The WNBA concluded its investigation into allegations that fans taunted Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese with racist slurs during their season-opening game against the Fever in Indiana last week.
The league concluded that the reports of racial taunts could “not be substantiated.”
Now, a U.S. senator from Indiana thinks Reese owes fever fans an apology.
Jim Banks (R, IN) called on Reese to apologize to Fever fans for accusing them of being racists.
“Angel Reese owes Indiana fans an apology,” the senator wrote.
While there is some ambiguity over whether Reese herself made the initial complaint, sparking the investigation. There is zero evidence that she did anything to slow down or stop the league’s inquiry, and in fact, in at least one interview, she fields a question from a reporter in which she describes what it was like having to compete while racial slurs were being hurled at her.
In addition, just last week, Reese reposted a TikTok claiming it was “unsafe” for her to play in Indiana.
“Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team, and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated [the report],” the league said after their nearly two-week investigation. “The WNBA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for everyone and will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our fan code of conduct.”

It is not about fact, it is about getting false narratives started that are never retracted when found to be false and become the new narrative (racism). Sharpton and Jackson would be proud.
The black racial victim mentality complex demands more racism from whites than this is a supply of. So she has to make up some.
I am sick of this. Every time something goes against a black they cry racism. It is a tired and worn out schtick.

But it's really great schtick, Mrs. Presky!

Reaction after reading the story -- She owes no one any apology. WNBA fans deserve whatever they get. { snicker }
She heard what she wanted to hear, not what was actually said.
Jim Banks is proving to be a super senator so far.
Both of the fans?
Yeah, tell all seven attendees that you’re sorry
It’s time for Dave Chappelle to do a bit on Angel Reese, a la “Juicy Smulliet”.
There’s LOTS of material there.
Oh, crap! You beat me to it!
Major props, young lady.
Should change her name to Angel Sharpton.
not only is angel no talent BUT every time Caitlyn Clark is on the court attendance goes up in the stadium!!!
Screw the apology, just ignore her and the rest of that thug league.
In a recent interview Angel Reese was asked who she thought was the best player in the WNBA right now. To paraphrase - “You mean who the media thinks, or who is? It’s me.”
She’s not even the best player on her team.
And I don’t think Catlin Clark is the best player in the WNBA right now, but she is the most important. She’s the one selling tickets, selling out stadiums, selling merch, selling commercial air time because of boosted viewership.
Caitlyn needs to go play in Europe.
Kyle Reese’s cousin. protagonist from the terminator.
Caitlin may not be the best but she works harder than Angel.
