WNBA condemns 'alleged hateful fan comments' after Angel Reese reportedly targeted at Fever game

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The WNBA is looking into "alleged hateful fan comments" from the game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky on Saturday, according to a statement released by the league on Sunday.

Though the WNBA did not say who was subject to these comments, multiple reports indicate that racial comments were directed at Sky forward Angel Reese by members (or potentially a member) of the Fever home crowd.

"The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society. We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter," the league wrote in the statement.

The league initially did not provide any details about the incident, but later clarified its statement was in reference to fan comments. The updated statement was seemingly issued to dispel any connection to Caitlin Clark's flagrant 1 foul on Reese.

3. Breaks My Heart to say this

But my paternal grandfather was in the KKK in Indiana in the 1920s. Along with damn near every other white male in the state.

4. I live in the northeast, never considered Indiana a kkk state. Always think of Mississippi

And those other southern states.
