Angel vs. Caitlin Is the Rivalry We Needed – But Only One Is Asked to Carry the Weight

They brought the spotlight to women’s basketball – but only one of them has to answer for it. Renowned behavioral strategist and media psychologist Dr. Tunisha Singleton breaks it all down.

🙌🏾 BIG shoutout to James Bisson for taking the time to chat with me ahead of the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game. I had the opportunity to be featured in Covers––the sports news, stats, and betting authority––about Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and the potential for the WNBA to move the needle forward. 

Plus, I provide critical commentary on the media's mishandling of the rivalry and loop back to my case study research I previously shared, examining how clapping back serves as a powerful tool of resistance for Black women in sports within digital spaces.
