Major LSU, White House update revealed

Since the LSU Tigers won the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship on Sunday afternoon, the talk has been less about their win and more about the politics around it. Angel Reese and a few of her LSU teammates let it be known they have no interest in visiting the White House after First Lady Jill Biden said she wanted the Iowa Hawkeyes to visit too. Despite all the chatter, LSU pumped the brakes on the idea they wouldn’t attend.

According to TMZ, the school said they would “certainly” accept an invitation from the White House if one were offered. “In fact, according to a university spokesperson, the Tigers would be ‘excited’ to continue the celebration of their women’s NCAA tournament title at 1600 Penn Ave. later this year,” TMZ wrote.

Initially, The First Lady’s comments didn’t sit well with Reese, instead, she said she’d rather visit the Obamas than the Bidens.

Reese said on the “I Am Athlete” podcast this week that If the roles were reversed, they wouldn’t be the same. If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House.”Then she insinuated she’d prefer to go visit with the Obamas instead.” They can have that spotlight,” she said of the Hawkeyes. “We’ll go to the Obamas’,” Reese said.Now that doesn’t mean however, that Reese will attend the ceremony, which would be her right. However, that doesn’t mean her teammates will join her in her protest.
