There’s no place for racism in the WNBA — full stop.
Unfortunately, a hate speech incident marred an otherwise thrilling opening weekend of WNBA action. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss allegations of racist and hateful fan comments launched at the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese during a game against her longtime rival, the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark. The WNBA is growing in popularity, but fans like this do not mesh with the league, which has stood for equality and social justice since its inception.
