Social Media Drags Angel Reese For Stupid Shot At Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese has set social media on fire after appearing to take a shot at Caitlin Clark.

Reese and the Chicago Sky beat the New York Liberty 90-81 Thursday, and for some unknown reason, the WNBA rookie decided to hop on X and take a completely unprompted shot at Clark.

The former LSU star tweeted, "and that's on getting a WIN in a packed area [sic] not just cause of one player on our charter flight. #SKYTOWN." She later deleted the tweet.

It's also likely Reese intended to take a shot at Charles Barkley for saying Clark is the reason WNBA players now fly chartered planes and they should be grateful for her existence. You can see a screenshot of the now-deleted tweet below.

Social media reacts to Angel Reese's deleted tweet.

Unfortunately for Reese, screenshots are forever, and people on social media had plenty to say. Take a look at some of the reactions below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

It's honestly amazing the kind of outrage and reaction Clark has sparked since being taken first overall in the WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever.

The former Iowa star has already elevated the league, and instead of her being celebrated, it seems like the media and players want to tear her down.

A'ja Wilson implied Clark was a big deal because she's white, Jemele Hill pretty much did the same and now Reese is carrying on her feud from college.

Does the WNBA want to turn fans away? Does the league want to squander a golden opportunity? The WNBA barely moved the needle.

Now, more people are paying attention than ever before, and that's in large part because of Caitlin Clark. Everyone in the league should be grateful for her presence. After all, a rising tide lifts all ships.

That's a mentality so many don't seem to have. Instead, some people are content pushing negativity. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
