and now Keith O has apologized for comments made about Angel Reese......

Olbermann was among those to criticize her.

"What a f--king idiot," he wrote.


Olbermann has since apologized.

"I apologize for being uninformed last night about the back story on this. I don't follow hoops, college or pro, men or women. I had no idea about Clark. Both were wrong," he announced.

Former ESPN host Keith Olbermann has apologized for what he said about Angel Reese.

The LSU Tigers star went viral for her taunting of Caitlin Clark in the final seconds of the NCAA Tournament national title game on Sunday evening.

at her hiring press conference she went out of her way to say they wouldn’t be wearing masks. This was in 2021.

She was a helluva a player and she is a good coach obviously.

I don't follow women's college hoops, but I recognized her immediately from her Brittney Griner nonsense last year and then watched her proceed to spend her entire time standing on the court with impunity.

LSU played better, but they also had the refs helping along the way.

Didn't look like it was aimed at a particular player, and she certainly wasn't following around an opponent doing it in her face. But hey, Clark tossed a basketball out of the way and that was worthy of a technical...

I actually don't mind trash talking, but Reese was stalking Clark. She followed her around the court to make the point twice more.
Clark did direct it at South Carolina players in the semis, but it was in just walking by.
It was the repetitive nature & stalking of Clark that I criticize.
She very well could have been heading to her bench to celebrate with her teammates.
After all, what's more important; winning the chip or making a point people won't care about by May?
