Angel Reese fires off NSFW rant against refs: 'Tired of this s--t' image

Angel Reese is not happy with the way the refs called the Chicago Sky's game against the Minnesota Lynx Sunday night.

While speaking to reporters following the Sky's 80-75 loss, Reese said, "It's tough when you talk to officials, and I asked them, 'Hey, we've only been to the free throw line twice up until the fourth quarter,' and she tells me it's not her job."

"So it's frustrating because I know how hard we are battling inside, and I think that we came down and fought as hard as we could with what we had, and I just know we continue to grow in this."

"I think this is a leaping step for us, and obviously we know we can compete with the best, but [the officiating] has to be fixed. And I don't give a damn if I get fined because that s--- is cheap, and I'm tired of this s---. 'Cause I've been nice, and I've been humble with it, but I am tired of this s---," a frustrated Reese concluded.

Reese also took to X, where she posted several messages calling out the WNBA.

The young hooper joins the Indiana Fever and Kelsey Plum in having protested what they've seen as unfair calls in recent weeks.
