The rivalry between WNBA rookie Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark inspires plenty of intriguing debate and discussion. It also is inciting disgusting hatred. Evidence of this came in a viral X post on Tuesday from Val Whiting, a former WNBA player who is rumored to be Reese’s mental performance coach.

Whiting wrote:

“Angel Reese gets a lot of racially motivated hate. I believe she gets this more than any player in the league. Here is a one screenshot that her mother shared with me from a guy named William Martina. “He actually used his real name and email address and contacted the Angel Reese Foundation to be mean and racist.

“I also attached a text message from an unknown person that said vile things as well. Both of these people showed that they are fans of Caitlin Clark. “Angel’s mom said that they get these type of emails and text messages every week.”
