The gesture has sparked much debate, especially on social media. Some have criticized Reese, while others have defended her actions.
LSU star Angel Reese defended the gesture she aimed at Iowa Hawkeyes' Caitlin Clark near the end of the Tigers' first NCAA women's basketball national championship victory on Sunday, saying"I don't take disrespect lightly."
Sports journalist Jose de Jesus Ortiz called Reese's actions"classless," while former ESPN host Keith Olbermann called Reese an"idiot" for the gesture. "So this is for the girls that look like me. For those that want to speak up for what they believe in. It's unapologetically you. And that's what I did it for tonight. It was bigger than me tonight. And Twitter is going to go into a rage every time.
In the post-game broadcast, Reese referenced the similar gesture Clark made to a Louisville opponent in the Elite Eight. " Kim Mulkey coached them so, so well. She's one of the best basketball coaches of all time, and it shows. She only said really kind things to me in the handshake line, so I'm very grateful of that too.
