Angel Reese, the WNBA sensation and former LSU star, has stirred controversy by backing a TikTok video that accuses Caitlin Clark’sfans of racism. This recent development comes amid a long-standing rivalry between Reese and Clark, which has recently become more pronounced in the public eye.
On the debut episode of her podcast, Reeseclaimed that there is significant racism associated with discussions about Clark. She has since supported a TikTok video from user @Theluncheonlawyer, which argues that Clark’s fans are driven by racial motivations rather than genuine appreciation for her basketball skills. The video suggests that Clark’s supporters prefer her as a symbol in a sport largely dominated by Black women, rather than valuing her athletic talent.
