Monica McNutt Explodes Over Caitlin Clark’s Million-Dollar Deal, Declares Angel Reese Worth “At Least a Billion, If America Could See Straight”. And then the whole studio went silent…
It was supposed to be another routine sports segment — a roundtable breaking down the latest WNBA headlines. But what happened next sent shockwaves through the studio, silenced the panel, and lit social media on fire.
When news broke that Caitlin Clark had secured yet another multi-million-dollar endorsement deal, ESPN’s Monica McNutt didn’t just push back — she detonated.
Slamming her hands on the desk, McNutt leaned forward and declared:
“If America could see straight, Angel Reese wouldn’t just be worth millions — she’d be worth at least a billion.”
The air froze. Panelists blinked. Producers scrambled. And then came the moment no one expected: the entire studio fell dead silent.
Viewers at home felt it instantly. The tension. The rawness. The sheer power behind McNutt’s words. Within seconds, clips of the exchange went viral, racking up millions of views across TikTok, X, and Instagram.
Some fans hailed McNutt as a truth-teller for putting the spotlight back on Reese, calling her “the cultural heartbeat of the WNBA.” Others accused her of throwing shade at Clark in a way that could deepen already heated rivalries between fan bases.
The debate has spiraled beyond sports, tapping into bigger questions about race, marketability, media bias, and who America chooses to elevate.
And one thing’s for sure: after McNutt’s fiery declaration, there’s no going back.
