The video player is currently playing an ad.
Earlier this month, the Chicago Sky rookie opened up about the difficulties that have come with her rise to stardom.
That led her to speak on being the target of racism and death threats from fans of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.
That comment paved the way for a wave of backlash against Caitlin Clark from her own fan base after social media noticed she liked Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Many fans began to take their fandom away immediately.
TikTok user @Theluncheonlawyer shared a video claiming fans of Clark never cared about basketball and only wanted her to be the face of racism as a tool to use against Reese.
“They wanted her to be the face of racism so bad,” she says in the clip. “The whole time, she just wanted to play basketball, get her sponsorships, and go home. Turns out, she doesn’t want to be the brand ambassador for hatred.
“This really confirms a lot of people were never Caitlin Clark fans. You were just Angel Reese haters. You didn’t care about Caitlin Clark’s s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s. You liked that she was a white woman performing exceptionally in a sport dominated by black women. So, instead of appreciating Caitlin for being an incredibly talented player, it was all about being anti-Angel Reese. That’s not weird to y’all?”
Angel Reese saw the video and delivered a four-word response, “You left no crumbsssss,” she wrote.
For those unaware, that means something was done or said perfectly.
