Controversial women's basketball superstar Angel Reese became the first player to be ejected from a game in the startup Unrivaled league on Saturday. She then called a Sports Illustrated article covering the incident "clickbait." 

Reese was ejected during the Rose Basketball Club's matchup against Vinyl Basketball Club in the second quarter. She was called for a foul against Tiffany Hayes, then she earned a technical foul after making an offensive gesture toward a referee. When she started arguing that foul, she got a second technical, and refs tossed her from the game. 

Reese wasted very little time after the historic ejection to vent her feelings on social media, firing off a series of posts on X. One was a re-sharing of the Sports Illustrated article covering the ejection, which she captioned with her criticism. 

"Clickbait. Everything I do keep going viral," Reese wrote over the article.

Reese and Rose Basketball Club were already in last place with a 1-4 record going into Saturday's game, but things got worse after the star's ejection. Rose lost 79-73 as Vinyl's Rhyne Howard dropped 33 points on Reese's squad amid the ejection. 

Reese has been one of the most controversial stars in women's basketball ever since her infamous late-game showboating in the 2023 NCAA women's basketball championship game. Reese led LSU to a 102-85 victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa that March and bragged about it by pointing to her finger in front of Clark's face to remind her rival who was getting the ring. 

It was a moment that Reese says "changed my life forever," in the first episode of her podcast.

"I think it's really just the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans, that are really just, they ride for her, and I respect that, respectfully. But sometimes it's very disrespectful. I think there's a lot of racism when it comes to it," Reese said. 

Reese even alleges that some fans have made AI-generated images of her, depicting her without clothes on, and sent them to her family members.

The two renewed their rivalry the following season in the 2024 Elite 8, as Clark got her revenge by defeating Reese and LSU 94-87. After the game, Reese cried at the post-game press conference as she recounted the harassment she received following the previous season's controversy. 

INSIDE CAITLIN CLARK AND ANGEL REESE'S IMPACT ON MEN'S BASKETBALL

In four head-to-head WNBA matchups this past season, Clark's Indiana Fever beat Reese's Chicago Sky three times. In just two of those contests, Reese put up more points than Clark, while pulling down more rebounds than Clark in all four meetings. Clark registered more assists in all four meetings. 

Reese's Sky also committed several controversial fouls against Clark in those meetings, including one from Reese herself when she slammed her arm into Clark's head in a game in June, resulting in a flagrant-1. 

The two won't be bringing their rivalry to Unrivaled, at least not this year. Clark declined to join the league despite an aggressive push from its ownership group. 

But even with Clark not in that league, Reese is still finding ways to stir trouble.

When Canadian and American teams face off against one another, it is commonplace for both countries' national anthems to be played or performed.

That was the case at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, when the Minnesota Wild visited the Senators for an NHL bout.

The visiting team's anthem is normally performed first, as was the case on Saturday night.

But, before the home crowd heard its own anthem, they let out boos at the end of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

The game came on the same day that President Donald Trump signed an executive order, which will go into effect Tuesday, consisting of a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on imports from China.

Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff, according to the White House. In a statement obtained by Fox News Saturday, the Trump administration said the order is in response to an "extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, (that) constitutes a national emergency."

Ahead of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation, Trump said he would "love" if Canada could become the "51st state."

On their four-game homestand that wrapped up following their TK victory, the Senators hosted all USA teams – there are seven Canadian teams in the National Hockey League and 25 teams based in the states.

The Senators will kick off a four-game U.S. road trip against the Nashville Predators, Tampa Bay Lightning (two games), and Florida Panthers before returning home on Feb. 22 to host the Montreal Canadiens. 

The long layover comes due to the upcoming 4 Nations tournament featuring the USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden.
