The WNBA is investigating allegations of "hateful fan comments" directed at player Angel Reese during a recent game against the Indiana Fever. The league issued a statement condemning racism and hate, emphasizing there is no place for such behavior in basketball or society. Tensions escalated during the game, leading to technical fouls and noticeable booing directed at Reese. The Women's National Basketball Players Association supports the investigation and highlighted the importance of creating a safe environment in the league through its 'No Space for Hate' policy.
The WNBA said in a statement, "The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms -- they have no place in our league or in society."
The Women's National Basketball Players Association stated, "Such behavior is unacceptable in our sport. Under the WNBA's 'No Space for Hate' policy, we trust the league to thoroughly investigate and take swift, appropriate action to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all."
