Fans react to Lynx videographer losing Angel Reese supporters for appreciating Caitlin Clark
Ever since Caitlin Clark made her debut for the Indiana Fever, she has been dubbed the face of the WNBA by pundits and analysts. However, this popularity has also given rise to a narrative where Clark is frequently compared to Angel Reese splitting the community into two.
A videographer for the Minnesota Lynx made a post on X, formerly Twitter, in which he uploaded a picture of the text message he received. The message was rather weird as it accused the videographer of letting the ‘culture’ down as he was a Clark fan.
