Emmanuel Acho Slammed For Blasting “Villain” Angel Reese’s Tearful Press Conference

“You can’t be the big bad wolf and then kind of cry like Courage the Cowardly Dog.”

Emmanuel Acho has come under fire for seemingly defending the onslaught of criticism and slights directed at Angel Reese following the LSU Lady Tigers’ loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.

Acho, a former collegiate standout at Texas who spent four seasons in the NFL, and his FS1 SPEAK cohosts discussed Reese’s tearful press conference following LSU’s defeat in the Elite 8. During the presser, the star athlete painted herself as a victim that’s been subjected to unwarranted attacks on her character, as well as unwanted sexualization of her body, and even death threats.

According to Acho, Reese’s outpouring of emotion and seeming plea for sympathy was in stark contrast to the persona Reese and LSU as a program had created around themselves as villainous figures within the sport.

“Angel Reese, you can’t be the big bad wolf and then kind of cry like Courage the Cowardly Dog,” the Emmy Award winner said on Tuesday’s (April 2) episode.

“Nobody mourns when the villain catches an L, and, Angel Reese, you’re self-proclaimed to be the villain. Shoutout to you because you were the second best basketball player on the court [against Iowa], and it was not close,” Acho said, referencing standout Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark, Reese’s rival dating back to their matchup in the 2023 NCAA Tournament title game.

“You can’t, under any circumstances, go to the podium and now try to ask for individuals to give you sympathy. Nobody has sympathy for the villain. You painted the bullseye on your back. Why are you surprised when people shoot at you?”

The sports analyst preceded his take by acknowledging the historical marginalization of Black women, but insisted his argument was “gender neutral and racially indifferent,” which a segment of the public and his peers in media took issue with. Some alleged that Acho’s view of the matter was tainted by an underlying disdain for Black women, while others painted the host as an “Uncle Tom” parroting rhetoric handed down by his superiors at Fox.
