Sue Bird Addresses WNBA Racism and Sexism Issues

News summary

WNBA legend Sue Bird has openly addressed the pervasive issue of racism in the WNBA, which she asserts has existed long before Caitlin Clark's entry into the league. Bird argues that Clark is being used as a pawn by some so-called fans to push racist agendas, which do not represent true supporters of Clark or the Indiana Fever. Bird, along with other players and coaches, has condemned the racist and sexist comments made by this faction of fans during the 2024 season. Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun and Caitlin Clark herself have called for an end to such behavior, emphasizing that it is not reflective of true WNBA fandom. Bird and others highlight that the increased visibility of the league has brought these issues to the forefront, though they are not new. The discourse has been amplified by media coverage and social media, adding to the complexity of addressing these issues in the public sphere.
