Indiana Fever rookie of the year Caitlin Clark has brought millions of new fans to the WNBA, but as many of those fans are being accused of “racism,” the team’s new president is looking to re-brand.

Hack article, providing no evidence of the Fever franchise doing anything that this writer claims.
Total BS. The Fever fans are not racist. It is a false premise. They don’t need rebranding. Their brand is a monster in a good way. They need to support their fans and their star player. Sadly and predictably they are going to attack their fans and diminish their star. Pretty sure this is what “equity” requires.
