Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry is being hijacked and it’s just small part of WNBA’s hate-speech problem

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark are back in the spotlight for reasons neither wants.

Clark committed a flagrant foul on Reese in the Fever’s blowout win against the Sky on Saturday.

It was a hard foul — not dirty. Anyone who knows basketball could agree on that.

Reese’s angry reaction to Clark’s foul was valid. Again, anyone who’s played a sport knows how easy it is for emotions to show in the heat of the moment.
