The Washington Post and LSU: A Match Made in... March Madness Mayhem?
Let's face it, dear reader, the world of sports media can be a bit of a circus sometimes. Enter LSU Tigers' fiery coach Kim Mulkey and The Washington Post, who recently performed a synchronized trapeze act without a net (metaphorically speaking, of course).
What Did The Washington Post Write About Lsu |
Coach Mulkey Throws Shade (and Maybe Threatened a Lawsuit?)
It all started in March Madness, that glorious (and chaotic) time of year when basketball takes center stage and coaches turn into motivational speakers... on steroids. Coach Mulkey, known for her intensity and her championship pedigree (two titles, baby!), went off on a reporter from The Post during a press conference. Apparently, the reporter was working on a story about her, and according to Mulkey, it was shaping up to be a full-on "hit piece."
Cue the legal eagles! Coach Mulkey threatened to sue the Washington Post if they published "false" information. This sent the sports world into a tizzy. Was it a publicity stunt? A misunderstanding? A classic case of pre-game jitters manifesting as lawyer talk? The world may never know.

The Plot Twist: It Wasn't a Hit Piece (Unless You Ask Coach Mulkey)
Now, here's the funny part. The Washington Post story finally dropped, and guess what? It wasn't exactly a glowing endorsement, but it wasn't a takedown either. The article, written by Kent Babb, outlined Mulkey's general life and coaching career at Baylor and LSU. It included some not-so-flattering details about clashes with players and coaches, and even some new quotes about her treatment of gay players.
So, was it a hit piece? Depends on who you ask. Coach Mulkey still maintains it was a hatchet job, but hey, maybe she just prefers her profiles to be written in glitter and confetti.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
The Moral of the Story (Maybe?)
Sometimes, communication is key, folks. A simple conversation between coach and reporter could have avoided this whole drama. But hey, without a little spice, the sports world would be a pretty boring place, right?
In the end, LSU seems to be doing just fine. Coach Mulkey is still leading the Tigers, and The Washington Post is still putting out articles (hopefully without the threat of lawsuits).
