Las Vegas Aces guard Sydney Colson strongly criticized the misogynistic comments made by former NBA guard Jeff Teague and influencer Charleston White about Chicago Sky star Angel Reese.
On their podcast “Club 520,” Teague and White made disrespectful remarks about Reese, suggesting she should show more of her body and even creating an account on a popular adult site.
Colson expressed her outrage by reposting the video with the men’s remarks, calling their actions “craaazy work.”
Teague’s comments came after similar comments made by Shaquille O’Neal, whom Reese refers to as her ‘Uncle,’ on Reese’s podcast “Unapologetically Angel.” O’Neal also implied that the WNBA could increase viewership if players wore shorter shorts, drawing criticism from many.

Colson wasn’t alone in condemning the two men. Sports analysts like Natalie Esquiere and Chris Williamson also criticized Teague and his guest’s comments. Esquiere called Teague a “whole clown” and hoped that no WNBA player would work with him.
