The thing that’s not being acknowledged with the Sandy situation is … Angel does not get a favorable whistle. Like, at all. In what world is she being protected by the refs?!?

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@TheAthletic Glad to see the league try to take a small step towards creating an environment that is safe for all players, not just those endorsed by congress

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@YahooSports Angel has really dealt with a lot with the congress clan for years so letting a coach know it’s not okay to refer to a player as an animal is a good thing

Toronto’s Brondello Suspended

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@evriley @trendyhoopstars The same people that wanted Thomas suspended for a basketball play have the nerve to ask this question.

BREAKING: The WNBA has suspended Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello for one game following her comments about Angel Reese.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@kareemcopeland @Hay_J09 Good, it was irresponsible.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@Kay07ming @natfluential “Chin” - Your biases are showing if your focus is on the response to the disrespectful behavior but not the offensive behavior. 😏

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

“Angel, I’m sorry.” -directly to the person most harmed, then inclusive of all Black women. So important.

Accountability matters.
A lesson learned.

An example that will help if people pay attention and aren’t blinded by their own biases and need to be right.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@r4c00ni3 So her reaction to the offensive language is the problem & not the behavior that started it? The way you guys defend the indefensible while applauding congress for “let CC shoot with no defense.” 🤡

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@sportingnews @Hay_J09 In this climate, it’s great she took accountability for her words & the corresponding implications especially since the opposite is true & Reese is over policed by the refs.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@ItsCwaysWorld Like clockwork! 🎯

[C. C.,Esq. @ItsCwaysWorld]

It’s also important to recognize that Angel Reese has historically been anything but “protected.” She’s been over-officiated and is now just one technical foul away from a suspension. It’s unfair that she even had to address this at all—she deserves fairness, respect, and accountability on and off the court.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@ororosfire It was so wild to see the tap dancing and shucking and jiving.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@nac2 @natfluential Educate yourself if you’re really interested in learning 😏- “Kathy”

[Sandy Brondello @SBrondello]

I also understand that my words carried an impact beyond what I intended, particularly for Black women in our league, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I've spent my career competing with, coaching and learning from incredible Black women.

[Maya @Maya24SF]

@SBrondello Thank you and I respect the accountability!

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Sandy Brondello apologizes to Angel Reese and the Dream after calling Reese a "protected species" during Friday night's game.

[Real App @realapp]

Angel Reese now has more 20/10 games than 97.4% of all players in WNBA history.
