In a move that has stirred debate across both the fashion and sports worlds, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is calling for a boycott of American Eagle, criticizing the company’s latest ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
Reese, a rising figure in the WNBA and one of the league’s most recognizable personalities, took to social media over the weekend to express her disapproval. She accused American Eagle of overlooking more diverse representation in its marketing, arguing that the campaign reinforced outdated beauty standards.
“I’m disappointed in American Eagle,” Reese wrote in a now-viral post. “There are so many talented, beautiful women of color who could have been featured. Instead, they went the same predictable route. We deserve better.”
