During I Am Athlete’s “Paper Route” interview on Tuesday, LSU star forward Angel Reese didn’t back down from her initial comment about the First Lady’s invitation to the White House calling it ‘a joke’.
“That was from the heart,” Reese said about her response to the First Lady. “That was from the mind. That was what it was in the moment.
“As soon as that happened, we [the team] hit the group chat, like, what’re we doing? Are y’all trying to go? … We made a lot of phone calls and that’s why she wants to come and apologize. I’m not going to lie to you, because I don’t accept her apology … I said what I said … You felt like they [Iowa] should’ve came because of sportsmanship, they can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas. We’ll see Michelle, we’ll see Barack.”
