The WNBA star, Angel Reese, addressed fans who suggested that, due to her appearance, she does not “take basketball.”
Reese, who has won a reputation for an emphasis on striking makeup and attire since his career began in the WNBA in 2024, went to the subject during the episode back to his podcast “Un Polagétically Angel” on Thursday.
“Let’s make some things clear. Just because I’m fine, it doesn’t mean that I don’t take basketball seriously. Like that complete concert, all that gag, like leaving it. Let’s leave. I feel. I’m sorry. I like it, I’m sorry. I feel, I feel, you have to talk to my mother. I feel. Reese said.

“So I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, but I’m sorry for those who feel some kind of way they can’t be well and play basketball.”
Reese continued to say that he will not publish basketball content “24/7” in the next season.
“That little everything like, ‘enters the gym or climbs into the kitchen or you know,’ it is cheesy,” he said.
Reese and his fellow WNBA player, Dijonai Carrington, previously addressed comments about their appearances during an episode of their podcast in March.
“It is difficult, especially because two black women do not apologize, we are going to exploit our S — and say what we have to say. And I stop what we said. I feel it is really difficult,” Reese said. “I hate when people say that, ‘Oh, she is too worried about her makeup and her hair and her eyelashes and her nails and their attire.”

Carrington said it is not so annoying when people say they pay too much attention to their appearance, but he said “hates” when people ask why blond hair has.
“I hate when people talk about that, like ‘Why do you have blond hair?'” Carrington said. “I have black eyebrows. I have black arm hair, black leg hair … and I don’t care. I’m still a natural blonde.”
Reese later said that, although players like her and Carrington are criticized for making too much effort to look feminine, some WNBA players are also criticized for seems too masculine.

“They complain and say that WNBA players are too manly, not feminine enough. We didn’t see ourselves pretty enough. They don’t want to see a group of young children running along the court. Now, we are too much,” Reese said.
“I am not seeing that wnba. Male and long shorts, they use braids. Everyone likes them. Everyone is given each other. ‘That is not true,” Reese said.
