WNBA launches racism investigation after Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark clash
The Daily Mail ^ | 18 May 2025 | ERIC BLUM

The WNBA has launched a racism investigation a day after Angel Reese got into an on-court altercation with Caitlin Clark during the opening-weekend game between the Fever and the Sky.

The league announced the investigation on Sunday with its statement pointing to the Indiana-Chicago game as where the incident took place.

Instead, it's Fever fans in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd who are the target of the league's investigation.

'The following is a statement from the WNBA regarding alleged hateful fan comments at yesterday’s Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever game: "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 league statement read.

The WNBA has been contacted for further comment by DailyMail.com. The Fever have also released a corresponding statement after the WNBA's message went public.

'We are aware of the allegations of inappropriate fan conduct during yesterday’s game and we are working closely with the WNBA to complete their investigation. We stand firm in our commitment to providing a safe environment for all WNBA players,' Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO Mel Raines said in a statement.

Angel and her uh, posse are afeared that the league is about to be taken over by non-black chicks.

The NBA needs to stop funding the Welfare NBA—and that will be the end of that.

What would the penalty be if a few members of the Indiana fans were found to be racist? No home games? The problem is that Reese is a prima donna big baby.

Bunch of dumbass black chicks have spoiled it for everyone else. They act like they don’t want any part of a biracial society if it means they have to play alongside whites, and that’s fine with me. Screw the whole thing at this point.

Besides being a great long-distance shooter, Clark has reeeeeeeally pissed of people because she is a proud Catholic.

Oh! The Humanity!

24 years and they have no gate and salaries are paid by money parasited from the NBA.

Why do we even have articles about this? Likely paid for.

No one is watching. No one will watch.

CC is popular. Indiana Fever are selling out their home games. Her games drew an average of 1.19 million viewers in the 2024 WNBA regular season.

No, I am not a follower of WNBA games.

But this enraged me and I will not forgive the players and league for condoning it.

Story from September 24, 2024.
DiJonai Carrington denied trying to intentionally give Caitlin Clark a black eye.


Me:
Deliberately aiming a long fingernail, from a muscled player to possibly blind a rival for being white.
This is evil.

“Carrington struck Clark while trying to block a pass from Clark in the first quarter. Slow-motion footage showed Carrington bending her hand while coming down from the block attempt, pointing her nails in Clark’s face. No foul was called on the play.”

They were bound to blame this on white fans.
