In the first week of the WNBA season, Caitlin Clark was found in more words wars.
A day after her and Indiana’s fever killed Angel Reese and the sky of Chicago, the WNBA began investigating reports of “hateful comments” towards Reese by fever fans who, ultimately, “were not justified.”
When the WNBA announced that the statements were not true, the American senator Jim Banks, a Republican of Indians, asked the WNBA to make an apology to the fans of fever and the residents of Indiana.

It is a feeling with which Indiana Mike Braun governor agreed during a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital.
“I am one that absolutely has zero tolerance for intolerance and bullying and all the things that come along with all that discussion. When comments are made that make no sense … when it is out of place, you must recognize it. Then, I agree with Senator Banks there, and I hope there is none of that there,” Braun said.
Although the WNBA investigated reports of verbal attacks against Reese, the WNBA has not investigated a viral video of Brittney Griner in which many people on social networks believe that I was calling Clark “garbage” and a “white girl”.
Griner’s video arose shortly after Griner committed a foul against fever in a questionable fault during a game in which Clark and Griner, who play two separate positions, were barely close to each other. Others say that Griner was calling the referee or the call that made “garbage”, adding that it was a “call of cursed.”
In any case, the video has been a hot topic online, and the WNBA has not acted. Braun said that if the WNBA investigated what was determined that they were false statements of hateful speech against Reese, it should investigate Griner.

WNBA refuses to grant Outkick credentials; What hides the league?
“I don’t think there is any place for that. I think Caitlin has done things for the league itself where it should be accepted. I think, in any case, talent in that league has been shown. You should be grateful for it, not throw comments that could indicate otherwise,” Braun said.
“Yes, I think that if there was a look at what Angel did, I think it would be good to let it rest too. And I hope it comes out of the stage, because it is not good regardless of where it comes from.”
Braun admitted that “he did not pay so much attention” to female basketball before Clark came to his state, “but recently I have a lot.”
“She sells the Gainbridge Arena as the Pacers and her team do,” Braun said. “And the more I see the games, they are so competitive, in many more cases, in terms of scrap and talent. We are lucky that Caitlin has ended in the state of basketball. He has revived much of that spirit both at the levels of the university and in high school. Caitlin has been a wonderful addition, and is in the right state.

“Maybe that was destiny.”
