Angel Reese is an unapologetic player and a celebrity figure. The Chicago Sky star isn’t a stranger to being the topic of conversation, but this time she did it for a curious reason: her NFL fandom.
The forward, who received a sole vote for WNBA Rookie of the Year—thus denying Caitlin Clark a sweep—was supporting the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field before they took on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday (Oct. 6).
Nothing strange, except that last week she appeared in Baltimore to support the Ravens in their Sunday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which they won 35-10. Of course, fans took notice of her “switching” teams, and that became a topic of conversation on X (formerly Twitter).
However, Reese was quick to silence the haters when replying to a Bleacher Report tweet about her NFL “tour.” The star wasn’t having it and gave a quick but sharp response: “I’m from Baltimore but I live in Chicago; this ain’t no tour, sorry!”
i’m from baltimore but i live in chicago. this ain’t no tour sorry!

She also joked about being a lucky charm for both teams, as apparently, wherever she goes, the home team wins. Chicago defeated Carolina by a score of 36-10. “Every game I’ve been to has been a blowout. I’m just sayingggg,” she added.
