One and Done With Women's College Basketball: "too hood, too ghetto."

"I don't fit the box that y'all want me to be in. I'm too hood. I'm too ghetto. Y'all told me that all year. When other people do it, and y'all don't say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me. For those that want to speak up for what they believe in. It's unapologetically you. And that's what I [did] before tonight. It was bigger than me tonight. And Twitter is going to go into a rage every time."--Angel Reese, national champion LSU.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, the adage goes and Reese's "for girls that look like me" racial motivation is an interest killer.
