Newspaper edits its column about LSU-UCLA game after Tigers coach Kim Mulkey blasted it as sexist
Associated PressALBANY, N.Y. — The Los Angeles Times has edited a column it published last week about the LSU women’s basketball team ahead of its game against UCLA following criticism from Tigers coach Kim Mulkey, who blasted it as sexist and hurtful. But I can’t sit up here as a mother and a grandmother and a leader of young people and allow somebody to say that.” The Times removed those references late Saturday as well as one comparing UCLA’s team to “milk and cookies” and republished the column with a note that said: “A previous version of this commentary did not meet Times editorial standards. It has been updated.” UCLA coach Cori Close apologized on social media for retweeting the column, saying in part: “I would never want to promote anything that tears down a group of people in our great game.” Mulkey said Sunday she was only generally aware of the response to her comments a day earlier. “The lawyers will review it, and when this season is over, they’ll give me a call and say, this is our next step,” Mulkey said Sunday.
