The WNBA Completely Embarrasses Itself...Again
Share this @internewscast.com

For those who may not have been closely following this situation, the controversy began when Clark’s team, the Indiana Fever, decisively defeated Reese’s Chicago Sky earlier this May. To say the performance was disappointing for Reese’s team would be an understatement, and her frustration was visibly apparent.

Rather than handling the defeat graciously, Reese made a common claim: that fans in the stands had directed racist comments toward her. However, she did not specify what was said.

When questioned earlier this month about whether she provided the WNBA with details of the incident, Reese did not clarify if she had done so, stating, “that’s not a me question.” She also refrained from disclosing what type of comments were made or any further details about what initiated the investigation.

But moments earlier, in that same availability with reporters, Reese said she was receiving widespread support from across the league because of the alleged incident.

“Obviously, there’s no place in this league for that,” Reese said at that time. “I think the WNBA and our team and our organization has done a great job supporting me. … Going through this whole process, if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.”

How is it “not a me question” when it was Reese who said it happened? At that point, the WNBA should have walked away from the ordeal instead of lending credibility to it, but when “racism” is involved, the entire world must stop spinning. So we got yet another drawn-out investigation, and the results were predictable. 

The league said its investigation included gathering information from fans, team and arena staff, as well as an “audio and video review of the game.”

“We appreciate the quick action by the league and the Indiana Fever to take this matter seriously and to investigate,” Chicago Sky CEO and President Adam Fox said in a statement. “This process demonstrates the league’s strong stance on stopping hate at all WNBA games and events, and we will continue to support those efforts.”

This is now at least the second time Reese has made allegations of racism that have turned out to be unsubstantiated. A league that valued its fans would apologize for playing along and vow to use more scrutiny in the future. But the WNBA doesn’t value its relatively few fans, many of whom are only hanging around because of the hype surrounding Clark. It values virtue signaling for its loudest, most race-obsessed players, including Reese.
