She is in professional sport and absolutely sucks at it.

But it's her personality that's shitty

Drew Brees won a Super Bowl for us and is disliked by many fans. Fans did not give him a pass because he is white. Darren Sharper may be more loved than Brees.

I really dont understand the hatred for women's basketball.

The game at the highest level of play is athletically interesting enough to not bore me. Also, because they dont have the elite speed or shooting ability it isn't just constant 3s or dunks. They are forced to play more fundamental and technical ball than the men do.

Just have to change your expectations of athleticism.

I don’t want to go straight to the seemingly obvious reason (starts with an “r” and ends in “ism”). But can someone please help me understand what other reason there is for her to get so much hate? She should be celebrated for what she is doing and has done at LSU.


I followed and supported here for a long time but eventually her choice to delve into polar political opinions and pretty much claim oppression in everything drove me away. Not saying I hate her... I just dont care what she does anymore. And my last big point more than any other... what has she done for LSU since she left.

Compare that with Flaujae who has been very supportive of LSU since leaving.

She's not a likeable person, publicly. She also whined a lot at the beginning of her pro career.

I don't hate Angel, but I would not have known she was in the WNBA finals were it not posted here.

Well, for starters, I never liked how she handled herself winning the national championship following Kaitlyn Clark around for 45 seconds during free throws before the game ended, doing the ring finger thing. That actually made her famous. I’ve never seen a champion do that on live television. It certainly looked personal

I think she has racism toward Clark or jealousy, or whatever you wanna call it, and she thinks that people watch the WNBA because of her, and it’s just not true, as you can read this board, not not even LSU fans like her or follow her in her pro career

The WNBA is not that interesting. Mostly black female lesbians

So when you get a white straight superstar, yes, you add interest from a predominantly white demographic in this country, although it’s fading fast

I don’t think she is very smooth or graceful in her basketball skills. It looks awkward, clumsy, and I just don’t find it entertaining or interesting in the least, and yet you see people on social media supporting her statistics

So I don’t have any hate toward her. I wish her well. I hope she grows up and whatever, but no, I don’t particularly like her

I don’t see how see is unlikable compared to many WNBA stars? It’s a league Of lesbians and otherwise unfeminine women. Angel is less polarizing than Sophie is actually capitalizing on ticking off people.

The lesbian and anti-white contingent doesn’t think she is unlikable.

But the people who are Clark fans who have been labeled as racist for daring to be a fan of Clark, who watched Clark be targeted physically and on social media, who have seen the same behavior towards Sophie can’t stand her.

Caitlin Clark taunting Hailey Van Lith at end of game: "Clark is a fierce competitor, we love her"

Angel Reese taunting Caitlin Clark at end of game: "That girl is a terrible person, how dare she taunt like that."
