Former LSU basketball star Angel Reese called for protecting women’s athletics in a social media post on Monday.

LSU head football coach Brian Kelly has issued an official response to last week’s incident in which the Tigers women’s basketball team missed the national anthem during its Elite Eight matchup against Iowa.

Vice President Kamala Harris has continued her battle with two formidable nemeses: thought and speech.
