A Controversial Invitation
The drama surrounding LSU star Angel Reese and First Lady Jill Biden has captured headlines, as Reese firmly rejects Biden's apology over a contentious White House invite. The controversy began after Biden suggested that both the championship-winning LSU team and the runner-up Iowa team should visit the White House, a break from the tradition of inviting only the winners.

Reese, clearly unimpressed with the suggestion, did not hold back her feelings. During an interview on the "I Am Athlete" podcast, Reese said, "If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House."
