ESPN ^ | Jul 14, 2026

A man who allegedly sent a racist message to Las Vegas Aces guard Chelsea Gray on social media has been fired by his employer. Hilton Grand Vacations announced the firing in a statement issued to multiple media outlets Tuesday, one day after Gray posted a screenshot of a message to her on her Instagram account calling her a racial slur.

"The person responsible for posting this information is no longer with the company," Hilton Grand Vacations said in its statement. "His behavior was in violation of multiple company policies and does not reflect our company's values in any way."

Gray said in her post that she received the message after the Aces' 109-75 loss to the Indiana Fever on Sunday. "People act like we just make this s--- up," she wrote in her post. "And the audacity to tell us as athletes to 'shut up and dribble.'"

Thomas criticized WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert for not doing more to protect the league's players.

Would that include Caitlin Clark constantly being mugged on the court?

A trained seal can dump a basket for only $25 per shot.

Yep. No one but the players gives the most minute rat’s azz about the WNBA. Mediocre athletes, deeply racist players and unexciting game play.

NO. ONE. CARES.

Context: Chelsea Gray elbowed Caitlin and was charged a personal foul, but not a game ejection. Gray took a lot of heat for it.

So Gray is blaming this guy, saying it's cuz this guy said something bad about Gray the day before and threw her off her game. In other words, she's saying that it's a white dude's fault that a black woman hit a white woman.

Several white women target Caitlyn Clark. For example Jacy Sheldon and Marina Mabrey had very hard fouls against her, both white and straight.

Anyone seen this “note” that has liberals horrified?

I have not and suspect many would not see it as raciss if it is being hidden.

What, he called her a seal?
She should have said the same back to him.
I’m guessing he sold timeshares.

You can find it if you look really hard. He called her ugly and added the n word, which he is presumably not permitted to use. A crime against huge manatees. Should probably know better, if you want to keep your job these days.
