Angel Reese calls out Barstool Sports for double standard on player celebrations

LSU forward Angel Reese found herself trending on social media after calling out Barstool Sports over the response of two athletes doing the same celebration.
During the Sugar Bowl loss to Washington on Monday night, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers did a similar celebration to what Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant performed when he had a highlight-worthy dunk against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 26.
But Reese pointed out the difference in how each was characterized.
Here is what Barstool wrote about Morant: "Ja spraying imaginary bullets into section 113 after slam." This came after Morant returned from a 25-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the league following incidents of him showing a firearm on social media.
Ewers' celebration from the same Barstool Sports account came with the comment, "Quinn Ewers is having fun."
During the NCAA tournament last season, Reese was criticized heavily after using a taunting "You can't see me" hand gesture that Iowa guard Caitlin Clark had used herself earlier in the tournament.
In response to the Morant and Ewers' celebrations, Reese reposted the Barstool posts and said, "lol i've seen this before...."
Reese was also criticized for pointing to her ring finger in front of Clark toward the end of the national championship game, during which LSU beat Iowa to win its first title.
Clark later said she didn't think Reese should be criticized for trash-talking.
