Bob Costas: Past Flagrant Foul on Angel Reese Sparked Less Debate than Foul on Caitlin Clark as a ‘Black-on-Black Incident’
‘It’s because it’s a Black-on-Black incident’
EXCERPT:
COSTAS: "But to your earlier point, there was an incident recently. Alyssa Thomas, who happens to be African American, grabbed Angel Reese by the throat and threw her to the floor. Flagrant, too, ejected from the game. The reason why that doesn't spark as much conversation isn't just that Caitlin Clark is a bigger star than Alyssa Thomas. It's because it's a black-on-black incident."
PHILLIP: "Wow. He said it."
COSTAS: "And you don't have that dynamic that people can comment on, yes, but also exaggerate and make the entire story sometimes."
