Today we're going to talk aboutKaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese

But before we do that, pleasemake sure to hit that like and

Try to get the ratings up alittle bit.
You know, just a little bit.

(00:20):
Like I said, ladies andgentlemen, today we're going to
talk about Angel Reese, kaitlynClark and their scuffle, the
flagrant breakdown, if you will.
It was an interesting one.
I just got to say this beforewe start.
Right, most of the time when Ihear Kaitlyn Clark and Angel
Reese discussions, yeah, I thinkyou're either a casual
basketball fan or you're aracist.
And those are usually for theKaitlyn Clark supporters, sadly.

(00:43):
And those are usually for thecaitlyn clark supporters, sadly,
because a lot of y'all go outof, out of your way to slander
angel reese unnecessarily.
Did I get that right?
Yep, angel, you know I'm sayinglike unnecessarily.
And again, this is to thecaitlyn clark stands.
I'm tired of y'all all right,but outside, but outside of that
, this wonderful rivalry, andI'm gonna say it again, rivalry

(01:08):
reminds me of a Larry and Magicfor the WNBA, which I've said on
this show a couple of times aswell too, so as some of the
guests as well as well.
So as well, twice is crazy, ohmy gosh.
But anyways, like I said, we'regoing to talk a little bit
about some racism discussions,the some of the racist remarks
that have been, you know, sayingat least, that I've witnessed

(01:30):
on my own platform and then thebreakdown between both players
flagrant fouls that's right,caitlin Clark was not the only
player to have a flagrant foulon the other.
That's right, angel, he's gotone as well.
So let's look at those as thosebreakdowns first, like matter
of fact.
Matter of fact.
I did mention angels.
So we've seen caitlyn's, we'veseen caitlyn's.

(01:51):
Let's start with angels,because I think you know that
one could be a littleinteresting.
So I'm gonna say this, ladiesand gentlemen one, let me make
sure it's backed up.
Track there.
It is there, it is all right.
So now I'm gonna show y'all thethe video, all right, so y'all
see it.
Look like a good block.
What happens, though?
Angel does hit Caitlyn acrossthe head like the back of the

(02:13):
head, right, all right, bet.
Now, if y'all peek, when Angelhits Caitlyn, caitlyn falls down
to the ground, remember, andher teammates immediately go to
her.
So I mentioned that specificallybecause this couple of y'all

(02:34):
have been talking about AngelReese's reaction, right, and now
, actually, some of y'all mightbe wondering what reaction am I
talking about?
Well, it's this one right here,this one right here.
There.
It goes Wrong one.
Hold on, there you go.
I was about to fire thecameraman.
I got to fire the cameraman.
It's crazy.
All right, this one right here.

(02:56):
As y'all can see, angel kind ofgets up, shout out to Aaliyah
Boston for protecting KaitlynClark and Angel Reese.
Actually, what happens if Angelstarts to throw a blow and then
Kaitlyn responds?
That can get a little tricky,but you saw the reaction though,
and y'all saw the result too.
Here are my similarities anddifferences for these two

(03:17):
situations.
Long story short similarities.
Both of them did commit aflagrant foul.
End of day, it was unnecessaryroughness.
Long story short.
Keep in mind with Angels, she'sactually swatting for the
basketball, but she hits Kaitlynin the back of the head.
That's a basketball playbecause again, kaitlyn brings
the ball hot right.

(03:38):
She's going up for the layup,so Angel swats, misses, hits her
in the head.
That's a basketball play,ladies and gentlemen, because if
she hits the ball, that's anatural movement.
Okay, when Kaitlyn Clark getsher flagrant, well, what did she
do?
She sat up there and fouledAngel right.
She hit her across the forearm,I'll give you that, but then

(03:59):
it's the shove down, ladies andgentlemen.
That's the problem.
Again, it's the shove downthat's going to cause a lot of
problems for folk.
And if y'all don't believe methat she shoved her down and
that resulted in all this, Ipromise you look at this right
here, as y'all can see.
And then the shove down.

(04:20):
You saw the extra little oomphto it by Caitlyn.
That's what caused the reactionright there, ladies and
gentlemen.
That's what caused the reaction.
See, again, it's the littleshove down.
Y'all are seeing this angle alot of the time, but you got to
watch the other one because,again, this other angle right
here shows a much differentpicture, which is understanding

(04:43):
why that reaction comes.
Again, y'all been seeing this.
You need to look at this oneright here.
This is the reason why theflagrant fouls reaction is a
little bit different and it'sthe reason why I say there is a
little bit of a difference, alsopeak to how neither player went
over to help the other one up.

(05:04):
We can say you're not supposedto when you foul on people, it's
true that there is an elementto that, but on a regular foul
you don't got to help them.
You know what I'm saying.
But on a flagrant fact, you maywant to show a little like hey,
dog, my bad, you know what Imean.
You want to come off that way,at least remorseful.
Neither player did that andI'll say this there was a little

(05:24):
bit of a stare down fromKaitlyn Clark too, from all
y'all fans we're talking aboutsome oh, they're quotes, because
it's really just passion in thegame.
They don't hate each other,they're rivals.
And for those of y'all who aresaying they're not rivals, again
, they met in college in thefinal four and championship.

(05:45):
Angel won the championship,kaitlyn won the final four
matchup.
Now we're talking WNBA and theyboth were dominant.
They both were headliners fortheir rookie class rivals,
whether y'all want to admit itor not.
So the differences that I'veseen.
Well, the public is starting tocry for Kaitlyn Clark and this

(06:07):
is going for those Kaitlyn Clarkstands that I was telling y'all
about.
The Kaitlyn Clark stands areannoying and that's going to be
another part of an episode toolater on.
But the excuses giving forcaitlyn clark is unnecessary.
Like we're saying, angel reese,she flopped how does she flop?
But meanwhile caitlyn clark'smomentum and arms are all going

(06:30):
forward and you even see thebody movement.
Like that, even even though allthe evidence is there, we're
gonna say caitlin didn't pushher.
We're gonna say angel reese,flop, come on now, bro.
But meanwhile let's go back tolast year.
What happened, what was saidback then?
I promise you, people weresaying, oh, angel needs to get
kicked out of the league.
Crazy enough to.

(06:51):
People are saying that aboutangel right now.
Like, my whole point is this wegot to make stuff fair.
End of day.
These were flagrant fouls byboth players.
The reactions were fine.
For me it's very understandable.
But the Caitlin Clark stands.
You guys are being extremelyignorant, in my personal opinion
, and I would appreciate it ify'all can stop and just enjoy

(07:13):
the game.
If you want to not admit thatyou're racist, that's cool.
I understand that's a toughthing to accept, but just know
some of the remarks that y'allare making are showing otherwise
.
It's got to be.
You got to keep it basketballand it's not basketball from a
lot of you guys.
So again, I would appreciate it.
One if some of y'all get off mypage at that point, that's the

(07:34):
stance that you're going to take.
If some of these stances y'alltaking just stay off my page,
personally, I don't want to dealwith it.
But two, actually trulyappreciate both of these players
, because both of these womenhave been dominating.
Both of these players are goodplayers and both of these
players are going to be playersthat the WNBA is going to be
focusing on for the foreseeablefuture.

(07:54):
So I hope that you guys acceptthat and let's move on.
But, ladies and gentlemen,that's all the time I have.
So I'm actually very curiouswhat you all think.

the scuffle.
