"Sloot about to cry hearing that": WNBA fans react to Angel Reese's Sky bench's contrasting reactions to "Fire Jeff" chants 

Things have gone downhill in "Sky Town" ever since Angel Reese pushed the organization to improve the roster around her. She hasn't played a game since, including her part-suspension on Sunday against the Aces.

Reese didn't close the season, either. After being listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the New York Liberty, she remained on the bench. However, the spotlight remained on her, especially after the Sky fans broke into "Fire Jeff" chants in the third quarter, demanding General Manager Jeff Pagliocca's resignation after a 10-win season.

As the chants progressed, the cameras showed the reaction of the Sky players, including Reese. Here's the video:

Reese seemingly looked unfazed, while her teammates Courtney Vandersloot, Michaele Onyenwere and Ariel Atkins looked annoyed. In a separate video, Onyenwere waved at fans, asking them to stop the chants.

WNBA fans were quick to spot the contrasting reactions and weighed in on X:

Angel Reese's sophomore WNBA season ends in trade rumors

Angel Reese's sophomore WNBA season ended with her sitting out the final four games, including a league suspension and a half-game suspension issued by the Sky. Chicago listed a back injury as the main reason behind Reese's absence, indicating that she wasn't held back due to disciplinary reasons.

Her Sept. 3 appearance against the Sun may have been her last game for the Sky. According to reports, the Sky are open to trading the former first-round pick amid the recent controversy.

According to the Dallas Hoops Journal, a league executive stated that the Sky could consider moving Reese to recover assets if they are unable to make internal fixes. Reese has made her intentions clear to play elsewhere if she can't win with Chicago, citing poor roster management.

Through two seasons, Angel Reese has a 21-43 record with the Sky when she plays and has not featured in the playoffs.
