Alyssa Thomas articulated the relentless racism faced by her team, stating, "I think in my 11 year career, I've never experienced the racial comments from the Indiana Fever fanbase." This indicates a level of harassment that has reached new heights in intensity and volume, causing serious detriment to player morale and public perception of the fanbase.
Thomas also expressed the absolute unacceptability of the situation, saying, "There’s no place for it, and we’ve been professional throughout the whole entire thing; but I’ve never been called the things that I’ve been called on social media and there’s no place for it." Her emphasis on professionalism highlights the team’s response despite facing unprecedented hostility.
