DARLING — The authorities had the ire of half the viewers of the national championship game while the other half was outraged that one player had the temerity to speak ill of someone.
Womens basketball and all womens sports in general have fought for attention in the public discourse for far too long. There are a variety of causes but that discussion may wait for another time.
The subject of another Tiger and his participation at Augusta National would have soon come up in conversation. Or go attend a baseball game early in the season. The countless comparisons and analyses of the teams competing for the mens championship would undoubtedly have overshadowed LSUs victory.

These off-the-cuff discussions make sure that interest in sports and the individuals who play them is not dependent upon a single event and keeps games in the limelight long after the final buzzer sounds.
Indeed some of the discussions got out of hand. Before you calm down look up “Clark and John Cena” or “Reese and ring stuff” on Google. Second youre going to be appalled when I tell you about a man called Michael Jordan if youre furious with LSU players bragging about their victory and how it came at the price of Americas new favorite athlete. Maybe even Aaron Rodgers.
Twitter will erupt every time which makes me pleased. Reese smiled and remarked “I feel like Ive contributed to the growth of womens basketball this year. “Im ecstatic and quite thrilled.”
This event served as another proof that womens sports are experiencing a watershed period with soaring interest and funding. Viewership for the semifinal matchup between South Carolina and Iowa on Friday night peaked at 6.6 million viewers and ABC aired the final on Sunday.
