This interaction left some fans confused. One fan questioned if there was some history between the two athletes that was missing in context.

Reese was confused that Sanders completely ignored her. She didn’t look too pleased that he paid no piece of mind to her standing right there.
The reactions didn’t just stop there as other fans took plenty of entertainment from Sanders disregarding Reese’s presence.
“He even had his phone out… The introvert starter pack😭,” said another fan.
If Sanders’ personality over the past few years indicates his overall personality, he is anything but an introvert. Sanders loves to be confident in his abilities and is very outspoken on his beliefs.
Sanders and Reese at the Events
Sanders will be hoping to be at the Super Bowl festivities again next year but with his team being the one playing in the big game. Fans of whatever team drafts him will be hoping for the same. The projected top-five draft pick has a busy few months ahead with the NFL Combine and the NFL Draft, but he was taking in the festivities, including the flag football game that Reese was coaching.
Reese spent her time promoting the WNBA at the events while also coaching the flag football game. The infamous Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade happened right before the Super Bowl week festivities began. Reese was asked about the trade and switched the subject to the moves in the WNBA.
The WNBA is on the rise in popularity, and Reese is doing her best to get more attention to the league. Reese plays for the Chicago Sky. WNBA players such as Reese are participating in Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 league, right now for players to compete in the offseason. Reese will be looking to make a jump in her sophomore season when the league begins in the middle of May.
