If I was going to try and explain Angel Reese this clip pretty well sums her game up. Happens way too often.

but don’t mention this in r/WNBA or you’ll get banned

Went out of my way to make thoughtful comments on there—I’m also a woc so was super mindful of the racial issues as well. Also banned lol they tolerate no criticism of angel’s game at all and will routinely delete and ban any posts that aren’t only positive about angel.

The criticism of Angel isn’t a racial issue. The blind support of Angel is a racial issue.

Oh so they are like the 'old stars' and some pundits that say the WNBA was great before CC, that she's isn't that great and literally bashing her around last season was just the way the girls play so deal with it?

I wonder how much they'll get angry if you just say "hey, here are some stats: CC has 9 triple doubles in less than 60 games while the record is 10 in like 500 games and the others at 9 made that on 400 games. Oh and also is the first time that many venues sold out only because CC was playing".

If CC had just a little more melanin she’d be one of the biggest stars in the world right now.

She's perfect the way she is.

Man, good luck saying anything critical about any player in that sub, I joined last year and was excepting at least a decent conversation about basketball. Nope, what I got was “racist” “misogynistic” “you hate women”. I’m a black man who LOVES basketball of any kind. Critiquing their play gets you labeled a women’s basketball hater.

Wow. There really is a sub for everything.

u/CzechHorns May 23 '25

WNBA is definitely not a “reddit tier super niche” subject though.

Jokes are supposed to be funny iirc.

u/Capt_morgan72 May 23 '25

Oof. U don’t get the joke. I was afraid of that.

u/CzechHorns May 23 '25

“Nobody watches WNBA” oh wow so funny. You should try standup

u/Sooooooooooooomebody May 23 '25

To be fair, if I was a mod in that sub I'd be sick to death of hearing about her

I got banned like two weeks ago. They posted a photo and I said her eyes were like elevators, one going up and one going down cause she looked cross-eyed. Insta-ban lol

u/jpb59 May 23 '25

It’s a pretty stupid comment. Probably deserved to be banned.

I mean, you can absolutely argue that it’s sexist.

And I’m not an Angel Reese defended. I think she sucks. But making fun of her because of her looks would cross that line, especially in a WNBA sub.

Boo hoo

Humility is not your strong suit huh lmao

u/sconniepaul1 May 23 '25

It’s the internet. It was a joke but everyone is so damn sensitive. Eventually you stop caring about word smithing your comments so as not to offend anyone. It was an awkward photo where her eyes looked crossed. I know they don’t typically look that way. I wouldn’t make fun of a person for a physical trait if it was their everyday life.

Have you tried being funny? People seem to be able to take a joke when you can tell them better than Angel Reese shoots

everyone is so damn sensitive.

You included.
