Matt Leinart's unhinged hot take on Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark had hoops fans endlessly roasting him

Former NFL vet and current Fox media personality Matt Leinart says that the WNBA should suspend Angel Reese for her Flagrant 1 foul on Caitlin Clark. Yes, that is a serious sentence.

Matt Leinart was apparently watching the game (or at least saw a clip via social media) on Sunday when Angel Reese made incidental contact with Caitlin Clark on a hard foul. Clark held no animosity toward Reese postgame for the move and acknowledged that Angel was trying to make a play on the ball.

That should have been the correct reaction in real-time by everyone, but WNBA expert Matt Leinart — if that sounds sarcastic, IT IS! — felt that Reese needed to be suspended.

Angel Reese should be suspended. Period. Not good for the game.

Right on cue, hoops fans roasted him for his take. Here’s what they said:

Just a reminder that Matt Leinart has had a voice in athletics for over 20 years and yet his first mention of women’s basketball was earlier this month. https://t.co/CCsYNsUfHH pic.twitter.com/7xu5C1EEUp

I don’t remember you being this loud about your teammate punching an opponent repeatedly in a game. Then again, you were on the bench behind Matt Schaub, so your opinion is just as irrelevant now as it was back then. https://t.co/rjXEfBz8hv pic.twitter.com/fABvBpPRCi

This man ain’t never spoke on the WNBA before now… what the hell is going on?! When we said we wanted to grow the game, this is not what we meant https://t.co/RUvlO5zzAF

Lmao I don’t really like angel Reese’s persona and I am a huge CC fan but dude it’s just basketball play flagrant. Call the foul and move on – it’s basketball. The Chennedy fouls from a few weeks ago is more reasonable to be upset about…

this take is worse than the 10th pick of the 2006 draft
