Angel Reese's mother takes aim at the racist comments her daughter receives
Angel Reese is still adjusting to being an international sports star as she enjoys her first season in the WNBA with the Chicago Sky and unfortunately, she has found herself dealing with lots of racist messages.
Her mother has had more than enough and has publicly highlighted the problem that her daughter faces every day, hitting back at the nasty messages.
What makes it an even more delicate situation is that many of the messages appear to be coming from people who identify as Caitlin Clark fans.
What has to be made clear is that no behavior from Caitlin Clark has encouraged people to send racist messages to Angel Reese. The pair have got a sporting rivalry that was fostered in the NCAA and has carried over into the WNBA with Clark now playing for the Indiana Fever.
It is an individual decision to send a racist message to a player on social media.
