Angel Reese Sparks Controversy with TikTok Jab at Caitlin Clark
A fiery TikTok from Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese has triggered a media storm after she referred to Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark as a “scared white girl.” The 15-second clip, which quickly went viral, has split fans and analysts, with many questioning if Reese crossed a line by invoking race and gender.
A Heated Rivalry Rekindled
This feud isn’t new. Tensions between Reese and Clark date back to college and have only intensified in the WNBA. From on-court bumps to pointed social media posts, their rivalry has become must-watch drama.
Backlash and Response
Clark stayed composed, saying, “I’ve got a game to prepare for.” Meanwhile, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert condemned the language: “We cannot tolerate racial slurs.”
League at a Crossroads
The incident raises serious questions about professionalism, race, and social media conduct in women’s sports. As the WNBA considers new guidelines, the moment could serve as a cultural reset or risk overshadowing the league’s growth.
“Words have power—especially in the spotlight,” said former champion Cheryl Miller.
