There has been a lot of attention on Thomas for what she did.
Connecticut Suns star Alyssa Thomas has come under a huge amount of pressure from Chicago Sky fans after her rough treatment of Angel Reese during their WNBA clash.
Thomas appeared to choke-slam Reese during the game and now Reese’s fans want to see some serious punishment for her opponent.
Thomas grabbed Reese from the neck late in the third quarter while she was airborne and slammed her into the ground, which clearly caused the Sky player a lot of pain.
The Sky rookie quickly grabbed the back of her head as she tried to make sense of what happened. Upon review of the foul, it was upgraded to a Flagrant 2, resulting to Thomas’ ejection.
Fans anger at Alyssa Thomas
It didn’t take long for fans to start criticising Thomas.
“A total disgrace,” a commenter wrote. Another viewer shared: “From the first angle barely looked like a flagrant but from the second angle that was baddddd.”
A third social media user shared: “She needs some game suspensions like Draymond Green that was ridiculous.”
“She needs to be out for a couple of games. This was so uncalled for,” another said.
One fan thought that jealousy of Reese’s popularity was behind the move: “The jealousy directed at the rookies this season is ridiculous!”
No further decision has been taken yet by the WNBA about Thomas’ foul, but you can bet that Reese’s fans will not forget it when the Suns and the Sky take each other on again later in the season.
