The “rivalry” between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is not a real thing, and Reese is “not a professional” and “not mature.” At least, this is what one former police officer and now conservative political commentator thinks of the recent issues surrounding the Chicago Sky star.
In one of the recent episodes of Jason Whitlock’s program “Fearless,” Officer Brandon Tatum was the guest host, and he got honest about his take on the recent controversies involving Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
For Tatum, the “rivalry” between Clark and Reese simply do not exist, and is moast definitely not a race thing.
“Every time you turn around, they’re blaming race on things that obviously have nothing to do with race,” Tatum said. “Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is not a race thing. Caitlin Clark is a baller. Angel Reese is nowhere near as good as Caitlin Clark.”
“You look on her social media. She’s dressing like a stripper. She has no decorum. She’s not a professional. She’s not mature. She has a ghetto mentality and attitude that is not receptive in the WNBA when it comes to ratings and how they’re gonna grow and be successful.”
“Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is not a race thing. Caitlin Clark is a baller. Angel Reese is nowhere near as good as Caitlin Clark… you look on her social media. She’s dressing like a stripper… she’s not a professional.” – @theofficertatum on the Clark-Reese beef. pic.twitter.com/NAwaFalKHv

Angel Reese faced criticism following a heated moment with Caitlin Clark during a recent game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. The incident occurred when Clark committed a flagrant foul on Reese, slapping her arm hard enough to knock the ball loose and send Reese to the floor. Reese immediately confronted Clark, but the situation was quickly diffused by other players.
The fallout from the incident sparked intense debate, with some commentators accusing Reese of harboring resentment toward Clark, while others defended her as a competitive athlete caught in the moment.
Former NFL Star Draws Conclusion: “Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark”
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III recently got himself mixed into the controversy for boldly drawing conclusion about how Angel Reese truly feels for Caitlin Clark.
“Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark,” Griffin said in his post. “It’s staring us all right in the face, but people are afraid to say it. Won’t answer questions about Caitlin Clark. Gets mad when people praise Caitlin Clark for the explosion of popularity around Women’s Basketball.”
“Celebrates when her teammates flagrantly foul Caitlin Clark. Goes after and tries to punch Caitlin Clark after a routine ‘make them earn it foul’ after Angel Reese fouled Aaliyah Boston with a push in the back that wasn’t called.”
“That’s not just hate. That’s jealousy and resentment.”
