Last week, United States Vice President Kamala Harris tried to give people a “history lesson,” but her facts were actually completely wrong.
During a recent interview with Spectrum News, Kamala Harris was discussing the growth of women’s collegiate basketball when she claimed that women’s college basketball teams “were not allowed to have brackets until 2022,” which is obviously not true.
“Do you know? Okay, a bit of a history lesson. Do you know that women were not. The women’s teams were not allowed to have brackets until 2022,” Harris said. “Think about that. And what? That. Talk about progress. You know better late than never, but progress and what that has done. Because of course, when, you know, I had a bracket and it’s not broken completely, but I won’t talk about my bracket.
“But you know, just how we love we love March Madness. And even just now allowing the women to have brackets and what that does to encourage people to talk more about the women’s teams, to watch them now they’re being covered, you know, and this is the reality people used to say are women’s sports. Who’s interested? Well, if you can’t see it, you won’t be. But when you see it, you realize, oh.”
This is obviously a pretty horrible mistake on Harris’ part because the women’s NCAA Tournament bracket has existed since 1982 and fans have been able to fill out a blank bracket with their predictions since the very beginning of the tournament.
