Why No Excuses Can Fix This

In today’s sports world, it’s easy for some to hide behind external factors — media bias, unfair criticism, or racial issues — whenever a star struggles. While important conversations about race and representation deserve respect, using race-baiting as a shield against performance criticism only alienates fans and undermines true progress.

Angel Reese’s struggles on the court must be addressed honestly and directly, or else the narrative becomes about victimhood rather than growth.

“No more excuses. Step up or step aside.”

Critics point out that resilience, humility, and self-reflection are what make champions — not deflecting blame.
