This is stupid. Women can want to feel sexy, but the natural consequence of selling that sexuality is that some of the people buy into it will sexualize them. That's just natural cause and effect.
Anyway, two things can be right at the same time.
It's true that Angel Reese has been treated unfairly. She didn't deserve death threats, and she doesn't deserve to be trashed for taunting last year in defense of Caitlin. Especially, when it was Caitlin's taunting that prompted Angel's taunting. Angel's treatment does show how there is a deep seated hatred for black people especially when we behave in a way that goes counter to how white people believe we should behave. That said, she may have taken a loss, but she's still winning in the long run. Good for her.
It's also true that we're talking about sports. And something that's kinda universal with sports is that if you wild out when you're on top, there will be people looking to celebrate when you fall. That's the reality. It may be truer for black people, but it's not even limited to black people. Let's be real. The only reason Angel is getting any sympathy in this case is because she's young and a woman. If this was a man in the same exact situation. Everyone would be clowning him, calling him a bitch, telling him to man up, etc... Humble people get sympathy when they're down. Cocky people do not. That's how sports has pretty much always worked. With the exception of a handful of white athletes that the media loves, even most of them don't escape it. It may be a bit dehumanizing, but let's be real, a large portion of the sports watching public don't really see athletes as human beings.
