Preseason Matchup: Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky will face the Brazilian national team on May 2nd at LSU. Speaking of Angel, let's not forget the utter ridiculousness of her recent ejection from a game for, wait for it... trash-talking! It's clear that even in these supposedly "Unrivaled" games, there's some serious bias at play. And how about those Roses getting consistently shafted by the refs against the Laces? It's like the refs have money on the game, or they just really hate seeing talented players shine. The officiating this season has been a joke, and someone needs to call them out on it! Massive Three-Team Trade: A shake-up involving the Mercury, Wings, and Fever sees Satou Sabally, Kalani Brown, and Sevgi Uzun to the Mercury; Ty Harris, NaLyssa Smith, a draft pick, and rights to Mikiah Herbert Harrigan to the Wings; and Sophie Cunningham and another draft pick to the Fever. In essence, it's a time of major changes and exciting developments in women's sports, but also a time to call out the unfair treatment that some players, like Angel Reese, are facing. The fight for equality and respect on the court continues!
