Angel Reese Reveals Wild Caitlin Clark Comment Fan Made After Rejected Request for Selfie
Angel Reese the talented forward for the Maryland Terrapins women’s basketball team, recently shared a shocking story about a fan’s behavior after she rejected their request for a selfie. According to Reese, the fan made a wild comment about Caitlin Clark, the star guard for the Iowa Hawkeyes, which left Reese speechless.
Reese took to social media to share the story, saying that she was approached by a fan who asked for a selfie after a recent game. However, when Reese politely declined the request, citing that she was in a hurry to leave the arena, the fan became upset and made a surprising comment about Clark.
“I was like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m in a rush to get out of here,'” Reese explained. “And the fan was like, ‘Well, Caitlin Clark would have taken a selfie with me!’ I was like, ‘Uh, okay… that’s not really relevant to this situation.'”
Reese said that she was taken aback by the fan’s comment, and didn’t know how to respond. “I was just like, ‘Okay, well, I’m not Caitlin Clark, I’m Angel Reese,'” she said. “It was just a weird moment, you know?”
The comment has sparked a lively debate on social media, with many fans weighing in on the situation. Some have defended Reese’s decision to decline the selfie request, saying that she has the right to set boundaries and prioritize her own time. Others have criticized the fan for making a comment about Clark, saying that it was unnecessary and unfair.
Clark herself has not commented on the situation, but Reese said that she has spoken to her about the incident. “We had a good laugh about it,” Reese said. “Caitlin’s like, ‘Girl, you don’t have to take a selfie with everybody!’ We just laughed it off and moved on.”
The incident has highlighted the challenges that female athletes face when it comes to interacting with fans. While many fans are respectful and considerate, others can be pushy and entitled, expecting athletes to drop everything to take a selfie or sign an autograph.
Reese said that she tries to be gracious and accommodating when it comes to fan requests, but she also prioritizes her own time and well-being. “I’m happy to take selfies and sign autographs when I can, but I also have to take care of myself,” she said. “I have to make sure I’m getting enough rest and eating well, so I can perform at my best on the court.”
The incident has also sparked a conversation about the importance of respecting athletes’ boundaries and personal space. Reese said that she hopes that fans will think twice before making comments or requests that might be perceived as pushy or entitled.
“I just want fans to understand that we’re human beings, too,” Reese said. “We have feelings and boundaries, just like everybody else. We appreciate the support, but we also need to be treated with respect and kindness.”
In the end, Reese said that she is just focused on moving forward and preparing for the next game. “I’m not going to let one negative comment bring me down,” she said. “I’m just going to keep doing what I do best, and that’s playing basketball and making my fans proud.”
