In a shocking turn of events, WNBA star Brittney Griner has stirred up significant controversy by directly calling Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese "traitors to America" and threatening that they would not be forgiven if they chose to play for the Canadian team.

This statement has sparked intense debate among basketball fans and the sports community at large.

Griner's harsh words came in response to speculation that Clark and Reese might consider playing for a team outside the United States.

Her comments have divided fans, with some supporting her patriotic stance while others criticize her for what they perceive as an overreaction and unfair judgment.

Supporters of Griner argue that loyalty to one's country is paramount, especially for athletes representing their nation on international stages. They believe that Clark and Reese should remain committed to playing for American teams and view Griner's remarks as a rightful call to uphold national pride and integrity.

On the other hand, critics argue that professional athletes have the right to choose where they play based on their career aspirations and personal circumstances.

They view Griner's comments as unnecessarily harsh and believe that such decisions should be respected rather than condemned.

The debate has highlighted the broader issue of player autonomy and the pressures athletes face regarding national loyalty versus career opportunities.

As the conversation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Clark and Reese will respond to Griner's remarks and whether this controversy will impact their future decisions.

The incident underscores the passionate emotions that sports can evoke and the complex dynamics athletes navigate in their professional journeys.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this situation develops and what it might mean for the future of basketball on both sides of the border.

Jason Whitlock lashed out at Angel Reese in a scathing rant this week, branding the Chicago Sky forward the most overrated athlete in sports.

Reese has been one of the best players in the women’s game for a while now, yet she still has plenty of critics. Many of those happen to be Caitlin Clark fans, with Whitlock a detractor who reckons she’s jealous of the Indiana Fever star.

Despite winning a national championship with LSU and averaging a double-double in the pros, Reese appears to have much more to do before she can win some folks over.

Whitlock took some shots at the former Lady Tigers star on Tuesday, suggesting she must get laughs out of Candace Parker.

He also criticized the entire WNBA, suggesting that Reese is as unskilled as any player in the league.

“She is awkward… Her lower body seems to be disconnected from her upper body. She’s incredibly unathletic. She has no skill, no postgame. I’m sure Candace Parker watches her and laughs.” Whitlock said.

“That’s the difference between you and Candace Parker she doesn’t look and laugh she loves her sisters,” one of the comments read. “It’s one thing to point out flaws in someone’s game but why do it with so much disdain? Someone hurt you bad!”

“She brings fans and is unique she is def not someone to hate on like this.” another pointed out.

Angel Reese Is Adjusting To The WNBA Like Every Other Rookie

While Angel Reese isn’t as efficient as she hoped she would be in the WNBA, she holds her own on the court and remains a rebounding machine.

Of course, there is a learning curve in the pros, and she’s still adjusting to the WNBA, as is Caitlin Clark.

Jason Whitlock went way too far with this one, but Reese has time on her side and will be looking to prove all of her critics wrong in the coming years.
