The context here is that earlier, Clark had done it to her teammates after making a big play. It was definitely shit talk, could argue disrespect I suppose, but she wasn't even looking at the opponent.
Reese last night was literally following Clark down the floor as the clock was ticking down trying to get in her face and do it (and pointing at her ring finger), trying to elicit a reaction from her.
The narrative that "Clark did it earlier in the tournament" is very disingenuous IMO. I'm comfortable calling out anyone who follows their opponent at the end of a win to get in their face and talk shit.
Good post spark. Completely agree.
But I wont be that hard on Reese. I was somewhat entertained by the classlessness. Every sport needs a villain. For instance, I like the shit talking Conor McGregor does and if more of these girls showed a little sass more people would watch.
I wish Clark would have smacked her. Normally I’d side with Clark bc I think the media lets black athletes do whatever they want with no ridicule, but this time meh. It’s trash talk. It’s childish “nananana you lost”, but ultimately harmless.
