Pretty much nobody applauded Jill Biden’s idea to host both the winning team and the losing team of this year’s NCAA women’s basketball championship at the White House—including the star player for Iowa, the team that lost to LSU. On Tuesday, Biden’s press secretary walked back the joint invite, noting that the first lady had «intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes. She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.» That same day, LSU star Angel Reese, who found herself embroiled in controversy after trash-talking her opponents during the final game, appeared on the Paper Route podcast, seeming somewhat reluctant to take Biden up on her offer.
