clark will be returning for another year or maybe two - she is one of the few that can take it to that special level @ such a young age.

[LeeAnn]

Oh so Clark did it as well. Smh, America and their typical bias.

[bianncasretardstrength]

She couldn't see angel Reese. Whats the issue

[mymansanem]

Angel Reese makes more money, is a team player that sacrifices personal accolades for the team.. Caitlin may have better personal stats but the ultimate reason you play the game is to win a chip. when has caitlin won? Jr. High? maybe..

[father_time_the_]

Blame John Cena and the WWE for there influence on American youth .

[farhanabdulhamid]

Wow wow wow and Sister Family and all happy yes U.S. Family

[Texastomfoolery]

Angel Reese's version lacked a bit of class as compared to Caitlyn's, let's be honest

[sliceoflife]

There's a very distinct difference on how Caitlin did it and how the self proclaimed "ghetto hood" did it. If you can't see the difference, then you're lost. Context matters. And good on the classy Caitlin to let it roll off. She knows she's a winner and it shows

[zbighugh]

I thought that gesture came from Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.'

[primuspilus]

She be a black Dylan Mulvaney. Omg, da drama....

[ciscokid]

Reese was doin it to her face while Iowa's player was doin it for the just

[thereal_notoriousakagdubb]
