So this scene from Bull Durham, as much as it is played for comedy, is a actually a guide to how to handle the media:
There's a reason why you hear so many athletes giving the same boring "110% , didn't get the breaks, faith in God" blah blah speech, that makes you tune out the interview after checking out Erin Andrews: It doesn't create media ripples. Angel Reese decided she wasn't interested in the traditional route to handling the media. She had thoughts, and she expressed them. For better and worse. Winning cures a lot of problems. Reese just found out that losing tends to make things unreasonably and exponentially worse.
America is still an incredibly racist and sexist country. And if, as a celebrity, you elect to raise your profile in the media ecosystem, it's going to come with some very real, unfair, and scary consequences. That doesn't make it right, but Reese's post game speech didn't seek to tamp down on an already volatile and awful situation, it poured gasoline on the fire.
