The 2024 WNBA season has seen a lot of increased attention by fans who otherwise wouldn’t be followers of the league, or perhaps women’s basketball in general. With Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese now in the WNBA, more people are tuning in. All of that’s great. But that also means that the league will also have to start handling more drama around fans and other social media followers who take things too far.
