Sky suspend Angel Reese following critical comments of team

On one hand, it is understandable why some Sky players and the organization would be sensitive to any sort of criticism from their best player. Sitting her for one half isn't really anything huge and seems more like a slap on the wrist than anything else. She's still going to play.

But Reese still shouldn't have to apologize for what she said.

Angel Reese just seems tired of losing

The comments that led to all of this attention were made by Reese to the Chicago Tribune this week and revolved around her desire to win. She put out a call to the organization to acquire better players this offseason, and said she wasn't going to accept what the team was doing this season.

Nor should she.

Nor should the organization.

The Sky have been one of the WNBA's worst teams over the past two years, and it should go without saying that getting better players has to be a priority. As the team's best player, she is somebody in a position of power to push for that sort of change. She used her power and voice to do that. Now nobody seems to be happy about it.
