Andscape Roundtable: A Conversation About Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA Protecting Its Players
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert made headlines this week her comments that didn’t condemn racist and venomous behavior from fans on social media about the rivalry between Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
Engelbert clarified her comments after her appearance on CNBC Monday, saying that “to be clear, there is absolutely no place for hate or racism of any kind in the WNBA or anywhere else,” but the disappointment expressed by WNBA players, the fan base and the WNBA Women’s Players Association was swift and blunt.
Andscape senior editor Erik Horne, commentator Ari Chambers, and senior HBCU reporter Mia Berry discuss Engelbert’s comments, how the WNBA got so far and the league’s next steps.
