WNBA forced to delete post of Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese promoting betting

The WNBA posted a video of star players Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese from All-Star Weekend before their two teams were set to play with the Atlanta Dream facing the Dallas Wings.
The league’s social team filmed themselves walking up to Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers and asking her about a bet that her and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese made. You can tell that Bueckers was a bit caught off guard by the question, asking “We did?” Sure enough, the social team had video proof that her and Reese had wagered $400 on the game that took place earlier this week.
They edited everything together, and then sent it out on the W’s official social media account… apparently not knowing that they were effectively sharing video evidence of two of the league’s biggest stars breaking the rules laid out in the league’s regulator.
Once the league apparently realised what they had posted was a very bad look, they took the video down. But as the old saying goes… the internet is forever. Accounts like “BrickCenter” screen recorded the video and have shared it online, and fans and casuals have had a ball poking fun at the WNBA’s gambling gaffe.
