I can’t believe a bunch of grown men in their feelings about a little trash talk 🤦🏾‍♀️ Sports & Trash talk go together like peanut butter & jelly. Society has gotten sooo soft. We are NOT removing trash talk from sports because of some hurt feelings. Reese did nothing wrong. Clark is a great player & honestly deserves a better fan base. They’re coddling her & speaking for her likes she’s weak.

Neither one of them did anything wrong. It’s a sport’s competition. Get over it. Congrats LSU.

Don't spark a conversation now!!! It was cool when that Clark chic was doing it. Angel will be the female Iverson! She about to change rules!

Hand Wave… It’s called “ U Can’t See Me” aka Peacemaker… Plus Clark started it

[siahease]

Don’t start no stuff won’t be no stuff. If you can’t take it don’t dish it. GET OUT if you can’t handle the heat 🎉🎉

It’s cool when they do it. It’s a problem when we do it. Make it Make Sense

[emilylouden]

I don’t get it, she just wasn’t throwing punches or doing anything slandering … if the Iowa girl let her get into her head during a game that’s on her

[rickeymeadows]

When the young lady of color gave it back to the cocky Clark, there is now a problem. Just knock it off, people it's just a sporting event. If the referees didn't have a problem with it, then just sit down and enjoy the game.😊

Iowa maga fans acting like Reese chased Clark down & shot her 😂

Great Rivalry! Many more years rivalry between them. See them in WNBA.
