The Chicago Sky are going to have a much different look in 2025. An up-and-coming team that lost out on a playoff berth on the final day of the 2024 season, the Sky responded to that near-miss by firing first-year head coach Teresa Weatherspoon — a move that was unpopular with the team’s emerging franchise player, Angel Reese. Replacing Weatherspoon is former Las Vegas Aces assistant coach Tyler Marsh, who will have to contend with the loss of his top scorer from last season.

The Sky have made it clear that guard Chennedy Carter will not be on their roster next season, despite watching her put up a team-high 17.5 points per game on nearly 50 percent shooting from the floor. There has been speculation that Reese has somehow maneuvered to ensure that Carter would not be her teammate following the tumultuous end to Chicago‘s 2024 season; Reese herself has not commented on such speculation, but a national WNBA reporter has a different take on the situation which may absolve the “Chi-town Barbie“.

Carter wrote her own ticket out of Chicago

WNBA reporter Maitreyi Anantharaman told “The Ringer WNBA Show” that Carter’s own baggage — rather than Reese’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering — is why the former top-five pick is entering free agency, where she will be able to sign with any team from February on.

“I just do think that she is a great WNBA player and really talented, but there are just fewer places for her to go,” Anantharaman said. “Everyone knows each other, and that could be a great thing, but it can also be a bad thing if you’re looking for a fresh start. Word travels fast.”

Carter received significant negative coverage last season for an off-the-ball shove on Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark, whose entry into the WNBA last season came with a ton of fanfare and renewed attention for the league. The shove was in the news cycle for weeks, even as all parties moved on from it quickly; more worrying for Carter is that the incident followed a suspension for conduct detrimental to the Atlanta Dream in 2021 and a benching for poor conduct while she played for the Los Angeles Sparks in 2022.

But as Carter moves on to what will be her fourth WNBA franchise, the former Texas A&M star has “reminded” Reese through a social media post to keep things simple in the paint and score in the most efficient way possible as Chicago undergoes another overhaul in 2025.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts.

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.

Commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage Thursday for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, and many players showed up, ready to hear their names called.

Many women online noticed that some players in the NFL Draft who were Black did not have the same color girlfriend on their arm.

Some of those players included Caleb Williams, who hit the red carpet at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit with girlfriend Alina Thyregod by his side.

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze showed up with girlfriend Alannah Davidson.

Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu had his girlfriend blocked by his mom from interacting with him after he was selected.

VIDEO: LeSean McCoy Gets Ripped Online For Telling A Wild Story About NBA Hall Of Famer Dikembe Mutombo Cheating On His Wife

Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is getting dragged online for telling on NBA legend and Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo as he suggested the 57-year-old was stepping out on his wife around eight years ago.

Mutombo, an eight-time All-Star who played for 18 seasons, met his wife Rose in 1995 and married her shortly after.

Speaking on his ‘25/10Show’ podcast, McCoy recalled a story about meeting a female he described as a “baddie” in Atlanta who told him she was seeing the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, who would take her on trips to France.

He said: “She told me he not that type of dude, you know he take good care of me…He don’t take me shopping, he takes me to France. I was like who is the dude? Guess what she said his name was? Dikembe Mutombo. I was like you’re taking him over me? But I get it, yeah he’s taking you shopping from PJ to France, I said babe, keep him.”

Fans Rip LeSean McCoy For Mentioning Mutombo’s Name

Fans did not appreciate Shady namedropping Mutombo, especially given that the former NBA center has been happily married for nearly 30 years.

“1. This doesn’t violate bro code cuss that’s not his bro. 2. He violated man code cuss name dropping when the situation could hurt my home is nasty. 3. It’s nasty cuss he ain’t have to say a name at all,” one wrote.

“D. Jack told him early like bro you a house wrecker. He thought he was gon get cool points for finishing the story lmao,” another pointed out.

“you must not know his actual nickname is Shady McCoy…he will name-drop in a minute,” a third suggested.

Married or not, that’s some poor form from Shady.
