An employee is fired after a racist message is sent to WNBA player Dearica Hamby, according to reports. The Oregonian says Hamby publicly shares the message, which triggers an investigation by the sender’s employer.
The Oregonian further reports that, as a result of the investigation, the sender is fired and receives a lifetime WNBA ban. Breitbart reports similarly that the person loses a job after allegedly sending the message to Hamby on social media, but does not include additional details about league penalties. The accounts align on the core allegation and the employment outcome, while differing in the amount of information they provide about the WNBA’s disciplinary actions.
