do think there’s a problem, going back to my earlier answer on how there really isn’t a women’s college basketball media, she’s so protected,' Zaksheske said. 'They protect the heck out of her. I almost feel like she knew that that’s the answer they wanted, and they have done her so much good service covering her. It’s always positive, except the God stuff.' 'Other than that, they love everything she stands for. She’s Black. She talks about racism. She talks about misogyny.
