Hi @AnnieCostabile thanks for helping me see what journalism is. From a WNBA fan, I’m wondering if we’ll ever get a follow-up investigation into how the WNBA MVP wasn’t ejected nor suspended in the playoffs for confronting a fan in the stands, when the rule book clearly states players “will be automatically ejected” for doing so. Also, is it possible to get a story following up with all the Indiana Fever fans who have been falsely accused of fan misconduct at Gainbridge? I am not a journalist but I’d think that this has happened enough times that it may merit some conversations with them? As for today’s story, I did call it a hit piece against the Fever. I didn’t see any of the commentary from current and former WNBA players who responded to Kelsey Mitchell’s comments by telling her to ignore the DMs from trolls/bots and celebrate all the opportunities that come with playing alongside Caitlin Clark. But I guess those perspectives are less important than unnamed sources. The article is written in a way to imply that free agents who sign with the Fever would be selling out for money / top-tier facilities. When has a professional men’s team ever been positioned this way going into free agency? Of all people in this ecosystem, I’d hope that it would be journalists who can see that so much of this noise is due to bots/trolls and not the actual humans who are Indiana Fever fans. Those trolls/bots crave attention, but I suppose @TheAthletic and @nytimes do as well.
