Jill Biden recently caused a stir earlier this week after suggesting a White House invite to NCAA women’s basketball championship runner-up in Iowa alongside LSU, something that has never happened before. The First Lady of the United States has since apologized for the quip yet LSU star Angel Reese is still bothered by the retracted suggestion.
Dr. Jill Biden was speaking at an event this past Monday when she floated the idea of bringing both the winning Louisiana State University Tigers and the Iowa State University Hawkeyes to celebrate the effort of both teams.
As it stands, many in the sports world saw the invitation as an insult, including Reese, who became part of the national conversation after gesturing toward Iowa standout Caitlin Clark in the closing minutes of the championship game.
During an episode of Paper Route, by way of the I AM ATHLETE network, Reese explained that she’s received calls from Dr. Biden and the White House attempting to make it right, but the Baltimore native is having none of it.
That’s why she wants to come out and apologize,” Reese explained to Brandon Marshall and Ashley Nicole Moss. “But at the same time, I don’t accept it, I’m not going to lie to you. I don’t accept the apology. You said what you said.”
Adding to that comment above, Reese said that instead of the White House, she and the team would rather “go to the Obamas.”
Heard that.

I love that Angel Reese isn’t modeling respectability politics. Especially as a young Black woman. Black people are taught you have to let everything white people do to harm us go on a whim. No. Jill apologized, and Angel isn’t interested and explained why. https://t.co/EDuRRC3o5D

To your old diet woke niggas
Angel Reese was 6 years old
And had a black president until she was 14 she is only 20 years old now
So most of her life in America has been under a black president
If she wants to admire him
And his beautiful family
It’s nothing wrong with that… pic.twitter.com/ON0dzpceuw— MASTER STUDENT

said Serena Williams looked like a man
applied different standards for Sha’Carri Richards
mocked Naomi Osaka about her mental health
excoriated Angel Reese for competitive taunting
All are BLACK women.

“If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House.”
Is there even one single person who disagrees with this assessment by Angel Reese? If not, she is right to reject Jill Biden’s tainted invitation. LOVE IT! https://t.co/brUczfM2Wb

Angel Reese says LSU didn't let Jill Biden in the locker room before the game because Joe Biden didn't have LSU winning his march madness bracket and I am cracking up at the idea of someone thinking he actually sat down to fill one of those outpic.twitter.com/qhNWpyBNNS

Hold on, is this the “apology” some people are upset she isn’t accepting “from” Jill Biden
Full support for Angel Reese! (Even if she did apologize there’s no reason she had to accept it) https://t.co/Bi86qBDh76 pic.twitter.com/hAEzbZrGms
