I feel like LSU and Iowa are bringing out people’s real feelings about life not just sports
Bringing out ? Racist whites already acting on their hate... you just haven't been paying attention
As a white guy I was appalled to learn that black babies have 3x mortality rate with white doctors vs black doctors. The same discrepancy does not occur with black doctors .. Google it. .. someone will say I'm pushing hate for telling the truth !!!!
Couldn't agree with you more.
Yep
Orange Man
💯💯💯
The article pretty much tried to incite some type of culture war like what
Wait till the game tonight gon look like civil war 2
Oh ffs she enabled her team to be classless and disrespectful and they got called out for it. Maybe hop off the victim parade for 30 seconds and learn how to take accountability for your own behavior. Nobody is talking about any other teams as “good vs evil”, and that’s not a coincidence, and it’s certainly not racism or sexism.
media? incite? NAAAWWW
4 ucla starters are black
@@Rushking20nah fr Iowa and Louisiana, and I’m from Mississippi and have felt that lsu and Iowa last year had more to do with white vs black then actually basketball, and both teams are great and loving
Good vs Evil? How did that get passed the editor?
Fr 😂 and LA Times publishing it is WILD 😂
The Editor(s) believed that nonsense obviously
Welk the " good" in this case were mostly black just like the " evil" was so how is this racist?
@@jusbertmeza4424its la times, what yall expect lmao
@@soda8736 but It’s still a crazy title for a sports page
Milk and Cookies vs Hot Sauce... not only was it sexist, it was straight up racist. guess they just let anyone become a writer nowadays. Big up Hailey Van Lith for being real about the article. Mulkey, even though she called it out, didn't blast the racist portion of it.
Bingo!!!
Her players need to tell her to address the racist part of it.
@@millionairemillennial86nah. It’s her job to do it. Black ppl shouldn’t have to point out racism to white ppl. She’s not dumb.
Because y’all are obsessed with race?
Like Unc pointed out, they may as well have gone full-on Don Imus. They crossed the threshold, just used more “flowery” language. Fkn disgusting
The “ bosses” must of told them not to use the word racism lol.
😂🎯💯
Bbbbbb Bingo!!!!
I googled it, and my SafeSearch wouldn’t even render it. LA Times is DISGUSTING for that article
I Googled it without safe search and dirty debutantes is "XXXXXX" rated, if you get my meaning.
My wife thought I was googling spank material when I googled it smh
Yeah, I got adult film results too.
Just googled it. Jesus Christ, people need to chill.
It led to phub
I agree with Shannon - Kim Mulkey has her problems, but this was uncalled for. And never, ever, ever say that kind of nasty stuff about the athletes. (And I'm an Iowa fan).
That's the thing that's so crazy. You can dislike a team without being sexist and racist, but apparently that was too much to ask for for the dude who wrote this initial column. Sheesh.
I am genuinely curious, what problems does Kim Mulkey have? I think Shannon only said he was not a fan of hers. From my personal perspective the only thing people do not like about her is her lack of filter. I don't see that as a problem but her personality, which is OK for anyone to dislike or not be a fan of. Thanks, and good luck tonight!
GOD said white men is devil people need just see that as fact attacking young women its pure evil
@@NicholasNewbilland ima fan of kim from a bball perspective but outside of that idk it'd shaky brother

LSU players should sue the LA times for slandering there names
💯💯💯
Yeah the problem with that is to win a slander lawsuit you need to prove what was said was wrong. All the LA Times would need to do is show a highlight reel of LSU players taunting their opponents and the judge would throw the case out.
Mulkey is trash and recruits players of the same mentality. Mulkey is one of the most disgusting people, as a person, to ever coach. Anybody that plays for her now knowing her history, it says a lot about them & nothing good. She is pure scum.
I would!
They'd have to get in line
They should’ve put the writer on blast
Thats what i mean. Put the name out there
@@s.k.o.e.2191Ben Bolch beat writer for ucla. As an alumn and huge supporter of our basketball program I’m disgusted and appalled. Let’s get this clown fired. I can take over the column 💯✍🏽
Is it the writer alone? I think the editor owes some explanation and is definitely culpable.
@user-jh5wv3oo1l sure, but letting it pass by your desk is not the same level of awful as spending your time writing it up. What's going on in that creeps mind?
I mean the writer wrote it, but it went through mamy levels saying it was okay im more mad at the editors and the paper in general.
Unfortunately, anyone w/sense saw this brewing last yr after LSU’s title. Vilifying LSU, Angel Reese & co & glorying Clarke. Both ladies are competitors & it should be left at that smh 💯
LSU players definitely played up the antics to earn that villain label. It happens all the time in college basketball, strong team with players leaning into the antics gets hate. The most well known are usually the white guy on Duke teams, Christian Laettner, JJ Redick, Grayson Allen, etc. Those guys played it up and were the villains.
@@limitedbom2206 They adopted that stance only after it was clear that the main focus was NOT on them & all predicated upon the lower seed in Iowa & Caitlyn Clark. Don’t blame them for feeling disrespected if or when their team was better all season long w/less media coverage. Merely pointing out the media creates all of this-Case & Point. Media is/was out of line for this article here
@@limitedbom2206 They played up to it no more than Clark herself did. Clark's antics are numerous and recorded for anybody to see. That said, Clark herself was never the problem. She's a great player and competitor and she never had a problem w/ LSU, as she herself said. Her fans are another story...
@@keenannorris3309 I agree, Caitlin did the same thing. I think people let her slide because she was a major underdog going up against a powerhouse team. I don't remember an underdog showboating getting hate in the past so it doesn't surprise me. At least, that's my guess.
@@ShadomanG It's not surprising though, all the media attention went to the girl carrying her teams offense game after game. Then that iowa team ran into a brick wall in LSU. But that definitely pushed that label more in my opinion. When the clearly superior team smacks the underdog down and then starts antagonizing them/the fans, it is a one way ticket to villain status.
But I'm definitely fine with LSU talking their stuff. By all means, if you're feeling disrespected, you should go out and speak on it. You know how good you are, go dominate.
Editor should be fired and blacklisted from journalism
That’s because it’s more blacks on LSU let’s just state the facts
Of course, the mainstream press continues its agenda to get blacks out of basketball. You hit the black nail on the black head .
It was racist at worst and the paper was ready for whatever back lash was to come. They wanted the publicity and was ready to fight the supposed anti-woke agenda.
You said what everyone has been avoiding.
What game did you watch? Don't you know a black girl when you see one? Betts is biracial. Rice is biracial. The shooting guard is black. UCLA 3, LSU 4 starting lineup. UCLA has a Hispanic guard, Jaquez.
She is homophobic
This had zero to do with them being women and 100 percent with majority of the players being black. The LA Times said “Let’s give them some of that Jim Crow,” racism
Facts
💯🎯✊🏾
So the only victims are the black female players here ?😂😂
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SURPRISING?!? SOME WHITES really think we are below them. They chained us and fought laws that were attempted to be put in place to even the playing field!! UNTIL THEIR MINDS/VIEWS OF US CHANGE, it is what it is!! SIDEBAR: HOW MANY CENTURIES HAS IT BEEN?!?
@@MiguelSosa-oo6ww
No. However the statement was made because of the strong presence of the black players on the team.
I googled it and couldn't click a single link, looking at the description. Disgusting for a journal to publish that.
If it was ever posted but deleted it's still there. Search it up on the way back machine. It's internet archives

Shannon had perfect analogy with the “objection sustained”. This article was so bad on so many levels :(
No,He should have used the analogy of "Striking" the statement. After it was already said.
"Is that where we are now?" 😂 when has it left?
All of this because the "white team" lost to the "black team" in last year's championship game. This just goes to show just how far we have not come in regards to racism.
Exactly

Talking about Iowa not UCLA .
I have huge respect for LSU, but it feels to me that both Mulkey & Angel Reese have become targets since they won last year.
Over 400 likes. Thank you. GO HAWKS!!!
Angel Reese threatened the first lady last year, was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team this past fall, and taunted the UCLA bench in her last game. Apparently, she hasn't learned her lesson. The refs need to keep an eye on her aggressive behavior and call the Iowa game correctly.
They have been targets and it’s a shame! She’s a great coach and will go to all lengths to protect her girls! Y’all are all wrong about Angel Reese! She’s a great leader of this team! STOP IT! The only difference between CC and AR is color! STOP IT!

*Stephen A is a master at walking the line*
This reminded me of Don Imus.
Exactly the thought I had. It’s shameful.
It's also racist
I totally agree
I’m trying to figure out how it’s sexist…. Guess racist would have been too much like right😂
lovemycity - the same way affirmative action is mainly for whíte women. Kim can throw herself in this if it’s sexism but she won’t stand there and take the bullets for calling out racísts
It's not racist. It was uncalled for to say but not racist. That slang term is meant for any female.
Thank you
The nerve of putting out that article shows how callous, ignorant and loose these individuals in particular positions think of people of color. That shouldn’t have been cleared to begin with so someone in management is definitely a fool for all seasons. Why can’t it be two good teams going against each other rather than good vs evil? We all need to unite and stand strong against oppression, racism and bigotry in this country.
I agree the articles choice of wording was horrible, but the good vs evil thing isn't racist. That's happened all the time in the past for college basketball. Past duke teams with Christian Laettner, JJ Redick, Grayson Allen, the fab 5 Michigan team, that gross dude with the long hair on Gonzaga in the 2000s, these were all college basketball "Villains". It's usually the overall best team that plays into the antics to antagonize other teams/crowds gets the villain label. It's nothing new, people usually root against the powerhouse teams.
Debutante has never once in the history of mankind been a racial insult. Using racism as an excuse for acting with no dignity is literally the opposite of Martin Luther King Jr’s dream. He wanted his children to be judged by the content of their character but people like you want to use the color of their skin as a defense to have no character.
@@erikdayne5429well said. I may steal that last line.
Agreed but will never happen, to many racist people for that to occur
@@limitedbom2206 Thanks for ignoring the CONTEXT...you can't have clearly racist statements, along with good vs evil, in the same article, and claim its not connected
I knew what a dirty debutante was before her press conference. To call a team of 18-21 year olds. A derogatory term such as that is extremely disgusting and unacceptable.
Don't google Dirty Debutantes at work
the article acting like this is a lord of the rings battle
it ain't that serious
You might not think it’s that serious but considering how much hatred and negativity LSU has received since winning that championship last year (Angel Reese even received vile death threats) it actually is serious. Remember, yes it’s sports but these girls are actually human beings. They’re human beings who are just trying to enjoy their lives, and be good at what they do.
The aritcle obvs wasn't serious. It was an article written by a homer from LA writing about the UCLA team. The only legit thing is the "dirty debutantes" line was in poor taste (given what comes up when you search it). These guys on "First Take" say worse about male pro athletes all the time because sports commentary is over the top, tongue in cheek lol
😂😂😂
Haha. Right??? It’s girls basketball.
Pretty wild timing for this to drop right before playing Iowa.
The Dirty Debutants is definitely a reference to the adult film from back in the day.
you mean Ed Powers lol
Yes, I blew many a load in my youth to this cinematic masterpiece
it's a series lol
@JakeBayCity You a wild dude😭😭😭😭😭😭

This kind of media can break the spirit

@@gambino48against Iowa. This article was before the UCLA vs LSU game Saturday
They lost
Irresponsible by the editor. How they even allowed this to print is gross.
Reminds me of Don Imus calling the Rutgers women’s team what he did.
How did we grow up learning about libel and slander for it to not ever come into effect.
1) It's not defamatory. Do people believe the LSU girls are literally "evil" and literally "dirty debutantes" because of the article this guy wrote? (and thus they are going to suffer actual damages because of it; people won't hire them, they'll get disqualified, they'll suffer so much emotionally they won't be able to step onto the court because they know people believe that they are literally "evil" and "dirty debutantes" because of what this dude wrote) lol Besides in the US you have the First Amendment which protects a lot of speech and this was clearly a free comment opinion column by a writer (i.e. his not reporting facts, he's giving his opinion on a sporting event).
2) This dude is a homer writer (LA Times) writing for the home team (UCLA). If it was (like Don Imus) a neutral party writing for the Denver Post (or as SAS rightfully says, USA Today) than there's more of a case that there was ill intent. The "good versus evil" was clearly hyperbolic, over the top, tongue and cheek. The ONLY real issue here is the "dirty debutante" line (given what comes up on the Google Search). That crossed a line and should've never been used.
libel and slander usually is when you make up an allegation or an untruthful statement as fact.
Once again reporters ignore the fact that coach Mulkey did respond to the Griner drug arrest in Russia. She told a reporter she wished her well and hoped she returned safely. She said that was the only time she would respond to that subject. Coach Mulkey didn't owe Griner anything. Griner said some things about Coach Mulkey that were not true. Also, Griner's family new what Baylor was when she enrolled. She then wants to come out and throw it in their face. She should have gone to a California school or Texas A&M.
It's also racist.

Nope! However, I believe the media wrote that and not ND
Yeah and the fact that they making this a white vs black thing between Iowa vs LSU is crazy
The LA Times article helped her big time. It completely buried the Washington Post article.
The "Google the phrase" was genius. I wonder if she came up with that herself or LSU has a crack research team lol That was brilliant PR wise
That was exact the point. First person I’ve seen that realized this.
That may be the reason they published it. I had a feeling LA Times did this in retaliation for the Washington Post call out.
There wasn’t anything bad in the Washington Post article. You obviously didn’t read it
She never treated any of her players wrong ! She’s a Christian that worked for a Christian university at the time ! She wasn’t going to celebrate her gayness and was actually looking out for her players by telling them not to flaunt their gayness because it’s against university rules!
she a debased rodeo clown, embarassing herself and the program
The gayness must stop! Support the women of LSU.
It also should've been mentioned in this discussion that the UCLA coach shared the article with others ... basically condoning the article. And to me, the article is more racist than it is sexist. The racism was spoken in dog whistles, such as "milk" vs "hot sauce" and "sweethearts" vs "dirty".
The UCLA coach has already apologized for retweeting that article saying she didn’t even read it until after retweeting it. Once she read it, she deleted the tweet.

ESPN will not condemn that so they are in no position to complain.

Really? How many instances can you site of men playing in women sports, at the major sport entities that are covered by ESPN, collegiate or professional?
“I don’t like it when journalists offend me by giving my team an edgy nickname but it’s okay when we offend people by not showing up for the national anthem.”
🤣🤣🤣
I don't understand how the racist undertone isn't being acknowledged?
Iowa, primarily/the face of the team (Clark), white = Good/Milk and Cookies.
LSU, primarily/face of the team (Reece), black. And somehow, they're "Evil"? The "villans"?
How? They don't cheat nor play the game dirty. They JUST won the national championship.
They need to put the writer on full blast.
It was flamebait. And it obviously worked.
Idm what it was it was wrong
These guys are part of the media and they're just now realizing the media does this? Shocked Pikachu
Agreed a lot of fake moral outrage and pearl clutching. You actually see people who were former columnists like Skip and Stephen A have a more nuanced approached (because they've been columnists covering a specific cities team like this homer journo clearly was). SAS is right; if it was a neutral writer from a different city or a national columnists then there'd be an issue. But hyperbolic, over the top, tongue and cheek sports commentary? That's what shows like "First Take" and "Undisputed" are lol They've said worse about male athletes. The only thing here is the "dity debutantes" line (given what comes up on a Google search).
Everyman 70-40 yrs old did not need to google “Dirty Debutantes” we already knew what would show up if you searched it😂😂😂😂

Who wrote it… what is the writer and the editors name?
I just find LSU unlikeable. But I find Caitlin Clark unlikeable.
I agree. Add Iowa's coach in there, too.
I think the women are trying to act like men, with the trash talking and stutting and possing. But LSU especially Reese does too much. If people were honest they could admit that , but instead they try to downplay or say she does the same as Clark. Thats a lie showe clark following another player around for 20 seconds doing some gesture while talking trash
South Carolina will Destroy both Iowa and LSU
Why?😮
It's actually pathetic to portray a women's college game as "good vs. evil". It's asinine. Not to mention, LSU is the underdog team. It's a 1 vs. a 3. This is why people are going to side with LSU over Iowa. There's a narrative being created surrounding Caitlin Clark in broad daylight. 😂😂😂
Yea this situation is WILD
The "good versus evil" comment was obviously hyperbolic and is typical in male sports commentary (especially since this dude was a homer writing for his hometown team). The "dirty debutants" line is where the issue is.
I have respect for LSU, and I'm a South Carolina fan.
I agree with Kim stance on the LGBTQ players. Kim recruited players to play basketball, not start a movement. Nobody cares what you do in the bedroom, you’re there to play ball. Also, there might be issues with other players undressing around a LGBTQ player that is attracted to women. It’s ironic the guys congratulated Kim for winning 20 games a year, every year in her career, but chastised her for HOW she did it, which includes establishing team unity and the winning atmosphere….and that includes unity in the locker room.
Interesting. This is the same thing those white people used to say to Bill Russel and Lou Alcindor (KAJ)
Michael Wilbon hosts first take now?

You wrong for that😂😂😂.... I will say she is the best looking bald headed woman I've seen..
why does every other ESPN program have their own youtube channel except first take
First of all, and foremost... that rhetoric should NOT be used towards or about ANYONE. Whether 18 through 21 or a newborn to 104... that language has no place in a country that "self proclaims " itself to be the best, brightest, most diverse, smartest, least racist , fair, inclusive, non-barbaric , most civilized, Christian, hardworking, and godly...or is that in OUR DREAMS.
Some people are so entrenched in racism and bigotry that they think it's others who have the problem.
It ain’t sexist it is racist.
