They wouldn't do that if they realized that Audi is head and shoulders above TWP (the Whiny Princess) in terms of athleticism and sportsmanship.
"Beloved" is the adjective that comes to mind when I see Audi Crooks on the floor or off.

I actually don't disagree with what's in the article. While some of her antics are a bit much for me, I can appreciate the larger point of girls learning they can be competitive and animated. But it's funny to me how Angel Reese isn't afforded anywhere near the same grace in terms of being "firey" and "competitive". You can't have it both ways.
A WV player last night got booed and Clark complained about her because she was animated and gave a 'thumbs down' after she got a 4th foul. Full Hok.
Imo Clark, Reese and that Stanford players go beyond competitive and max out the 'look at me' culture and it's less enjoyable.
Let's be honest for a second, there are a-holes on both sides. Audi is a great kid and impossible not to like in my opinion. Anyone attacking her just needs to shut the f up. Her and CC are worlds apart from the standpoint of what types of basketball players they are and shouldn't be compared to each other at all. Clark has had an amazing career and Crooks is off to an amazing start. We're never going to magically start cheering for each other's teams but hopefully most of us can appreciate how good both of these girls are without feeling the need to tear them down.
I don't know if the "look at me" stuff bothers me a ton. But I do find it ironic that the Hawk fans that were so worked up towards Reese can now herald CC as the face of the newly emboldened competitive female sports star.
For me, I like it. Sports are meant to be entertaining, and it creates some pretty solid drama. But you can't have it both ways.
Such articles only reinforce the behaviors that superior athletes shouldn't be scrutinized for constantly complaining to officials or any negative behaviors exhibited on the court/field. It's perfectly okay for these athletes to conduct themselves in a manner in which most parents (CC's parents obviously included) find sickening.Interesting piece in Forbes that discusses her impact on women's sports and perspective on how she carries herself on the court.

The ones who were are idiots. I never had a problem with AR giving it back to CC. I think AR pulling the SC player's hair and throwing blatant elbows at her face are bush league, just like CC shoving the player who was getting under her skin.
Did you read it? Because that's not really at all what it's about. The author is a mom and women in tech advocate who's pointing out the double standards women athletes find themselves up against.
And that changes what exactly? Does that somehow make it okay for CC to act like a child? I've said it many, many times. I don't like it when any player, male or female, at any level, act childish when playing a sport. It's such a bad look.
Home court is a HUGE advantage in college basketball. Less so in football. Pro teams play a home and home series so the underdog can seize the advantage by winning a single road game. The NCAA tournaments are single elimination.
I think it flies in the face of your opinion that most parents find her on-court conduct "sickening."
ESPN claims they want to grow the game and provide more exposure to women's college basketball, yet they are doing the opposite by choosing a select few teams to champion the cause.
So you honestly don't mind it when a player yells "f you" to an official? I know that's not CC who did that, but just curious on your standpoint of what you think is acceptable for a player say/act on the court
