The month of May might just be remembered as the “homecoming” month in WNBA history. Your wish is their command! Two of the league’s most talked-about rookies and fierce rivals, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, returned to their college stomping grounds for a preseason game against the Brazilian National Team. But both experienced contrasting welcomes. Clark was greeted by a roaring, sold-out crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. But over at Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the reception for Reese wasn’t quite the same.
According to ESPN, only 6,373 fans showed up to cheer for the Bayou Barbie at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. With a capacity of 13,215, that means nearly half the arena sat empty. In stark contrast, Carver-Hawkeye Arena was packed with 15,500 fans showing out for Caitlin Clark’s return. That’s a staggering difference of 9,127 in attendance. Fans naturally took to social media to troll Reese’s pull, which triggered her mom to reply to the haters!
Her mom fired back at the trolls with a perfect response: “Aww that certain fan base looking in the stands celebrating ‘attendance’ while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners. We ain’t the same. Different year, same haters Have a great day ” This set the Caitlin Clark fans off, sparking a flurry of reactions online! Let’s dive into some of those fiery responses!
