Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has defended her LSU rival Angel Reese for a gesture she made during the NCAA women’s basketball championship game on Sunday.
Reese made the “You can’t see me” gesture – made famous by wrestler John Cena – towards her opponent as the Tigers closed out their 102-85 victory, which secured their first NCAA women’s basketball title.
She also pointed to her finger, referencing the championship ring she would soon receive. Reese, who is Black, received abuse for the gesture on social media.
Others pointed out that Clark, who is white, had made the same gesture earlier in the tournament but had been praised for her fighting spirit.
