WNBA commissioner criticized over failure to condemn abuse around Reese and Clark
Briefly

Cathy Engelbert's comments on the darker tone of fan behavior towards players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, failed to offer a strong condemnation of racism and misogyny.
Terri Jackson emphasized that the commissioner should have clearly denounced the vile hate and harassment players face, asserting there is no place for such behavior in sports.
Engelbert later clarified her stance on social media, stating there is no place for hate or racism, but this followed significant criticism from the WNBA players and their union.
The WNBPA highlighted that fandom should elevate the game, not contribute to harassment and attacks on players, reflecting a broader call for respect in sports.
