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.”

And much to Catlin’s credit, for all the hate, trash talk, outright insults, she’s teflon. It doesn’t stick and she doesn’t play into it and reply. She just smiles and walks away. That’s a win.
And Bubba Wallace
Just another brick in the wall of black fatigue.
She’s not walking much right now.....out 2 weeks with an injury.
She’s the racist, not the fans. Fire her ass.
ICWYDT.
Obscure Firesign references are always good for a rainy Wednesday.
Angel Reese... “I see people” who aren’t there.... Oh... And I ‘hear racial slurs” when no slurs were uttered.
Sign ze papers.
That’s rich. A black athlete competing in a sport dominated by black athletes complain its unsafe for a black athlete to participate because she is black. 😂 😂 😂
Now that maybe all in the toilet because of a bunch of lunatic black players who would rather play pretend basketball in a league that might not exist much longer because they physically pounded the golden goose into unable to play with the help of an army of semi-blind, incompetent, aide and abetting referees.
I'm begging Clark to never play another WNBA game. Let the WNBA play in the small arenas they seem to love and watch the entire mess called the WNBA disappear and while she enjoys a long, safe career playing real basketball in Europe,
"Wow, man, he stuck it in his eye, man..."
My favorite line was “wow, look man, they’re turning around!”
Not sure I’m getting the wording completely right on that. It was more than 50 years ago.
And Andre Carson owes the tea party protester an apology for saying he spit on him...and then there’s Jussie.p/
Yep - he knew. He let the sport be destroyed over nothing.
It’s all certain black people know how to do... Lie Lie Lie. Especially about falsely perceived racism. We’ve seen it for years and we’re seeing it more and more frequently now.
People like Angel need to go play in Africa.
A'ja Wilson is probably the best player in the WNBA right now. But her playing style is like Patrick Ewing. Slow and steady.
Catlin Clark has the charisma of Michael Jordan except that she can make 3s like Stephen Curry.
