Sydney Colson slams former NBA Star for sexist comments about Angel Reese
Jeff Teague and Charleston White went too far in their comments about Reese and the WNBA.
Angel Reese has had to endure all kinds of misogynistic and sexist comments.
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.
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.
In a recent episode of the podcast “Club 520” that he co-hosts with Jeff Teague, White said, “I’m with Shaq. Dunk in some panties with no bra on. That’s how you sell tickets. We need an OnlyFs WNBA-then I’ll tune in.”
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.

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.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark sparked some fun conversation after a lively exchange during a TikTok Live session hosted by her former Iowa Hawkeye teammates, Gabbie Marshall and Jada Gyamfi. Clark’s candid comments ranged from playful critiques of Marshall’s headphones to sharing that she was playing Scrabble during the live stream.
These interactions highlight the friendly camaraderie between Clark and her former teammates, even after becoming a household name since moving to the WNBA. The Fever star maintains close ties with her Iowa friends, frequently participating in lighthearted social media exchanges that reflect their strong bonds.
Earlier this year, on the podcast “Talking Hawks with the VandeBergs,” Jada Gyamfi discussed her relationship with her Hawkeye seniors, emphasizing how she leaned on them for support. She noted that Clark’s humorous and friendly nature made it easy for them to connect.
“Caitlin was an easy one cause we could sit and laugh for hours. She’s really funny. I’m really funny and I knew her kind of coming into this,” she said back then.
As well as their interactions over social media, the former teammates continue to celebrate each other’s achievements. Iowa recently announced plans to retire Clark’s No. 22 jersey during a special ceremony at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on February 2. The announcement was met with widespread praise, including a cheeky comment from Gyamfi, who remarked: “She must’ve been really good!”
Clark’s NCAA career at Iowa was nothing short of historic as she went on to average 28.4 points and 8.2 assists per game over four years, and shooting 37.7% from beyond the arc. Her leadership propelled the Hawkeyes to three Big Ten championships and two NCAA title game appearances in 2023 and 2024.
“I’m forever proud to be a Hawkeye, and Iowa holds a special place in my heart that goes beyond basketball,” Clark said of her time at Iowa.
