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.

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.
This WNBA season, the Washington Mystics have stayed under the radar despite the growth that many other teams experienced, at least until their recent winning stretch the last couple weeks.
