Fans declare Angel Reese should sue after a headline uploaded to Snapchat suggests the Chicago Sky star is going to quit the WNBA after one year, as fans grow tired of the headlines around her.
One of the most popular and controversial players in women’s basketball, the 22-year-old is often in the news but now fans believe the boundary of acceptability has been crossed and thus she should make a stand for herself after the latest episode.
This time, the headline suggests she will quit the WNBA “again”, but the catch is that she never quit it to begin with meaning that this is misinformation at best and disinformation at worst and aims to use her image to collect clicks.
The outcome is that fans are left incensed and have taken to X.com, formerly Twitter, to voice their frustrations as they say the problem spans multiple social media platforms and not just Snapchat.
One user wrote, “I’m sick of it!! It’s time to sue!!”
A second added, “It’s getting out of hand honestly.”
Whilst a third said, “Can’t even search her name on YouTube it’s so bad.”
And a fourth concluded, “Disgusting, You Tube is bad as well! As a fan I just keep reporting everything that I can!”
Reese delivers message to critics
Reese, despite being so confidently outspoken, is yet to comment on the matter but she did recently take up issue with her critics after she attended an NBA game during her winter break as she watched the Boston Celtics take on the Orlando Magic.
The youngster backed the Magic for the win, through their association with Shaquille O’Neal who is her mentor, and she wasn’t disappointed as the scarcely-manned Floridian side won 1-8-104 at the Kia Center.

Reese then took the chance to hit out at some of her haters online by rhetorically and sarcastically asking, “What’s my record now???”
She will next take to the WNBA court on May 17 when she takes on Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever to kick off the 2025 season. The Sky look to improve on their .325 record (13 wins) from the previous year.
JuJu Watkins and how being from Los Angeles may hurt her in her goal to surpass Caitlin Clark
Watkins has stolen the spotlight with her remarkable achievements

As Caitlin Clark transitions from a record-setting NCAA career to making waves in the WNBA, the search for the next generational talent in women’s basketball intensifies. Among the standout contenders is USC’s JuJu Watkins, whose remarkable achievements and electrifying playstyle have captured national attention.
Yet, despite her undeniable talent, the challenges of her environment and circumstances may hinder her quest to replicate Clark‘s legendary status.
On the latest episode of Fearless with Jason Whitlock, Whitlock highlighted the contrasting environments that shaped the rise of Caitlin Clark and JuJu Watkins.
“Well, Caitlin Clark was in Iowa in the middle of nowhere,” Whitlock explained.
“She wasn’t in the entertainment capital of the world. She wasn’t in a city that had 75-degree weather year-round and open beaches. She grew up in and continued to play in a little isolated area of the country where people are starved for entertainment. And so, she built a huge following right there in the state of Iowa, her home state.”
Clark‘s basketball-centric environment in Iowa offered a singular focus and rabid local support that fueled her rise to stardom.
In contrast, Watkins competes for attention in Los Angeles, where the allure of beaches, Hollywood, and a saturated entertainment landscape present unique distractions. This fragmented focus could impact her ability to cultivate the same level of national adoration that Clark commanded.
