FANS GO WILD After Caitlin Clark LAUGHS at Angel Reese in Post Game Interview After ASSAULTING HER.
The WNBA launched an investigation in to reported “hateful fan comments” directed toward Sky forward Angel Reese in their game on Saturday.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark isn’t sure what exactly was said during their game with the Chicago Sky on Saturday.
“It’s super loud in here [during games],” she said on Monday.
But, after allegations of “hateful fan comments” directed at Sky forward Angel Reese surfaced and an investigation was launched, Clark is all for it.
“Although I didn’t hear anything, I think that’s why they’re doing the investigation,” Clark said. “That’s why they’re looking into it. It doesn’t mean nothing happened. So, you just trust the league’s investigation and I’m sure they’ll do the right thing.”
The WNBA launched an investigation into the comments on Sunday that were made during the Fever’s 93-58 win over the Sky. That was a contentious battle, too. Clark received a flagrant after a hard foul on Reese, which led to a bit of a skirmish in the third quarter. Reese and Aliyah Boston received offsetting technical fouls during the incident.
Clark defended her actions, and insisted there was “nothing malicious about it.” She also asked fans to “not make it anything that it’s not.”
“It was just a good take foul,” she said. “Every basketball player knows that.”

The investigation, the league said, is unrelated to the flagrant foul.
The Clark-Reese rivalry dates back to their college days, and allegations of racial and hurtful comments from the Fever fan base are not new, either.
Last season, former Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington accidentally poked Clark in the eye during a game — which is something both players said was unintentional. Carrington, though, received death threats, racial comments and more in the days that followed. Alyssa Thomas also said she had “never experienced the racial comments [like I have] from the Indiana Fever fan base.”

Caitlin Clark says bigotry has ‘no place’ in WNBA as league probes allegations of hateful comments from fans
NWSL’s Unwell FC and Alex Cooper partnership: An ‘incredible platform’ to grow the game or a risk?
Clark has repeatedly denounced these types of comments and actions from fans since entering the league. She did so last season and again on Monday.
“There’s no place for that in our game, there’s no place for that in society,” Clark said. “Certainly we want every person who comes into our arena, whether player, whether fan, to have a great experience. … Hopefully the investigation, we’ll leave that up to [the league] to find anything and take the proper action if so.”
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White echoed Clark’s comments on Monday, and said she made it clear to her team that they would cooperate fully with the WNBA’s investigation.
“There’s no place for that in our league. Whether it’s at home, whether it’s on the road, it doesn’t matter,” she said. “We want to encourage our players, our staff, to bring recognition to it in real time if it’s heard, if it’s seen or anything from that nature, but there’s just no place for it in our league. … Be a fan, don’t be a jerk. Be respectful and be passionate, but it’s not that hard to not be a jerk.”
