We didn't have this on our bingo card, but Cooper Flagg's mom is making countless headlines in recent days following newly-minted No. 1 Duke taking care of business against North Carolina basketball over the weekend. All this over Flagg's monster jam in the action?
In case you missed it, Flagg indeed threw down a pretty ferocious jam and the ESPN cameras caught Flagg's mom talking smack to the UNC faithful. Alrighty then. The story was over there, right? Nope, as Mrs. Flagg then took to her Facebook page to rip North Carolina fans, calling them classless. As you might have been able to guess, people aren't too happy about this.
North Carolina fans are livid over Cooper Flagg's mom blasting them online
This is one of the best rivalries in all of college sports. Duke vs. North Carolina on the hardwood? What else needs to be said? However, Flagg's mom simply has to know better than this. Is this the focus her son needs with him in the Player of the Year hunt and Duke pushing for a natty? Nope. Since she made her post, UNC fans have been losing it themselves on social media.
There are plenty of posts with people fired up, sharing expletives as well - we're not going to include those in this piece. Unfortunately, Duke was able to post the win and now the Duke faithful can dunk all over UNC fans too. Here's the point, though - Flagg's mom is supposed to be the adult here. Why is she stirring the pot in eye-opening fashion?
With how viral this moment has gone too, it's safe to assume that cameras are going to be following her closely for the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tourney as well. Jokes are being made that she's going to be getting the Taylor Swift treatment moving forward, but with all the attention she's getting now, something tells us this story isn't going to go away in the near future. It should have never happened in the first place, however.
