In a surprising turn of events, Angel Reese, one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball, has announced her decision to leave the United States permanently. Reese, who has been a standout player both in college and professionally, cited a lack of respect and appreciation for her talents and efforts as the primary reasons for her departure. This decision has sent shockwaves through the sports community and has sparked a wide-ranging discussion about the treatment of athletes, particularly women of color, in the United States.
WNBA star Sue Bird tweeted, “Angel Reese is an incredible talent and an even better person. It’s heartbreaking that she feels she has to leave the country to find the respect she deserves. We need to do better.”
