UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Connecticut Sun All-Star Alyssa Thomas, head coach Stephanie White and Indiana head coach Christie Sides directly addressed the heated social media discourse and racism players have experienced this season in the WNBA after the Sun won their first-round series at Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday.
“Honestly, it’s been a lot of nonsense,” Thomas said. “I think in my 11-year career, I’ve never experienced [anything like] the racial comments from the Indiana Fever fan base. … It's uncalled for and something needs to be done, whether it's them checking their fans, or this league checking [it], there's no time for it anymore.
