UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Alyssa Thomas and Stephanie White said racist and homophobic comments directed at WNBA players need to stop. The Connecticut Sun star and coach commented after their team finished off a sweep of the Indiana Fever in the opening round of the playoffs Wednesday night.

Before the Connecticut Sun’s playoff game against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever, the Sun’s Dijonai Carrington shared an abusive message she’d received.

WNBA players and their union spoke out against Commissioner Cathy Engelbert a few weeks ago when she failed to condemn racist and bitter criticism from fans toward the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese rivalry during a TV interview. She later clarified that she’s vehemently opposed to “hate or racism.”
