The Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game was filled with plenty of action and drama . But serious allegations came out after the game.
The Associated Press reported that fans directed racial comments toward Angel Reese during the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The WNBA released a statement on the matter Sunday night.
“The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter.”
The Fever also released a statement noting they’re working closely with the league during its investigation.
The league launched “No Space for Hate” this season, a multi-dimensional platform designed to combat hate and promote respect across all WNBA spaces both online and in arenas.
