"Kim Mulkey's Impact on Women's Basketball Coverage and Rivalries"

LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey criticized a Los Angeles Times column for using "sexist" language to describe her team and their matchup against UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. The column, which originally referred to LSU as "dirty debutantes" and "villains," was updated after Mulkey's objections. The phrase and other references were removed, though the headline still contained some of the language. Mulkey expressed her disapproval, emphasizing her role as a leader of young people, and later stated that she was informed of the updates but did not expect an apology.
