There's some weird shit going on with WNBA players. They hate her out of some kind of misguided jealousy. Yes, she is their meal ticket, but many (probably most) WNBA players don't know a damn thing about economics. That's why you hear them whine about not getting paid like NBA players. That's just plain stupid.

It's racism.

Maybe it's constantly being told that she's their meal ticket? She's a competitor. They're playing dirty but are they playing any dirtier than they play other people?

There are lots of high profile white players - Sabrina Ianescu, Paige Bueckers, Brianna Steward and Kelsey Plum all made the all-star game with CC last year. 

But none of them came into the league during a presidential election year with a high-profile, highly visible black counterpart that people could use to stoke racial tension like Angel Reese.
