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.

I’m sure she will. She seems kike an intelligent person who probably got more out the college experience then dribbling\shotting a basketball.

For the first time in its history the WNBA attracts a crowd and promptly calls them racists. With decisions like this the players will be right back to fighting over the exit isle on spirit airlines in no time.

“The crowd” at a WNBA game?


How many non-lesbians go to a WNBA game?

Re: "Clark's hard foul on Reese..."

What!

(1) The chain of events started when Reese committed a flagrant push-from-behind foul on a Black Indiana player, directly in the sight line of a referee.

(2) The Black Indiana player was perfectly positioned to make a defensive rebound, and almost fell down after the flagrant foul by Reese.

(3) The ref made no call on an obvious deliberate foul.

(4) Caitlin Clark instantly pointed at Reese. Still no foul call by the ref.

(5) Reese grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately moved to make a lay up.

(6) Caitlin Clark stopped pointing and instantly tried to pull the ball away from Reese.

(7) Clark fouled Reese, but the play should have been dead BEFORE Clark even moved towards Reese.

(8) The moment a ref called the foul on Clark, Clark let go of Reese, turned around, and walked away.

“Reese grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately moved to make a lay up.”
She made one? That would make the whole thing noteworthy.

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

Or maybe she’ll buy a franchise.

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

Oh, it was a legitimate foul as it is not the practice of NBA players, of both genders, to allow an easy layup. And the amount of violence in the foul has been allowed to increase historically as it wasn’t even considered a flagrant at the time of the instance. And they were inconsistent with that determination after the fact. Those types of fouls happen all the time in both leagues. Contact is a major part of the game now. The league should have just let it go by as normal play and players tempers.

You look at the video Reese flopped harder than a new Marvel movie.

the WNBA is searching for attention, pure and simple.

everyone who is sentient knows AR is a racist who hates Caitlin.

Caitlin is a fantastic player who has bought into the “white privilege” lie.

and the WNBA is lame.

It’s the WWE. This drama crap is the only way anyone pays any attention to WNBA.

Stop paying attention unless you want to watch the chicks actually playing basketball.

I won’t let them suck me into the “drama!” I assume it’s all staged.

I see the BEGINNING of the END. If the WNBA continues enforcing this as a perspective, or using it as an "axe to grind", they'll be "OUT of BUSINESS" in a few years or less.

Sunday's game incident was NOT RASCIST... it was STANDARD, NORMAL play, nothing more..

I don’t like Clark and the WNBA. She’s shown who she is, and it’s repulsive. Same goes for the WNBA.

Reese is racist and should be investigated for her vendetta against Clark.

I’m still not convinced Caitlin is a woman.
