we cannot let the basketball be overshadowed by the drama or the WNBA will never be a serious league. pic.twitter.com/5j6ElrexEv

“And you guys are making it impossible for me to be here for the basketball. There’s going to be fans like me who are going to be like, yeah, I’m good. Have your league. It’s embarrassing. It’s embarrassing as a woman as well. This is not a good representation of women’s basketball,” DeMita continued.

“And it’d be one thing if the WNBA did their investigation, didn’t make a big comment about it, or it’d be another thing if they have already come out and said what they’ve found in the investigation, but we haven’t heard anything. And what I absolutely need from the WNBA, they need to come out and say exactly what they have found. They need to come out and say exactly what they found, exactly what they were investigating, where that came from.

And I’m sorry if there’s somebody spreading lies online, like those are the people that you should be looking at. And I also don’t understand why, in all of this, again, it’s only things that were said to the Chicago Sky team, but have you seen the kind of things that are being said to the players on the Indiana Fever?

And it’s not just Caitlin, it’s everyone. Aaliyah Boston, Dewana Bonner, who had an historic night that we haven’t even been able to celebrate because of all of this crap. The kind of stuff that’s being said to them, the stuff that’s being said to Kelsey Mitchell, the kind of things that are being said to Natasha Howard are actually wild. People have taken a photo of these women and circled a bullseye on them and have said, it’s on site when I see you. Those are actual threats.

So, the WNBA is investigating nothing to do with that because they retracted their original statement and made sure that everyone knew that the only thing they are investigating has to do with the Chicago Sky. They’re not protecting the Indiana Fever.”

People are talking about the Indiana Fever’s lopsided victory over the Chicago Sky in their first 2025 regular season game, but only for the altercation that happened and the alleged racist remarks that were made.

Indiana Fever players spoke Monday after practice about the WNBA investigating allegations of “hateful fan comments” toward Chicago Sky player Angel Reese.

“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” Fever guard Caitlin Clark said.

“Certainly, we want every person who comes into our arena — whether player or fan — to have a great experience. I appreciate the league doing that [investigation]. I appreciate that the Fever organization has been at the forefront of that.”
