412. Dawn Staley dis: this is what Geno, Hegseth, and Trump have in common
Sunday, 5 April, 2026

The non-apology apology to #dawnstaley was just what many of us expected in this moment we are in. Just like with the 300,000+ Black women fired, just like the Black woman in the military that Trump didn't want to be seen standing next to, Geno felt very comfortable dismissing Dawn Staley after he completely disrespected her in that moment. Who will stand up for Black people in this moment besides us? I'm not holding my breath based on what I have seen thus far. #uconn #usc #geno #genoauriemma #ncaa #finalfour #marchmadness #marchmadness2026 #short #youtubeshort #viralshorts #viralshort #espn #trojans #huskies #uconnhuskies #youtuber #shortsfeed #trump #trumpnews #hegseth #petehegseth #maga Learn more about your ad choices.
