Angel Reese Under Fire As WNBA Fans Slam Displeasing Caitlin Clark Message

Several WNBA fans didn't like how Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese addressed the question about her team-up with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the upcoming All-Star Game.

When Clark was asked the same question, the young sharpshooter expressed excitement about playing with Reese and everyone else on the Team WNBA and Team USA rosters. On the other hand, the Sky forward took a different route and made a joke about it.

"Everybody can wear their get-along shirts for one day at least," Reese said, drawing laughter from media members. "I know a lot of people are gonna come and watch us … there's an awful lot of talent within both rosters."

While Angel Reese appeared to be simply trying to make light of the situation, her take didn't come off that way to a lot of people. Many found it disturbing since the comment seemed to imply that outside the All-Star Game, she doesn't "get along" with Clark and other players.

"Yeah I can’t defend shorty no more, her attitude stinks," a commenter harshly said. Another one agreed, "Angel is so unlikable."

"Ohh she hates her hates her," a third social media user shared.

A detractor added, "AR is cringe AF and no ROY … CC living rent free under that weave yo!"

Several commenters also expressed belief that Angel Reese is trying too hard to embrace the villain role opposite of Caitlin Clark.

A critic pointed out, "Angel Reese swear she’s the villain and thinks she’s “built for this” but will get in front of the world and cry and play victim like she did after losing in the Elite 8."

"Damn... does this girl don't have anyone around here her to tell her to drop the whole villain sh*t... not because it's inherently bad, but because she says she's there villain then talks like a victim," a poster furthered.

There were some who defended Reese and emphasized that she's just being sarcastic. Others enjoyed the commentary and how she's fueling the rivalry narrative.

Unfortunately for the young Reese, however, there are more critics than supporters.
