After the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was alleged that Angel Reese had been subjected to hate speech and racist slurs. The league hardly waited a minute to announce a closer look into the matter. “The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society,” the statement had declared. So the investigation took off with information gathering from the fans, team members, and staff who were present at the game.
Being a game televised by ABC, there were microphones right by the bench and even more cameras than in a regular WNBA game. This further helped the investigation, as the league also conducted an “audio-video review” to find any misconduct that had occurred. And while many fans, regardless of their affiliations, believed it was the right way forward, others criticized the league upon the completion of the investigation.
10 days since the incident, the WNBA has released a statement that confirms the alleged racist behavior was “not substantiated.” And while the Chicago Sky CEO Adamn Fox “appreciated the quick action,” the same couldn’t be said for the owner of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy. “Maybe wait next time before creating a racial war based on angry tik toks from Chicago Sky/Angel trolls who weren’t even at the game,” he said.
Portnoy, like many, questioned the veracity of the allegations that were made in the first place. Neither the players nor Tyler Marsh had stated that they heard any of the slurs. So to open an investigation on a matter as grave without the presence of concrete evidence rightly invited criticism from the blunt Portnoy. “Honestly, one of the worst mismanagements of PR I’ve ever seen,” he said.

Racial slurs in a sport that is comprised of almost all blacks and attended by almost all blacks?
EC
Even against honky crackers who obviously deserve it?
Total garbage from the beginning!
Not one speck of evidence to start with.
No video. No first hand accounts. NOTHING!
Just more faux racist BS.
And, and...they were wearing MAGA HATS!!! And screamed, “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY YOU N-WORDS!!!!!” right there in the arena, I am SURE that is EXACTLY what happened!
Well, afterwards their outrage created comparison images between her and Syd Sloth etc
“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support-kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people. who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.’ - Thomas Sowell”
They’ll likely hire Jussie Smollett as a play by play announcer.
doesnt help when Caitlyn Clark keeps kissing their asses and apoligizing for her “white priviledge”. Shes gonna learn eventually that its never enough with these people. She could write a manifesto written in her mothers blood how sorry she is...not gonna matter. Its simply never enough.
She will never be able to absolve herself of the ultimate sin of being white.
Reese is an racist attention whore and drama queen who can’t stand that a White woman is so much better at basketball than she is.
Have you ever watched pickup basketball in the hood? Racial slurs are thrown around the whole time.
Angel Reese, Andre Carson, Jussie Smollett, etc.
All the poor girl wanted was a Subway tuna sandwich.
Yep! Check your”white privilege” is meant to control the white gurls to perpetuate ownership of this game.
CC ruined the game for young white girls to play with those who think they own this game and can bully/rough them up with impunity . Black refs never see a foul if you’re white even if there’s blood.
Much like Jussie, Angel Reese feels unappreciated and under valued. Resorting to a racial hoax in an appeal for victim status is disgusting and kills her brand. I hope she loses what few endorsement deals that she has.
Wokers going to woke
No place for hate? Yet, when B. Griner is caught courtside saying of CC, “M___F__g White girl,” what we hear is crickets.
This might seem racist coming from an old white dude, but that slow-footed, corn-fed white girl from Iowa named Caitlin is a pretty good basketball player.
