WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert meets with the players’ union executive committee and the union’s Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee to discuss steps to protect players from online harassment. In recent weeks, players have shared threats and abusive messages they received through social media platforms. The reports describe Engelbert’s focus on addressing the problem and improving protections for players who experience harassment, including content that targets individuals with racial slurs. Las Vegas Aces guard Chelsea Gray is cited as an example of a player who publicly posted a message she received from a man containing a racial slur. The meeting indicates that the league and the union are coordinating on potential responses, though the sources do not detail specific policy changes or enforcement measures being adopted. Both outlets frame the discussions as a response to an increase in harmful conduct directed at players online, emphasizing the need for practical measures to reduce harassment and threats and to support affected athletes.
