This article is clearly pushing a negative narrative about Angel Reese, using loaded language like “obliterated,” “scandalous behavior,” and “playing PR games.” It frames her actions in a way that assumes bad intent, rather than providing a balanced perspective.
Reese is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in women’s basketball, but the way she’s covered often reflects broader issues—such as how confident and outspoken female athletes, especially Black women, are treated differently in sports media. The article brings up her rivalry with Caitlin Clark but focuses only on moments that paint Reese as a villain, ignoring the competitive nature of sports and the fact that Clark herself engages in trash talk.
Furthermore, it criticizes Reese for speaking out on business matters like WNBA salaries, something male athletes do all the time without facing the same level of scrutiny. The reference to her “probably” making up a story also seems designed to discredit her without offering concrete proof.
Overall, this piece seems more about stirring controversy than providing fair analysis of Reese’s career or her impact on the WNBA.
