I don't even understand what she bastardized to state this.*

Apparently, the Women's tournament wasn't referred officially as part of March Madness until 2022*

Her big history lesson is that the women's tournament didn't have March Madness branding until 2022?

HISTORY LESSON, FOOL*

Some staffer with no knowledge of sports looked up something for 10 seconds on the internet*

IlliniRunner

Surely you would make a similar post if a prominent Republican made a similar blunder*
-
GMAW
April 5, 2024, 12:30:53
I'm much more concerned about Republicans trying to disenfranchise folks

IlliniRunner
April 5, 2024, 12:36:28
Agreed, which is why it's super weird that you have to jump in to defend

I read it. Apparently I have some reading comprehension issues*

longsnapper
April 5, 2024, 13:33:20
To be clear, my point isn't that it matters. It doesn't matter one whit.
-
GMAW
April 5, 2024, 13:43:51
I’m sorry my glib point wasn’t clearer. My intention wasn’t to blame a staffer in this hypothetical
-
IlliniRunner
April 5, 2024, 13:55:00
It seems pretty clear she was told about the March madness branding and said brackets
-
snipes824
April 5, 2024, 13:59:20
Exactly. It’s entirely inconsequential. Whether she saw this fact on her own on got some tidbit from

"Beyond stupid" when it refers to college sports. In other words, has no effect.

April 5, 2024, 12:55:42
Pointing the finger at an underling is pretty gross generally*
-
GMAW
April 5, 2024, 13:07:29
I don't think it's gross, nor a defense for the comment she made. She's responsible

The next time Trump says something stupid, I'll eagerly await Runner's post speculating

Yes. Again, not blaming a staffer, in this wholly hypothetical situation*

Acknowledged. And admittedly in articulate. It was not my intent.

It seems like you trying to deflect blame off her for the dumb thing she said
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
April 5, 2024, 13:07:02
Lol aren't they all? But I'm assuming that she is told little tidbits like this by staff
-
Taz
April 5, 2024, 13:25:47
I don’t care if she never watches sports or if she was told an incorrect fact by a staffer

OB25

-
IlliniRunner
April 5, 2024, 13:57:11
I highly doubt her staff told her they didn't have women's basketball brackets until 2022
-
CanHartlebHireSnider
April 5, 2024, 13:30:06
It sounds like a dumb fact of the day you'd see on a tiktok. So that probably means it

Do you think I'm watching women's college basketball to be cool?

Yes, exactly re 1. Is Caitlin Clark more prominent than Steph Curry in his prime?
-
GMAW
April 2, 2024, 15:44:39
Maybe not, but angel Reese definitely gets trashed because she's black*
-
Taz
April 2, 2024, 17:02:09
While true to an extent, she also gets trashed because she sucks*
-
Sounder
April 2, 2024, 17:20:18
I agree, but she also shouldn’t be immune from criticism either
-
GMAW
April 2, 2024, 17:12:29
Criticism is fine. Criticism that talks about her being ghetto or a thug or similar

April 2, 2024, 18:29:28

Lol come on

bigbop85
April 2, 2024, 20:43:04
And the world shouldn't call her ghetto for talking trash when white players do it too
-
Taz
April 2, 2024, 20:45:57
She's gotten plenty of criticism from a large subset of black Twitter
-
OrangeSox
April 2, 2024, 22:10:11
Who said that? *
-
Taz
April 3, 2024, 23:03:19
Ghetto is racist and unacceptable. But she’s absolutely classless and a poor sport
-
GMAW
April 2, 2024, 21:07:35
Then call her classless and a poor sport (not talking to you). I have no argument with that

Sounder
April 2, 2024, 18:43:29
She did it to herself but you're not justifying the backlash? Those seem contradictory

Uhh no. Wrong*
