And? I'm not sure why you feel that's relevant. You don't have to be an LSU fan to have an opinion on this. And whether or not you're a fan of either team, you can still have an objective opinion not biased by the fandom.

Ok, Jill Biden is walking back that dual invitation.

On Tuesday, First Lady Biden’s press secretary took to Twitter to push back on that idea. The First Lady loved watching the NCAA women’s basketball championship game alongside young student athletes and admires how far women have advanced in sports since the passing of Title IX,” press secretary Vanessa Valdivia wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “Her comments in Colorado were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes. She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.”

Even Caitlin Clark doesn't have a problem with Angel Reese's boasting.

Let your actions on the court speak for itself. All trash talking to me is a sign of an insecure person. A truly confident players doesn’t need to resort to theses immature actions, their game will let you know where they stand. Thats what I love about a player like Kawhi Leonard. Never says a word to the refs or trash talks or brags, he just gets it done,

It's relevant because you can be a fan and still not like something your team did. There is no such thing as an objective opinion, everyone is subjective.

Again, so what. You're implying that the fact that you're a fan somehow makes your opinion more relevant than an impartial observer that has no interest in either team. It's not relevant at all.

In everyday life, your objective opinion is the one that sets aside your subjective preferences or feelings about something and instead assesses it based on facts and reality.

The fact that Clark taunted others is not an opinion. It's actually a fact. And anyone can look at that and say she reaped what she sowed.

Being I was born and raised in Louisiana and LSU I am glad they won. But I wish this has not developed into a racial thing. I think Jill Biden is part of that developing. If Iowa was not playing LSU I would have wanted them to win. The media is part of the whole taunting due to their non-stop reporting on Clark as the wonder girl.

She's unlike any other female player we've seen. The female version of Steph Curry, basically. Why wouldn't they talk about her non-stop?
