"Controversy Surrounding LA Times Columnist's Apology for LSU Women's Team Remarks"
Los Angeles Times columnist Ben Bolch apologized for using "deeply offensive" descriptions of the LSU women's basketball team in a column about their NCAA tournament matchup with UCLA, acknowledging that his choice of words was wrong and not intended to be hurtful. LSU coach Kim Mulkey criticized the column as "sexist" and called out the offensive language, prompting the newspaper to update and remove the controversial phrases. This comes after Mulkey's public feud with the Washington Post over a profile that she deemed a "hit piece."
