Shaquille O’Neal arouses controversy on the profane commentary on Angel Reese

The legend of the NBA Shaquille O’Neal is faced with a generalized reactionAfter calling the rising star of the WNBA, Angel Reese, an “idiot F – King” in a recent podcast. The shocking commentary, made by discussing the behavior of the players and the appearances with the media, aroused fierce criticism of fans, athletes and defenders of civil rights.

Indignation of social media and athletes’ support

O’Neal’s remarks, perceived as sexist and disrespectful, have sparked intense reactions. Sports journalist Jemele Hill tweeted,“Calling a young black woman in sport that is not a hard love – it’s an abuse.”Reese’s teammates defended him in a joint statement, praising his work ethics and leadership.

Civil rights groups require responsibility

Organizations such as NAACP and the National Council of Women in Sports now urge O’Neal to apologize publicly, stressing the importance of respecting female athletes – especially black women – in professional sports.

Shaq’s inheritance at risk

Formerly known for mentorship and humor, the O’Neal brand is now under control. His vague Instagram response-“I want I said-but maybe I could have said it better”-only intensified calls for responsibility.
