The basketball fan community is stirring when Erica Wheeler publicly expressed his support for Angel Resee instead of Caitlin Clark. This action has caused a wave of fierce controversy among those who love this sport.
The controversial flame is sparked
It all started when Erica Wheeler, a veteran WNBA player, made comments that showed strong support for Angel Reese, a player full of personality of Chicago Sky. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark, a young star, is attracting attention at WNBA, receiving widely attention and support from fans.
Wheeler’s actions were quickly considered when she showed sympathy with Reese after some controversy regarding Reese’s style of competition. Some people think that Angel Rese often acts to provoke opponents on the field, while others think that she simply shows a fierce spirit of competition.
Fans respond violently
As soon as Erica Wheeler spoke, the Caitlin Clark fans community could not hide his indignation. On social networks, many criticized Wheeler because she thought that she was not fair with Clark, who was considered as one of WNBA’s brightest talents.
“Why choose to stand on the side of Reese while it is clear that Clark is the one who is treated unfairly?” – A fan of Caitlin Clark expressed on Twitter.
However, the supporters of Wheeler and Reese said that the reaction from Caitlin Clark fans was too much. “Angel Reese does nothing wrong, she just plays football in her style. Erica Wheeler has the right to support anyone she wants!” – A fan of Reese countered.
The bigger problem of WNBA?
This controversy does not only stop at the individual Wheeler, Reese or Clark, but also reflects a bigger problem in WNBA: the division between the play styles and the way the public welcomes the players. While Clark is considered a natural talent with skillful techniques, Reese stands out thanks to the blood and confident manner on the field.
Although controversy has not shown signs of cooling down, one thing is for sure that the confrontation between these names will continue to stir the basketball village wave in the near future.
