Angel Reese, a prominent figure in women’s basketball, recently addressed an incident involving an NC State fan who displayed a sign reading “Angel Reese Stinks” during a game against Notre Dame. The fan’s sign was photographed alongside NC State Coach Wes Moore, leading to widespread criticism.
Reese responded to the image by highlighting the absurdity of the situation. She remarked, “What?! These losers could never. Now he’ll cry he can’t read. So he didn’t know.”
This incident is part of a broader pattern of fan misconduct directed at Reese. Earlier, she revealed that some fans of her rival, Caitlin Clark, had sent her death threats and inappropriate AI-generated images. Reese condemned this behavior, emphasizing the need for respect and humanity in sports interactions.
The controversy surrounding the NC State fan and Coach Moore underscores the challenges athletes face with fan behavior. While some fans express their opinions through signs and gestures, it’s crucial to maintain respect and sportsmanship. Reese’s response reflects her resilience and commitment to promoting a positive environment in women’s basketball.
