The Chicago Sky, Indiana Fever, and Dallas Wings are receiving the most buzz when it comes to popularity in the WNBA. Data shows that ticket prices for games skyrocket when Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers are set to play road games in 2025.
With the incredible growth in popularity comes a drawback. Reese, Clark, and Bueckers are under a microscope, and they can be on the receiving end of negative comments.
Chicago Sky released a statement on “mental health” with Angel Reese
The Sky released a statement on X about “mental health” that featured a picture of Reese. Early replies to the post caused Chicago to have to make an unfortunate reaction.
“No Space for Hate,” the Sky posted on X. “We protect our athletes’ mental health on and off the court and stand with our fellow teams in the WNBA as we continue building an inclusive environment in and out of the arena.”
Per the statement, the Sky are continuing a “no space for hate” platform where they plan to block anyone in violation of their policies.
“Last season, the Chicago Sky launched the ‘Post up Positivity, Block the Negativity’ campaign to
stand up to hate,” the statement reads. “We proudly stand with all WNBA teams against offensive, discriminatory, and hateful content. The WNBA aims to inspire and connect people through the power of women’s basketball.
“Our online and in arena communities must be inclusive and safe. There is no space for hate. Any violations of our policies may result in deletion of comments and blocking of accounts across our social media channels. Together we block. Together we win.”
No Space for Hate.

An unfortunate response online
The Sky received racist and homophobic replies to the post, including some that prompted X to place a limited visibility tag on the content. Chicago wound up limiting replies to only accounts that they mention so that their message on “no space for hate” wouldn’t become bogged down with vile commentary.
Unfortunately, it’s clear that the antagonists of Reese’s career that have been abundant since the 2023 national championship aren’t going away anytime soon.
