Following Charleston White’s inappropriate comments about WNBA star Angel Reese on the “Club 520” podcast, the show has received major backlash.

The situation unfolded during a recent episode when White suggested that Reese “do OnlyFans” and “dunk in some panties.” At one point he stated, “I think Angel Reese wanna sell p***y.”
Hosts DJ Wells, Jeff Teague, and Bishop B Henn tried to deter White’s comments but also laughed along while he made the sexist remarks. The situation left fans shocked and resulted in a wave of criticism from basketball supporters. NBA and WNBA writer Nekias Duncan urged the podcast team to show respect for WNBA players.
“Just don’t talk about the W if you can’t even pretend to respect the people involved,” Duncan said.
I’m just seeing … the stuff. And dude.
Just don’t talk about the W if you can’t even pretend to respect the people involved.

Women’s sports expert, Arielle Chambers, also chimed into the conversation and shared her opinion on the matter.
“I wonder what possesses men to get on their respective podcasts and talk so derogatorily about women/women athletes. The audacity is so alarming. Like you good bruh?! Cuz what?!?!,” she wrote.

Media personality Natalie Esquire directed her shots at Teague for allowing the derogatory comments to be made on his platform.
“Jeff Teague is a whole clown for this. I hope no player in the W goes on his pod or works with him. League better not even entertain his a**,” Esquire wrote.

Ironically, Teague’s podcast situation comes just months after Shaquille O’Neal made similar offensive comments. During an episode of Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, O’Neal gave his views on how the WNBA could grow its audience by changing the way the players dress, which left Reese visibly surprised.
