On Sunday, another chapter in their rivalry was formed when Former LSU star Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky team lost to Clark’s Indiana Fever, but one play stood out from them all.
In the game, Caitlin Clark was driving to the basket, trying to make a right-handed layup when Reese came over to block her shot. Instead, her elbow would hit Clark’s head, and the common foul would be reviewed, and refs switched it to a flagrant foul.
Matt Leinart, who won a national championship and a Heisman Trophy at USC before flaming out in the NFL, took to his X account and called for Reese to be suspended for her foul on Caitlin Clark, saying, “Angel Reese should be suspended. Period. Not good for the game.”
He added: “No one is soft bud. It’s repetitive tho. Bad for the game.”
Fans took to his comment section and accused him of being racist”
“You know this Angel Reese hate is fueled by racism when all the big racists are showing themselves by acting like that foul was anything other than a basketball player trying to make a play. Y’all need to get over yourselves. Y’all hate just to hate. Grow up. You’re grown ass men acting like babies”.
“Correct.. Somebody tell racist ass @MattLeinartQB and @dannykanell. Two of the most overrated college QB’s of all time. #AngelReese #CaitlinClark”.
“You weren’t good for the game but we didn’t say shit about you”.
