After the South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Championship basketball game, Dawn Staley praised Caitlin Clark’s impact on the sport.
I don’t watch a ton of sports, but I’ve seen enough to know that it’s fairly common for a championship team to thank their opponents while celebrating a big win. Maybe the opposing team’s coach will get a shout-out by name. Maybe a star player will be singled out with a “thank you for making us better,” or some other sportsmanlike platitude.
But winning the championship would seal the deal. I hope to the dear Lord she doesn’t.
