Ep 642 | Dawn Staley & Kim Mulkey Wage War for Rulership of Women’s College Basketball

Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley hate each other. They’re combatants in the most compelling and heated feud perhaps in the history of sports. The war between the two might be a more compelling storyline for women’s college basketball than the ascension of Caitlin Clark, and the bitterness between Mulkey and Staley will fuel women’s college basketball after Clark enters the WNBA abyss. Staley and Mulkey are the Obama and Trump of women’s college basketball. You can clearly see the fault lines whenever the schedule dictates that Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks face Mulkey’s Louisiana State Tigers, and that’s exactly what happened in the SEC Championship game. As usual, an ugly war ensued. For the better part of four quarters, the teams exchanged elbows, shoves, taunts, and trash talk. All the hostility led to a scrum after USC’s 6’7’’ Kamilla Cardoso pushed LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson to the ground. Both benches cleared. No punches were thrown. Nothing really happened. Dawn Staley and her Gamecocks won the game, and Staley would later apologize for the scene that unfolded. Kim Mulkey offered no contrition following the loss. Sports media has anointed Staley as queen coach of the women’s game. Corporate media fawns over Dawn Staley. She checks all the right boxes in 2024: black, female, and Alphabet Mafia friendly. Mulkey has won four national titles. Staley has won two. Mulkey is white, and she does not check all the boxes. She often says things that infuriate the woke media. Mulkey did not rally around Brittney Griner; Staley, of course, spoke out in support of the LGBTQ+ icon. The players are proxies for a war between their feisty, undersized coaches. LSU lured Mulkey away from Baylor and quickly made her the highest-paid coach in all of women’s basketball for the express purpose of destroying Dawn Staley. It’s a labor of love, and Jason is here for it. Steve Kim is at “Fearless” to fan the flames on the Staley-Mulkey feud, and the duo discusses USA Today’s racist article demanding that the future of women’s college basketball has to be black. Plus, the duo discusses Russell Wilson’s and Kirk Cousins’ new homes in the NFL, and two of football’s biggest stars, Joe Burrow and Nick Bosa, are spotted with Donald Trump at UFC 299. Cue the outrage.
