Because the daybreak of time, folks have tried to take down cool, proficient, stunning girls, and belief that in 2025, that development has sadly caught round. WNBA star Angel Reese is essentially the most sufferer of this, and whereas I assume nobody ought to be stunned, it’s fairly disappointing. The Chicago Sky’s rookie posted movies of her New 12 months’s Eve outfit and was instantly slammed by folks on-line for displaying an excessive amount of pores and skin.
Stuff like that’s as predictable because the ending to a fairy story. That’s the unlucky half, nevertheless it’s additionally price speaking about the truth that she seemed extremely stunning. She wore a floor-length leopard print lace robe with a stomach-deep neckline that very a lot provides Jennifer Lopez in that Versace costume and a excessive leg slit. The costume clearly confirmed off her physique, and that was sufficient to ship a whole mob of offended feedback.
This morning, Reese appeared to have deactivated her Instagram in response to the negativity. A whole lot of the feedback had been shaming her for displaying off her physique, suggesting that she persist with taking part in basketball. That is apparent and boring misogyny, the concept knowledgeable athlete can’t additionally get pleasure from being horny or getting dressed up for an evening out. Reese was a university pupil this time final 12 months, and clearly she has a life outdoors of her job, identical to everybody else. This notion is, after all, by no means complicated for male athletes, whose private lives and even precise scandals aren’t ever given a lot seriousness, so long as they’re GOATs on the courtroom.
The excellent news is Reese has shooters. Her supporters are simply as loud as her haters.
