Chicago Sky…..What is y’all doing…??!?!?!?? Y’all should be dropping loads of content!!! behind the scenes, in front of the scene, phone calls, meetings…practice….ANYTHING!!! Do y’all understand what’s happening right now??!?!?

[@luminaraunduli2791]

You said it all! The '21 championship love didn't get the org to try bigger either! Bare minimum has been their modus, need complete overhaul...

[@PridefulPawsUnleashed]

VERY DISAPPOINTED with the Chicago Sky and their Marketing Team! This girl literally walked into a quiet park district gym with NO FANFARE, NO WELCOME LINE, NO EXCITEMENT, NO VIDEOS PLAYING AS SHE WALKS IN, NO PICTURES HUNG UP, NO NOTHING ..BUT A BASIC BACK DROP AND A HANFULL OF REPORTERS. It literally was no excitement and no thought put into the setup for this press conference for it to be her Introduction. THIS IS VERY PISS POOR. Go look at how the other WNBA teams treated their players for their Introductory Press Conference.. VERY Disappointed. Angel we love you and you handled it well. Chicago Sky do better !!!

[@user-qx4rv2cz7g]

Humble yourself

[@enjoylife1239]

she was only 7 pick,and not even chicago sky first drafted player....so becouse she got famous in race hustling community she needs FANFARES and huge introduction?but you say nothing about chicago sky first pick Kamilla Cardoso introduction...ohh yeah...cardoso not famous in race hustlers community

[@PridefulPawsUnleashed]

@@enjoylife1239 Sometimes it's okay to hush. You're definitely misinformed ...Cardosa didnt have a in person Introduction it was virtual idiot.

[@PridefulPawsUnleashed]

@@Th3onenot2 Please help us understand how does your draft pick translate to not being greeted properly by your new professional team .... We're waiting

[@jamesblackburn6505]

Facts ... i did not know that her and #kamillacardoso deserve the red carpet period ... Lets Get it together @ChicagoSky

[@constancebeckham8437]

Angel will bring the people out she’s a walking 💰! They must get this right! Invest and we will support! WE MUST SUPPORT PEOPLE

[@marcusfuller6657]

I agree 💯 percent

[@constancebeckham8437]

I wonder who’s on Chicago Sky marketing team! This was pose to be a big welcoming and event! They should have opened to the public! With everything moving so fast theirs no room for error! They must get this right! They need to market themselves correctly so they can capitalize off this moment with Reese & Cordoso!

[@amarachidesi]

Like fr what I was thinking… they need to cease every single moment… especially in a city like Chicago

[@constancebeckham8437]

@@amarachidesi yes and I live in and am from a big city Houston Texas baby we would have turned it out! I know they got training camp and the pre season coming up but that’s why you have teams to take care of things like this! This could a been an exclusive fan meet & greet or a welcoming to Chicago event with media and a few fans! I need them to think big if they want people to open their wallets and support! We need them to invest first before seeking a return perioddddd

[@marklawrence76]

@@constancebeckham8437 you're so spot on. But it's a reflection of the city. We're segregated here more than anywhere else in the country and they're stuck in the 20th century. The problem is this is the 21st century and it's the year 2024. Those that don't look like me show no signs of progressing in the right way.

[@finisher3x]

Landing Angel in Chicago is damn near perfect for the WNBA. She's going to be instantly accepted in that city, on and off the court.

[@juskittenaround]

100% if they let her be her! She will change things. I watched her do it at lsu. it’s impressive , she knows what she’s doing PR wise if they let her make moves….

She's the biggest thing to hit Chicago since MJ. If Caleb Williams can live up to the promise, Chicago will be rocking.

Never wanted to buy a WNBA game ticket until I learned of Angel. I feel blessed to witness this history. She is an icon. She put the W and women's college basketball in the mainlight for the first time since the 90s. Im so happy for her! Its your time Angel!

You mean Caitlyn Clark is a icon she put the spot light on not Angela sorry

Eloquently spoken….. classy too. Congratulations 🎉🎊. You gonna do great 🙏🏾🙏🏾✌🏽👌💪🏾🏀💯

[@Putdapawsonhim]

How can you not love this young woman 😊 look at that smile ❤ i smiled the entire interview. Can’t wait for the season to start.

[@alphasports3743]

Chi-Town has dropped the ball, no marketing, no fanfare, no fans to greet AR or Cardoso. This is not how you greet players. They don't want her there. I'd be worried if I was AR.

[@Putdapawsonhim]

They have less than twenty days before the season start and Cardoso is still on her championship tour with South Carolina these girls are getting ready for graduation and training camp. I understand what you are saying but it will be plenty of time for that during the regular season. It’s sooooo much to do in so little time. I’m sure after games they both will be doing meet and greats and little events.

[@alphasports3743]

@@Putdapawsonhim I'm not saying this just for AR. For the franchise in general, its how you get good player to come to your team, they look at the facility. AR went from kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqXWcqiJrbmDi8U to that? This is why the WNBA fail ... no marketing no vision.

Her smile and personality is contagious. Hope she does exceedingly well.

[@keykarissa]

Y’all did Angel dirty as hell with this mediocre introductory press conference!! This is your star player and cash cow, treat her as such!!

[@Th3onenot2]

Cash cow not star player. Shes a social media fan favorite not famous for basketball skills.

[@mathildaanderson8761]

😂😂 u crazy yea

[@Low-hw4ek]

Sky front office if you are not willing to use this once in a life time opportunity to move women basketball forward then why draft Angel. I need to know. Cause I’m cool with the location the no balloons, no fan engagement, no excitement for her arrival is crazy. But selling out her jersey everywhere while telling her she has to make the team is eye opening but okay.

[@RDTIME808]

The CHI-SKY GODDESS! Was in the building. Y'all better have that carpet rolled out next time TF!.. Can't wait till her season starts.

[@MSDIVASTYLE100]

I absolutely LOVE Angel Reese AKA Chi-Barbie!!! She’s Beautiful, talented, Intelligent and has truly persevered in the midst of extreme adversity!!! She’s definitely a star!!! 🌟🤩 I pray that God continues to bless and cover her life!!! 🙏🏽👑

[@marywilson5192]

It's great to see her off the court... She seems very nice & grateful. You can't really judge a person based on their on court presence alone. These players are extremely competitive & that fire comes out during the game.

Can't believe there wasn't an event for her... ANGEL REESE IS AN ICON!

[@AyoJerz]

Who tf dropped the ball today with this press conference?

[@shamarial0ng]

Yea the optics were terrible. They need support staff or project managers on staff

[@newaulk]

I have always maintained that the WNBA is not run like a serious business. No serious business will have a press conference like this, where you can't hear the questions. This is the era of KZbin, and the video of the presser will be uploaded on to YT. So, only amateurs will have this kind of lighting, audio and background. The Fever did a better job with the audio, lighting and optics but killed it with letting Gregg Doyle ask 2 questions.

[@maxwelllittle3562]

Chi-Reese more than likely requested press only. She’s human and probably exhausted. Chicago Sky would’ve done more trust me. She literally said she got there yesterday. She’s tired; more ppl would’ve been more exhausting.

[@thataaronromano]

i have no idea how anyone can hate her.

[@momac7230]

This team is so TOUGHHHHH like and adding Angel and Kamilla is gonna put them over the top…if they gel like I know they can early in the season…good luck to rest of the teams😏 I see GREAT THINGS in the near future for the Sky

[@jimjohnson5118]

Angel is a WBB Super Star🌟 The Sky should've given her a big media rollout. They dropped the ball by not doing that. The Sky and the WNBA need to recognize why people are finally interested in Womans Basketball. And it's not just Clark. Angel Reese and LSU are a major reason why so people are now interested in Womans Basketball. I Just hope the WNBA doesn't Dim these young Ladies shine.

[@DrShonTV]

I love her maturity and her understanding of how the WNBA works. Please educate these new casual fans! But in all reality, Angel ain't getting cut. For the audio/tech people behind this, wow this was terrible, we couldn't hear the questions and neither could Angel. Also, the feedback on her mic was not professional.
