Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White publicly condemns racist and abusive online messages directed at Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas. The comments come after Thomas revealed that she has received hateful threats, including death threats, following a foul involving Caitlin Clark. According to the reports, White calls the harassment “absolutely unacceptable,” expressing support for Thomas and criticizing the behavior directed at her. The coverage from multiple outlets characterizes the messages as racist vitriol and notes that the backlash is tied to the incident between Thomas and Clark. While the outlets focus on White’s response, they also consistently attribute the revelations to Thomas, who describes the scale and severity of the online abuse she says she has received. No outlet disputes Thomas’s account of the threats; instead, all three emphasize the condemnation and the message that online harassment is not acceptable.
