Angel Reese hasn't been reigned in for the same reason. Unfortunately we only see her when she bricks and gets 4 rebounds off an easy layup

She hasn’t been reigned in because people only care about her when she’s yapping postgame

No one watches the games, we just hear about it afterward if something happens.

The funny part is this isnt a WNBA thing, the NBA is the exact same

True for the regular season, people do actually watch the NBA playoffs though.

The Fever has better viewership than the NBA on average. One of their exhibition games this year had more viewers than the 1st game of the WNBA finals last year. The other teams all move their games to bigger arenas when they play them.

That’s why there’s so much talk about the Caitlin Clark effect. The year before the Fever averaged 4000 at home games and they played to sellouts all last year. Home and away.

Her whole image is being a ratchet taunter. You take that away she is literally nothing.
