WNBA suspends Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello one game for Angel Reese remark
According to the @realapp.bsky.social, Angel Reese now has more 20/10 games than 97.4% of all players in WNBA history. #WNBA
I said it their rookie year and only feel more strongly about it now: Angel Reese will do and mean more for the growth and future of girl’s and women’s basketball than Caitlin Clark. Reese does it all despite constant and absurdly unwarranted scrutiny while Clark can do and say anything she wants.
My girl! That hard work is paying off. Go Angel! 👏🏾
Amazing. Her skill set is unique, and she keeps getting better.
Sandy Brondello called Angel Reese a "protected species" which is not exactly a thing you should be calling any black person. Reese called her a clown on Twitter after the game.
She was literally in tears when Slim went down. People be hating hard as hell on Angel and it's so ridiculous
Historically, Black people and other non-European populations were sometimes referred to as a separate "species" by white Western theorists. This concept is known today as scientific racism or polygenism. It has been thoroughly debunked and rejected by modern genetics and anthropology. Poor Sandy.
That should be a lengthy suspension.
Sandy no, what the fuck are you doing???? #WNBA
*flips “Days Since Someone Did Something Really Dumb in the W” sign back to zero* 🫣
I can’t believe Sandy actually said this shit. It’s fuck you forever now. I was already pissed about Izzy INTENTIONALLY fouling Angel earlier this season, and now this? This just adds fuel to the fire. #WNBA
Well I don’t think all of the discourse tomorrow is gonna be about CC for once
Sandy Brondello apologized to Angel Reese on Twitter this morning.
Yeah, you can’t tell me that wasn’t racially intended as fuck. Fuck Sandy’s apology.
I haven’t checked in to what happened, but this is one of the most Australian things to come out of Sandy Brondello’s mouth (derogatory) #wnba
she called her a what?
This is a byproduct of a league that is more than okay with using the work of Black (and often simultaneously queer) women to build their brand while refusing to give them the credit/respect they deserve.
This is crazy AF! To be comfortable enough to say that is just wild as hell: YT women will always go there. And yes I saw the apology and it’s BS!!
Sandy Brondello might consider clearing this up sooner than later. #WNBA
That apology needs to be swift and given both publicly and privately. I get it. Another Tempo player is down with an injury when you still have two out. But referring to Angel as a protected species??? Entirely too old not to know better. Clean it up! 🗣
Directly to Angel, clarifying what she meant, with an apology.
#WNBA 1- Angel Reese typing "are we surprised" seems to an outside observer like something you say when you know "things" about someone 2- Sandy been in America and around Black American athletes long enough to know what not to say.
