After Accusing Caitlin Clark Supporters of Racism, Angel Reese Texted Sheryl Swoopes to Support Her Amid Attack From the Same Fans

Sheryl Swoopes lack of love for Caitlin Clark and her refusal to praise the rookie led to a barrage of criticism on social media.

However, she has found an ally in Angel Reese, who claims she has experienced the same vitriol on social media as the Hall of Famer.

On the latest episode of the Unapologetically Angel podcast, the Chicago Sky center revealed she reached out to Swoopes and extended her support to the four-time WNBA champion .

She said, Reese also praised Swoopes for fighting back on social media and hailed the 53-year-old as a source of inspiration.

The Sky forward also revealed that Swoopes might appear on her podcast soon, saying, The Hall of Famer will find Reeses support comforting after being chastised relentlessly on social media.

Swoopes was not only called out by fans for her apparent disdain for Clark but also analyst Stephen A.

Smith and fellow basketball icon Nancy Lieberman .

She revealed that after the duo flamed her on The Stephen A.

Smith Show , she received a threat from a fan on her phone.

In a since-deleted post on X, the four-time NBA champion wrote, Swoopes has been vocal, and completely mum at an inopportune time, when expressing her opinion about the Indiana Fever sensation.

However, she has largely either doubted her ability or downplayed her impact.

Fans havent taken kindly to the Hall of Famers inability to laud Clark and have been constantly attacking her for it on social media.

To her credit, Clark hasnt stirred the pot further by commenting on the situation.

She has showcased the same poise in her rivalry with Reese.

While the rookie has been busy creating history on the court, Swoopes and the Fever star have been busy fending off her fans..
