The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever opened their 2025 WNBA season against each other in a matchup everyone was looking forward to, given the ongoing rivalry between second-year stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
Clark and Reese starred for Iowa and LSU, respectively, before stepping up to the pros. And the feud the latter sparked in the 2023 National Championship Game has carried over.
Following intriguing rookie seasons in 2024, their teams, the Sky and the Fever, were scheduled to treat fans to a mouthwatering opening game this Saturday. But there have been claims that the Sky either did not show up for the national anthem or walked out during it.

“Bush League Bulls**t Chicago Sky walk off the court during the National Anthem, then come back right after,” a fan claimed.
“I mean nobody is surprised that a team like the Chicago sky isn’t coming out for the national anthem,” said another.
It’s unclear what led to this or if it’s even true, but claims of the Sky skipping the anthem are spreading on social media.
Meanwhile, the Fever led the Sky 22-17 at the end of the first quarter at the time of writing. Caitlin Clark had five points while Angel Reese had four.

Karoline Leavitt vs. Cher: The Live TV Clash That Left a Studio Silent and Viewers in Total Shock
What started as a standard political-meets-pop-culture segment quickly spiraled into one of the most unforgettable live television moments in recent memory. In a rare and fiery on-air confrontation, conservative commentator Karoline Leavitt and music icon Cher exchanged words so sharp that the producers of the program were forced to cut the feed early — and audiences haven’t stopped talking since. The Setup: Two Worlds, One Collision The segment was promoted as a cross-generational dialogue between entertainment and politics. Cher, no stranger to voicing bold opinions on political and cultural issues, was set to appear alongside Karoline Leavitt, a rising Republican voice and former White House staffer. Producers expected sparks — but nothing like what actually unfolded. From the opening moments, it was clear the two women did not see eye-to-eye. The topic that ignited the match? A conversation about free speech, online censorship, and media bias — issues both had spoken about in different contexts. Cher, impassioned and animated, criticized what she described as “right-wing disinformation campaigns.” Leavitt, calm but assertive, responded by pointing out inconsistencies in celebrity activism and accused figures like Cher of “dismissing entire groups of Americans based on political affiliation.” Tension began to rise — and fast. The Turning Point: One Line, Total Silence Midway through the exchange, Cher made a remark questioning the legitimacy of Leavitt’s views, suggesting her “resume was political, not intellectual.” That’s when Leavitt delivered the line that stopped the show. “Maybe if you spent less time on Twitter and more time listening to people who don’t already agree with you, you’d actually understand what’s happening in this country.” There was no shouting.No raised voice.Just a sharp, surgical statement — and then silence. The co-hosts looked stunned.The audience stopped clapping.And for several seconds, no one said anything….
