this might be the most important message iâve ever said on here. while I am so excited about the growth of womenâs sports we need to do a better job at protecting female athletes !!!
the way ppl treat angel reese is diabolical. I mean the comments on EVERY single angel reese post make me want to throw up. I have NEVER seen someone so hated on for everything they do OR donât do. like how do these adults in the media look themselves in the mirror, or their daughters, or mothers. she has done nothing but good things for womenâs basketball. THEN finally she speaks out not to long ago about another issue of people over sexualizing her. and now when she posts a bikini pic ppl are like âoh but u donât want to be sexualized?â AHHH im getting angry now because just thinking of how young angel is and so many other college athletes itâs sick. DO YALL KNOW THEY WERE CREATING AI NUDES OF HER. Could you IMAGINE seeing that shit of yourself or your daughter or your sister in the internet!? what is wrong with people.
and with Paige, like yes there are edits all over the internet of her, sheâs great at basketball, sheâs got rizz, how about SHES STILL IN COLLEGE and has grown men posting on the internet stalking her. threatening her and buying tickets to her games like!??! sheâs just in college playing the game she loves and now youâre waking up being scrutinized and honestly over sexualized all over the internet.
I donât want people to wait until a girl ends up in a really dangerous situation for us to START TALKING ABOUT IT. basic compassion for women in media especially sports is rare and thatâs sad.
Harper Murray is a college vb star at Nebraska. She was the NUMBER 1 recruit in her class, played in a stadium of 92,000 ppl (the most attended womenâs sporting event like ever). then she loses the natty in 2023 and all because of 1 press conference where she was âoverly confidentâ in saying sheâs going to win the national championship the next three years, she was bullied so bad by the internet it damn near killed her. it ended in a mental health diagnosis, DUI, and an outpatient program. and she CONTINUES to be bullied on the internet last vb season!!! as an 18 year old girl in the sport that she loves, jumped by grown ass adults! unbelievable. donât even get me started on if she were a man or a college football player they wouldâve been eating that confidence up.
I hope the adults in all these womenâs lives and the leagues have mental health practices in place, safety practices in place. and for fans positive comments and engagement with these athletes can change everything! anyways idk man thatâs my rant.
