Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has been a headline-maker since her days at LSU, and often not in the best light. Sometimes that\u2019s due to a quote or something she did on the court, but frequently it\u2019s due to narratives that exist around her and the WNBA at large.<\/p>\n
As such, the 22-year-old\u2019s relationship with the media has often been combative<\/a> or hostile<\/a>. And she\u2019s gotten to the point where she feels that she\u2019d be better off getting fined by the league for not speaking with reporters.<\/p>\n Would y\u2019all rather take the fine ? \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n FULL EP.

It\u2019s like, are you here intentionally to start mess or are you intentionally here to ask a question? It\u2019s really tough for me, especially in the media. It\u2019s like, I don\u2019t want to do an interview with anybody.<\/p>\n \u201cI get excited for certain people, like a Taylor [Rooks]. Certain people I know I can talk to, but I\u2019ll take the fine. I literally will take the I\u2019d rather take the fine, seriously. I\u2019d rather take the fine sometimes rather than talking to the media because it always gets flipped.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, the media is really scary. That\u2019s why I have never been on anybody else\u2019s podcast. I\u2019m scared to do stuff like that because I know how things could get flipped.\u201d<\/p>\n Reese and two other Sky players skipped out on media exit interviews<\/a> at the end of the WNBA season. She was suspended by the team a few weeks earlier<\/a> following comments she made in a Chicago Tribune interview.<\/p>\n Reese has been the focal point of a lot of criticism around the WNBA, especially regarding her experiences as a perceived foil to Caitlin Clark<\/a>, which often culminates in unflattering and over-the-top criticism<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\n
