🔥 Angel Reese’s Mom FLIPS OUT As Caitlin Clark MELTS TV Ratings in Indiana Fever vs Iowa Game

In a twist as fiery as it is headline-worthy, Angel Reese’s mother has gone off on social media, clearly frustrated after Caitlin Clark once again dominated the spotlight — this time by shattering TV ratings during the Indiana Fever vs. Iowa exhibition game. While the matchup was meant to showcase rising talent and celebrate the sport, it quickly turned into a battle for attention, with one clear media darling: Caitlin Clark.

The highly anticipated game — a rare clash between Clark’s new WNBA team, the Indiana Fever, and her alma mater, the Iowa Hawkeyes — drew record-breaking viewership numbers, topping preseason ratings and even rivaling major league broadcasts. Networks reported millions of viewers tuned in, captivated by Clark’s return to the court where she first became a household name.

But not everyone was celebrating.

Shortly after the viewership stats were released, Angel Reese’s mom, Angel Webb, took to Instagram with a cryptic but clearly loaded message:

“The media loves who they love. Stats don’t lie, but neither do agendas. Some of us have to work twice as hard for half the spotlight.”

Though she didn’t name Clark directly, fans and analysts quickly connected the dots — especially given the recent comparisons between Reese and Clark, both of whom were top college stars entering the WNBA this season. Reese, now with the Chicago Sky, has also drawn considerable media attention, but not on the scale Clark has consistently commanded.

The reaction online was immediate and polarizing.
“She’s not wrong,” one fan posted. “Black women in sports are always held to a different standard.”
But others fired back:
“This isn’t about race — it’s about performance and popularity. Caitlin Clark has earned every bit of this attention.”

This isn’t the first time Reese’s family has spoken out about media narratives. Throughout Angel’s collegiate career — including her championship-winning run with LSU — they’ve been vocal about perceived double standards and underrepresentation in mainstream coverage.

Still, industry insiders say the numbers don’t lie.

“Clark has become a ratings machine,” said one ESPN analyst. “Love her or not, she’s drawing massive interest, and that’s good for the league.”

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark has stayed above the fray, offering no public comment on the matter and continuing to let her game do the talking.

As the WNBA prepares for a blockbuster season fueled by fresh talent, old rivalries, and off-court drama, one thing is certain: the Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark conversation is far from over — and so is the battle for attention in the league’s new era.
