Angel Reese’s achievements on the basketball court are truly extraordinary, especially considering the immense amount of hate and animosity she endures from numerous fans.
While Reese has a dedicated fan base, it pales in comparison to that of Caitlin Clark. The disparity in support is stark, and it has manifested in disturbing ways on social media. Reese’s mother recently exposed the racist abuse directed at her daughter by fans of Clark, sharing screenshots of these vile messages with former WNBA player Val Whiting.
Whiting revealed that Reese’s mother sent her two racially charged messages aimed at the Chicago Sky rookie. The content of these messages made it clear they were from Caitlin Clark supporters.
One message read, “Sorry but you can’t dress up as anything but you are what you are. thug comes to mind..,go Caitlin.”
The second message was even more vicious: “Black b—ch you disgust me with your silly jealous antics, let your daughter shine and [stop] teaching her to be jealous to get attention! Stop being a black ratchet gutter b—ch s black women look bad, and stop talking about cc, she got that swag, she changing the game be glad your daughter got a chance to even play in the W!! Cuz if it wasn’t for cc nobody would know your low gpa having daughter.”
Whiting emphasized the explicit affiliation of these hateful messages with Caitlin Clark’s fan base in her post on X. The post quickly went viral, prompting Whiting to highlight the racially motivated backlash Clark herself has faced over the years.
