Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have had a contrasting start to their WNBA careers. While Caitlin has suffered 6 defeats in 7 games with her Indiana Fever side, Reese had a better start with a 2-2 record with Chicago Sky.
After Sky beat the unstoppable Liberty on Thursday night, the former LSU forward took to social media and seemingly took a shot at Caitlin Clark. In a deleted X (formerly known as Twitter) post she wrote, “And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just ’cause of one player on our charter flight.”
After the post, the 22-year-old faced a backlash from the fans, which led to the deletion. While the fans were at it expressing their disapproval of her cheeky jibe, racial insults were thrown, according to her mother. Angel Reese’s mom, Angel Webb Reese, came to her defense and fired back at the critics.Incredibly disheartening to see Angel Reese attack Caitlin Clark like this. Just entirely baseless and distasteful. The tweet screams jealousy and insecurity.
Although, Caitlin Clark probably deserved this given she has white, straight, pretty & tall-privilege. Right, @sunny? pic.twitter.com/CHfIDNOCRo

Caitlin Clark fans slam Angel Reese for her comments, and rightfully so. Angel’s mom defends her. Not a problem. She then calls Caitlin Clark fans racists, and then uses a racial slur while doing it.

The two have quite a history. Last month, Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes sent the LSU Tigers packing in the final eight of the NCAA women’s championship. In the 2023 edition of the event, it was Reese who took the championship home by beating Iowa and taunting Clark after the win. The recent controversy only added a layer to the rivalry, but the firing wasn’t one-sided.
