WNBA Affirms No Racist Behavior at Fever Game

The WNBA concluded its investigation into allegations of racist fan behavior toward Chicago Sky's Angel Reese during the May 17 game against the Indiana Fever, finding no evidence to substantiate the claims. The league's review included audio and video footage, as well as interviews with fans, team, and arena staff, but did not corroborate reports of racist remarks. Both teams and league officials reiterated their support for the investigation and commitment to a safe, inclusive environment, with the Indiana Fever stressing that hate speech is not tolerated in their arena. Angel Reese expressed gratitude for the support and emphasized that such behavior has no place in the league, while Caitlin Clark stated she did not hear any racist comments during the game. Despite the official findings, some individuals who attended the game continue to stand by their accounts. The WNBA pledged ongoing vigilance in enforcing its fan code of conduct.
