Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has not been shy about her frustration with WNBA officials this season, and the disdain boiled over this week in a game against the Washington Mystics. After a failed challenge upheld a foul call against Ariel Atkins on a loose ball, Reese walked to the sideline and slapped a clipboard out of one of her assistant coaches’ hands.

Video of the outburst gained traction on social media, and Reese explained the exchange with strength and conditioning coach Ann Crosby after Tuesday’s matinee.

“Those **** were pissing me off😭 shoutout to Ann because she know it was the heat of the moment and she didn’t let me apologize because she knew!” Reese said in a social media post. “Not happening again tho🤦🏽‍♀️😭”

Reese picked up five fouls herself in the contest, and teammate Elizabeth Williams fouled out of a 20-point performance. The Sky committed 26 team fouls to the Mystics’ 21.

Officials across both the WNBA and NBA took flak this season and last for the disparity in foul calls against guards and forwards. The amount of contact permitted between players and the perceived advantage given to guards has not been particularly popular, and countless players and coaches spoke out against it. Reese is the latest to risk fines in calling out the trend.

“It’s tough when you talk to officials and I ask them, ‘Hey, we only shot two — we only been to the free throw line twice,’ up until the fourth quarter and she tells me it’s not her job,” Reese said after Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Lynx. “It’s frustrating because I know how hard we’re battling inside and I think we came down and fought as hard as we could inside. That has to be fixed. I don’t give a damn if I get fined because that shit cheap and I’m tired of this shit. I’ve been nice and I’ve been humble, but I’m tired of this shit.”

Reese is not alone in her frustration. Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum unleashed a profanity-laced rant earlier this season after an overtime loss saying she is “sick” of the lack of foul calls against her opponents.

“I drive more than anyone in the league,” Plum said. “So to shoot six free throws is f—ing absurd. I got scratches on my face. I got scratches on my body. And these guards on the other team get these ticky tack fouls. I’m sick of it.”

Will Sandy Alcantara be traded at the deadline? Why Marlins ace’s struggles could cause teams to shy away

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that there is no script. One of the frustrating things about baseball is … well, there is no script. Consider the case of Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. He entered the season regarded as the summer's probable top trade candidate, to the extent that Marlins general manager Peter Bendix had to dismiss speculation in March. Alcantara had, only a few days prior, made his first big-league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in fall 2023. And yet, a midseason trade to a contender felt like a certainty, a fait accompli.Alcantara may still get traded ahead of the July 31 deadline, but if he does the circumstances will differ greatly from expectations. He'll take the mound today against the Cincinnati Reds sporting a 7.01 ERA (62 ERA+) and a 1.91 strikeout-to-walk ratio in […]

Here are some early patterns and a best XI from the last four days.Lack of draws leads to early eliminationsThe most striking aspect of the first 16 matches in this competition is the lack of draws. Only one match has finished level: a 1-1 finish between Portugal and Italy in Group B.There’s no particular reason why this has happened. Granted, there is a large difference in ability between the favourites and some of the outsiders in the competition, but there have been seven victories by a single goal, some of which could easily have been draws.

Duas vendas, joia colombiana acertada e dois possíveis reforços: veja como o Botafogo abre a janela de transferências

Última da temporada, a janela de transferências do futebol brasileiro começa nesta quinta-feira (10). E o Botafogo, como de costume, promete agitar o mercado com contratações e vendas. Tanto é que, antes mesmo do início do período, o alvinegro já concretizou três movimentações. Em relação às saídas, o zagueiro Jair e o centroavante Igor Jesus foram vendidos ao Nottingham Forest-ING por movimentações que totalizam os 32 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 206 milhões). Por outro lado, o clube, que já tinha se antecipado em algumas movimentações na janela de transferências que antecedeu a Copa do Mundo de Clubes — um exemplo foi a contratação de Arthur Cabral, que é a reposição do camisa 99 e já esteve à disposição durante o torneio —, acertou na última quarta-feira a compra de Jordan Barrera, joia colombiana de 19 anos, por 4 […]

Premiação de semifinalista do Mundial de Clubes pode levar Fluminense a ‘clube do bilhão’

Único semifinalista não-europeu da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, o Fluminense voltará ao Brasil de cabeça erguida e bolso cheio. Além do tamanho do resultado esportivo, o tricolor garantiu uma premiação de cerca de R$ 331 milhões, com a campanha, que o faz subir de prateleira no cenário econômico do futebol nacional. Mercado: Wolverhampton, da Inglaterra, faz consulta por Arias, destaque do Fluminense no Mundial de Clubes Como exercício de comparação, em uma simulação somando as premiações obtidas no torneio pelos clubes brasileiros com as receitas dos últimos balanços divulgados (2024), o Fluminense chegaria à casa do bilhão (R$ 1,015 bilhão) em arrecadação, fazendo o clube subir para a quarta posição, superando o São Paulo e ficando atrás apenas de Palmeiras, Corinthians e Flamengo.
