Angel Reese finally breaks silence on whether she would visit White House with LSU teammates
The recently concluded finals of the NCAA Women’s Basketball has created waves around the association. Louisiana State University clinched the National Championship against Iowa State University. LSU’s Angel Reese was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. However, the power forward was the subject of discussion around the league after she threw certain gestures at Iowa’s Caitlin Clark.
Reese hit John Cena’s “you cant’ see me” on Clark and then went on to point to her ring finger which drew a lot of criticism from netizens. As the tradition is, the winners of every NCAA tournament visit the White House to meet the president. Reese has accepted President Joe Biden’s invitation to visit the White House and stated “I’m a team player, I’m gonna do what’s best for the team.”
However, Reese, who already was amidst a controversy surrounding her gestures made the headlines again after pointing out the First Lady, Jill Biden, on Twitter and calling her decision to invite the runners-up to the White House ‘A Joke.’ Her comments drew widespread criticism from the netizens.
