"I see why yall mad" - Angel Reese's mom trolls critics trashing Chicago Sky star for attending Terence Crawford fight after playoffs miss

Just a day after the Chicago Sky's season ended, Angel Reese took flight to Las Vegas. On Sunday, a picture of the WNBA star attending the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight surfaced on the internet. The Sky star received a lot of heat from fans for her outfit and flying off for vacation after missing the playoffs.

The Álvarez vs. Crawford game, which resulted in the latter's win, was set to stream live on Netflix. In the picture posted by the streaming service platform that surfaced on social media, Reese posed in her deep plunge, all-black jumpsuit with gloves on. She also wore a pair of open-toe, knee-length boots.

Amid all the backlash, Reese's mom stood up for her daughter. On X, alluding to the viral picture, Reese's mom reacted with a fire emoji and sent a message to the haters.

"Just saw those Netflix pics 🔥 I see why yall mad 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 #motion," she wrote.

Angel Reese acknowledged her mother's support.

"thankyaaaaa," she wrote in the repost.

It seems like Reese has already given her public support to Crawford. Before the game, she met with the boxer. In the video, Reese entered with her tall grandeur and hugged the American boxer. She also introduced her friend to Crawford.

Netflix dropped a series of Angel Reese's pictures on its social media handle. In one picture posted by the streaming service provider on X, Reese posed in front of the Canelo vs Crawford banner.

However, it seems like the picture didn't sit well with WNBA fans. Reacting to the post, one fan alleged that Reese had her attention away from basketball.

One fan slammed Reese for twerking while she had a back problem and called her a loser.

"She doesn’t wanna be se*ualized but doesn’t herself. Can’t play in WNBA games she's paid for because of her back. But as soon as season is over she's twerked, etc LOSER," the fan wrote.

Earlier this month, Reese's comments about the Sky roster became a hot topic. Reese told the Chicago Tribune that the Sky needed to recruit better players, or else she would leave for another team.
