Amidst the jubilation following LSU’s NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship victory, star player Angel Reese defended a gesture she made towards rival Caitlin Clark. This came after a viral video circulated showing Reese seemingly mimicking Clark’s signature ‘I can’t believe it’ pose in celebration of her team’s triumph. Reese subsequently clarified that the gesture was not intended to be mocking but rather an expression of genuine excitement and admiration for her opponent. She emphasized that she felt targeted and unfairly judged due to the double standard often applied to female athletes, particularly when comparisons are made between opposing players.
