Angel Reese lashed out over taunting critics

The sports community might be in outrage and have kept their divided stance over the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese saga. Her performing Cena’s signature gesture was a sensational moment. She also spoke about the criticism over her taunting the opposition and remains unapologetic.

In the post-game press conference, Angel Reese mentioned, “All year I was critiqued about who I was. I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto, y’all told me that all year. When other people do it, y’all don’t say (anything) nothing. This was for the people that look like me.

Was the Lady Tiger right to remain unapologetic for the gesture? Let us know in the comments.
