Angel Reese might be the WNBA’s rising star, but she’s moonlighting as the NFL’s newest topic of debate—and not for her basketball skills. The Chicago Sky’s forward has been popping up on NFL sidelines more than popcorn at a movie theater, and everyone’s wondering: what’s going on?
Just last Sunday, Reese was seen rooting for the Ravens as they swooped down on the Buffalo Bills with a 35-10 smackdown in Baltimore. But if you thought that meant she was a die-hard Ravens fan, guess again. Fast forward a week, and Reese pulled off a wardrobe change faster than a halftime show—appearing at Soldier Field decked out in Chicago Bears colors. This time, she was there to cheer on the Bears against the Panthers, showing more team spirit than the mascot itself!
Naturally, social media exploded. One week she’s draped in Ravens purple, the next she’s flashing Bears orange? Is Reese secretly trying to become the NFL’s official ambassador? Twitter was buzzing with theories. Bleacher Report even speculated that she might be on some sort of “NFL Tour,” jumping from team to team each week like a college kid at a career fair.
But hold on a second. Reese wasn’t about to let the rumors run wild. In response to the hype, she put her foot down (figuratively, of course): “I’m from Baltimore but I live in Chicago, this ain’t no tour, sorry!” Ah, the plot thickens. Turns out, Reese’s allegiance isn’t as whimsical as fans thought. She’s just splitting her love between her hometown team and the city where she now lives and plays.
But let’s be real—what’s more entertaining than seeing fans scramble to figure out her “real” team? Some are probably clutching their jerseys in confusion: “Wait, is she a Ravens fan, a Bears fan, or an undercover Panthers supporter?” It’s almost like Reese is playing her own version of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ on the NFL stage—where will she show up next? Giants? Cowboys? Patriots? Don’t be surprised if she turns up in a cheesehead at a Packers game just to mess with everyone!
And despite all the speculation, one thing’s for sure—wherever Reese goes, wins seem to follow. After all, the Bears crushed the Panthers 36-10, leaving Chicago fans hoping she’ll keep that winning streak alive. Who knows, maybe Reese is the NFL’s newest good luck charm. With that kind of sideline magic, she might start getting calls from teams asking her to wear their colors!
For Reese, though, it’s all in good fun. As a professional athlete, it’s only natural to show love for the teams where she’s got roots. But the next time she shows up in a different jersey, don’t be shocked. The question is: will she be called out for it, or will she continue keeping NFL fans on their toes? Either way, Reese has turned a few simple appearances into a sideline soap opera, and fans can’t wait to see the next episode.
One thing’s certain: Reese isn’t just playing basketball anymore—she’s playing the NFL fandom like a pro. Now, if only we could figure out who she’s really rooting for…
