🔥 SHAQUILLE O’NEAL UNDER FIRE: Calls Angel Reese a “F–king Idiot,” SPARKS Fierce Backlash Across Sports and Civil Rights Groups 💥⚖️

Shaquille O’Neal Sparks Outrage Over Angel Reese Comment

Shaquille O’Neal ignited controversy after calling LSU star Angel Reese “a damn idiot” over her NCAA championship celebration. Reese had mimicked John Cena’s “You Can’t See Me” gesture, echoing Caitlin Clark’s earlier taunt. While such actions are common in sports, O’Neal’s harsh criticism shocked fans.

“If male players do it, it’s confidence. When women do it, it’s disrespect?” one supporter questioned online.

Backlash was swift. Fans, analysts, and former athletes defended Reese, pointing to double standards in how female athletes are judged. Reese later clarified, “I didn’t do this to disrespect Caitlin. I was just having fun.”

O’Neal eventually apologized, saying, “Angel Reese deserves respect, and I’ve learned from this.” Still, many felt the apology fell short.

The incident reignited discussions on gender bias in sports. Male athletes like LeBron James routinely celebrate with bold gestures—without criticism. Reese’s treatment highlighted the ongoing disparities female athletes face.

“She’s not just a player,” a commentator noted. “She’s a movement.”

Angel Reese continues to shine—on the court and as a voice for equality.
