Angel Reese is a star in her own right. However, many fans and so-called analysts fail to see past her physical appearance, making inappropriate comments at every opportunity. Tired of it, two-time WNBA champion Sydney Colson put a hard stop to it.
Her skill with the ball and her dominance of the backboard made Reese a force to be reckoned with in her rookie year in the WNBA. Although a wrist injury ended her season prematurely, the Chicago Sky forward set several records, including consecutive double-doubles and double-doubles for a rookie.
In addition to her talent, Reese’s physical beauty is undeniable. Her attractiveness has rendered her juicy sponsorships, and her undeniable presence has turned her arrival at Sky games into a catwalk. But there are those who mistake Reese’s sex appeal for permission to make raunchy comments.
The lames at the Club 520 Podcast thought Charleston White’s ignorant comments about Angel Reese were worthy enough to post. Jeff Teague should be embarrassed. Imagine thinking this episode would lead to a collaboration with the WNBA. Nasty work

Colson’s anger
In a comment on X (formerly Twitter), Sydney Colsonblasted the comments that influencer Charleston White made about Reese hours earlier on a podcast. “Having an ignorant *ss sexist on and then actually dropping the episode and then wanting to collab with the W is craaazy work lmao,” said the player, indignant.
The influencer referenced an unfortunate comment former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal made while appearing on Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. The comments caused serious backlash for Shaq and the same is happening to White.
Havin an ignorant ass sexist on and then actually dropping the episode and then wanting to collab with the W is craaazy work lmao https://t.co/7OLBq1Mq6i

Netizens immediately rallied in support of the Las Vegas Aces guard. “I couldn’t even get through the whole clip. That’s disgusting,” one user said, followed by another saying, “I would never watch anything with CW on it but for them to sit there and laugh at what he’s saying…”
While it’s hard to expect White or Teague to apologize for the comments, it’s possible that the public’s perception of women’s sports and female athletes is starting to change for the better. At least there’s hope.

The Go Bowling Military Bowl between East Carolina and NC State got so out of hand that eight players were ejected in an all-out brawl that led to one of the referees getting a cut that caused bleeding.
East Carolina sealed the Go Bowling Military Bowl when Dontavius Nash picked off CJ Bailey’s pass attempt with less than a minute remaining. That play put the final stamp on a 26-21 victory for Blake Harrell’s group.
The brawl led to eight player ejections, with one of the referees suffering a cut that led to noticeable cut and blood on his face.
As you can see in the videos below, it appears that the brawl commenced after East Carolina’s Yannick Smith grabbed the towel of Tamarcus Cooley on NC State:
