The Toxic Reality of WNBA Fandom Post Caitlin Clark Foul

The Women's Sports Now crew addresses the alarming rise in online toxicity, racism, and death threats directed at WNBA players. Following the recent harassment targeted at Alyssa Thomas, the crew criticizes the league's reactive stance and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's statement, calling for stronger, actionable protections for players off the court.

Chiney Ogwumike shares her own experiences with online hate, while the panel demands that the league identify and ban abusive fans from arenas entirely.

Let's keep the conversation respectful in the comments. What steps should the WNBA take to protect its players from online harassment?
