Angel Reese Seemingly Reacts To Emmanuel Acho's Criticism With A Fierce Reminder

Louisiana State University star forward Angel Reese has some thoughts about what counts as an authentic apology.

On Friday, Reese seemingly responded to criticism she received earlier this week from Emmanuel Acho, a sports analyst and former NFL player, with a pointed comment about offering apologies.

“Make sure that apology is as loud as the disrespect,” Reese wrote on X, the former Twitter. She concluded her message with a kissy-face emoji.

Reese didn’t name any names in her tweet, but it comes only three days after Acho criticized her for getting emotional at a Monday press conference, after the LSU Tigers lost 94-87 to the Iowa Hawkeyes in an Elite Eight game of the women’s NCAA Tournament.

A representative for Reese did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

During Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Sports 1 show “Speak,” Acho found fault with Reese for crying during the press conference, saying that she “can’t be the big, bad wolf but then cry like Courage the Cowardly Dog.”

He accused Reese of wanting to be a “villain” in the college basketball world while also seeking “sympathy like a hero.”

Acho prefaced his remarks by saying that he was going to discuss Reese, who is Black, with a “gender-neutral, racially indifferent take.”

The “Speak” co-host, who is also Black, was sharply criticized for his comments.
