Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese is not happy.
With additional focus on the racism some WNBA fans showed during the regular season and the league’s playoffs, the Chicago Sky star decided to say her peace on the situation.
Angel Reese responded to a conversation about the racist slurs some players have faced and said she has “been going through this for the last two years.” She also said the media has “benefited from my pain” in order “to create a narrative.”
Reese made it clear that she started her podcast “to take my voice back” and said that “something has to change.”
“Y’all know I’ve been going through this for the last two years but was told ‘save the tears’ and ‘stop playing victim,’” Reese said. “Y’all a little late to the party and could have tried to put out this fire way before it started.”
