BREAKING NEWS WNBA launches racism investigation after Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark clash
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 18, 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 league's showpiece 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.

The racist incident in question did directly have to do with Reese but did not have anything to do with Clark's hard foul on Reese and the responding heated matter, per the Indianapolis Star.

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.

Angel did crap to Caitlyn all last year and got away with it. Now Caitlyn is not taking it so Angel plays the race card.

The whole notion of a women’s ‘NBA’ is ludicrous. But we are living in post-reality.

Their level of desperation for attention has no limit.

The WNBA is going after their fan-base, proving that they are as intelligent as their players,

If Rush were here he’d call it the LBWNBA.

I have nothing against women’s sports but once again this race card thing is ruining everything.

Yep, you nailed it. Caitlin should have never came back and just played in the European league. She makes enough money off of endorsements to pick and choose her destiny.

They’ll probably concoct a reason to kick Clark out of the league.

Put it this way...

Caitlin is gonna do just fine after having done her time in women’s pro bassitball...

Maybe she’ll get a job at some bank or insurance company back in Iowa City or something...

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

Oh! The Humanity!

So Reese’s Academy Award-worthy flop is being investigated as racist?

They’re leftists. They despise success. That’s the only explanation for them sabotaging their product.

Proud Catholic?

Sorry, but Clark is a rabid leftist and is constantly apologizing for being White. She gets whatever she deserves.

One cannot be a rabid Demonrat and be a Christian. It’s impossible.

I’ve never watched one second of the racist WNBA and never will. I can’t understand why conservatives are so smitten with this Clark bimbo. She is an enemy of Americans.

Personally, I hate Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and all the subhumans who play in the WNBA.

They’re investigating the crowd, not Caitlin.

Then wonder why their TV following fell right off the chart.

They didn’t investigate Angel Reese poking Caitlin Carter in the eye deliberately,,? But they’re going to investigate this relatively common foul
