The unwelcoming vitriol on Angel Reese from Emmanuel Acho and the like is unmerited and void of historical and socio-biological depth.

Racial discernment would unmitigatedly convey that being a Black woman in the sporting ecology gets a range of differing treatment, in contrast to women of the dominant society.

Innate sporting conduct e.g., taunting, etc., exemplified in competitive athletes, is demonized (and vilified), when members of a melanin hue portray such deportment, yet, in the inverse, when women in the dominant society are exuding equivalent conduct they are heroized and normalized.

Black misogyny and patriarchy are still rampant in a nation that has not winnowed itself of the diseased pathology of racism.

The sporting enterprise, knowable for its biochemistry partisanship toward the youth, is an industry primed for the youthful denizen to leverage for notoriety—at an expense—when they seldomly do not have the mellowed orientation, to harness the woes and underbelly of fame.

Reese may have existential maladies with her newfound stardom, which is not an anomaly for her youthfulness, but her lack of unmitigated stoicism was not tethered to the agony of defeat she experienced.

Reese’s postgame sentiments were an emotive retort to the inequitable treatment Black and Brown bodies phenomenologically experience, for being equally competitive as their counterparts (dominant society) in the domiciliary of sports.
