Jeff Teague Slammed After Podcast Guest's Lewd Reese Remarks

"I think Angel Reese wants to sell [her] p***y .... I think she is tapping into that h*e side."

Fans were disgusted by his comments and lashed out on Teague for even allowing White as a guest on his platform.
"Nothing Angel Reese has ever done that warrants the slut-shaming she receives," one user said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Not worth the views to have him on. Total miss on this one."
WNBA Rookie Gets Honest on League's Future
Reese was one of the headlines in a WNBA rookie class that featured marketing giants such as Caitlin Clark and Cameron Brink. With the new wave of basketball superstardom, there has also been a wave of new fans who have an interest in the league now. As a result, the league saw record viewership numbers in 2024.
Brink, who missed the majority of the season with a torn ACL, remains optimistic that the WNBA can maintain those same ratings in the future. But she admits that at times, doubt creeps in.
"It's kind of groundbreaking. It's just really exciting and honestly unfamiliar for me to have this much attention around women's sports and women's basketball, but we embrace it," she said.
"We hope this momentum continues. There is a bit of fear, like, will people kind of hop off the bandwagon per se."
The former Stanford star went into more detail about her statement, expressing her hope for herself and other WNBA players to get their just due.
"I think it's just a part of me hoping that me and these other women get the continued support of the media and fans because we work so hard. Our league has just kind of been. Not disrespected, but it's not really familiar to us to have this amount of support," Brink added.
