A Sly Swipe on Social Media
Angel Reese, the star of the Chicago Sky, recently caused quite a stir on social media with a since-deleted post seemingly aimed at her WNBA rival, Caitlin Clark. Following a thrilling victory against the New York Liberty, Reese took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate, but her message contained more than just joy over the win. “And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed arena, not just because of one player on our charter flight.
😘 #SKYTOWN,” she tweeted, hinting at Clark’s influence and the hype surrounding her.

Reese’s post seemed to touch on the ongoing debate about charter flights for WNBA teams, an issue that has gained traction thanks to Clark's rising popularity. Former NBA star Charles Barkley recently commented that WNBA players should be thanking Clark for the increased visibility and financial benefits she’s brought to the league.
“All the money and visibility she’s bringing to the WNBA,” Barkley noted, emphasizing Clark's significant impact despite her team, the Indiana Fever, struggling this season.
