Watch: Angel Reese, Chennedy Carter Under Fire After Fans Fact-Check Alleged 'Harassment' - 'What a Joke' (2024)

Angel Reese and other Chicago Sky players are throwing around allegations of harassment that others say make the “W” in WNBA stand for whiners.

On social media, the claims are being judged harshly, with Reese being dubbed a “hypocritical snowflake” by one user while another commented “Yall want to be treated like nba players and can’t handle ONE person asking questions???? Yeah wnba don’t deserve popularity.”

The emergence of Caitlin Clark put the WNBA in the spotlight, which meant that howls of outrage greeted a cheap shot delivered by the Sky’s Chennedy Carter against Clark on Saturday — one that Reese applauded.

With that as the background, Carter was quizzed by an onlooker about Clark as she went into a D.C. hotel, according to a video posted to X.

“Have you gotten a chance to reach out to Caitlin?” the individual asked Carter several times as a security guard approached to get in the individual’s face. Carter continued to walk into the hotel.

“They demand to be treated the same as NBA players but not with the scrutiny of being a public figure that comes along with it,” Greg Price posted to X.

Angel Reese and a bunch of other players on the WNBA’s Chicago Sky claimed that they were “harassed” while getting to their hotel in DC.

Turns the “harassment” was a guy politely asking a question to the chick that hipchecked Caitlin Clark.

Reese was in a tizzy.

“[F]inding out our teams hotel to pull with a camera as we get off the bus and put it in my teammates face & HARASS her is NASTY WORK. this really is outta control and needs to STOP,” she posted on X.

“It’s still extremely weird & crosses the boundaries meeting us right when we get off the bus,” Sky teammate Michaela Onyenwere posted on X, later adding, “Interesting how the video posted was edited and doesn’t include when he harassed our staff while calling us ‘ghetto b******’ and saying ‘women’s sports isn’t s***’. We are not about to normalize things like that.”

Sky teammate Brianna Turner said the hate was racism pure and simple.

No. I will not accept racism as “part of the game”. No I’m not sensitive. And no I won’t simply ignore the ignorant takes I’ve seen. The majority of you commenting could care less about the success of the WNBA and are only concerned with division.

But for some, the claims rang hollow, as posters wrote “What a joke!” and other similar comments.

What a joke. 😂

Waving your arms and jumping around in someone’s face is closer to “harassment” than just asking questions with a camera

Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said police were not called and the incident “was over as fast as it started,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
