Former American swimmer Riley Gaines shared her strong thoughts on Chicago Sky forward Angel Resse’s recent exchange of words with the referee during a match against the New York Liberty that led to the latter’s disqualification from the game.
The incident unfolded on Tuesday when Reese was ejected from the game, and it ended with 88-75 Sky’s defeat against Liberty. It was when the game reached its final moments and Reese had already received a foul. When 2:31 minutes were remaining, Reese was given another foul that led to her first WNBA ejection. Following that, the referee said the athlete was “disrespectfully addressing” an official.
The incident was met with mixed reactions from the sports world. Some backed Angel Reese, while others criticized the athlete for her actions. Joining the list of critics was Riley Gaines, who took it to X (formerly Twitter) and reposted Fox News’ coverage of the incident and wrote:
This was not the first time Riley Gaines called out Reese publicly for not embodying the ideal sportsmanship spirit. Gaines previously reacted to a post by Reese, which was allegedly targeted at Caitlin Clark. Riley Gaines’ take on Angel Reese’s post for Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever.
Riley Gaines is known for following various sports up close and expressing her υπfiltered ορίnіоnѕ оn mаnу topics. In a similar vein, Gaines expressed her disappointment in Angel Reese recently after the latter took a dig at Caitlin Clark and her team, Indiana Fever, through a tweet.
It happened when Reese’s team defeated the New York Liberty. Post the game, Reese made a tweet mocking Clark and Fever for becoming the first WNBA team to charter a flight. She tweeted: “And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area, not just cause of one player on our charter flight #SKYTOWN.”
The above tweet did not sit well with Reese, and it caught the attention of Riley Gaines, who replied: “Incredibly disheartening to see Angel Reese attack Caitlin Clark like this. Just entirely baseless and distasteful. The tweet screams jealousy and insecurity.”
Chennedy Carter is making waves after her recent request for a re-evalu ation of her ranking on ESPN’s list of the WNBA’s top 25 players was overlooked.
Frustrated by being placed at the bottom of the list, Carter has publicly voiced her dissatisfaction, alleging that the rankings were skewed by Caitlin Clark (CC) and her supporters. According to Carter, this manipulation affected her position unfairly and overshadowed her true potential.
Despite her appeals for a review, ESPN has not responded, and the controversy has intensified. The WNBA has backed Carter’s claim, suggesting that Clark’s influence may have played a role in how the rankings were determined. This has led to heated discussions within the league and among fans about fairness and bias in player evaluations.
Her request for a reassessment has gone unanswered, prompting her to question the delay. “I’m still waiting for an answer. Why would you take that long to respond to an important issue?” Carter asked on her Tiktok clip, expressing her discontent with the lack of response from the network.
Chennedy Carter Blasts ESPN Over List That Ranks Her Below Caitlin Clark
ESPN recently released its rankings of the top 25 players in the WNBA, and Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter was less than thrilled with her spot on the list.
Among the top 25 players, Carter was ranked 24th — five spots below her rookie teammate Angel Reese, who was 19th, and nine spots below Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, who was 15th.
“How I average less minutes and my stats top in the league??? but I am at the BOTTOM this isn’t adding up, the hate be so obvious,” she wrote.
Carter’s frustrations seem valid.
A’ja Wilson, Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike are the only players in the top 12 in scoring with a higher scoring efficiency than Carter, who also has the sixth-best field-goal percentage of any player in ESPN’s top 25.
Despite averaging the fewest minutes (25.1) of any player in the top 35 in scoring, she ranks 13th in the league with 17.2 points per game. Carter is also sixth in made field goals per game (7.3), 10th in field-goal percentage (51.8) and tied for 18th in steals per game (1.3).
Not to mention Carter leads the Sky in scoring and is second on the team in field-goal percentage, scoring efficiency and shooting efficiency.
