Women’s basketball star Angel Reese has stirred up controversy by publicly supporting a dramatic social media video that accused some of Caitlin Clark’s fans of being racist and anti-WNBA.

The video, which has since gone viral with millions of views, made comments aimed at the way Angel Reese and other black players are often criticized, while Iowa’s star Caitlin Clark is praised for similar actions.

Reese didn’t hesitate to express her support, sharing the video with the caption:

*”The truth needs to be told. This is not personal, it’s a larger issue with how people view us in the WNBA.”*

Soon, the online community exploded with mixed opinions. Some people sided with Angel Reese, saying she was brave to speak out about the injustices that many black female athletes face.

*”Angel spoke the truth that many people are afraid to admit. Why is Caitlin Clark praised for the same action as ‘confident’, while Angel is considered ‘arrogant’?”*

However, Caitlin Clark’s supporters were quick to hit back, accusing Reese of trying to “heat up the public” and causing unnecessary conflict.

Another wrote:
*”This is not about racism, this is about how you conduct yourself on the court. Angel needs to stop making this personal.”*

The controversy has raised big questions about how female players are perceived in the sports world, especially when the WNBA is trying to build its image and attract more fans.

While the debate continues, both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are proving that fierce competition does not stop on the court but also spreads strongly through social media.
