WNBA Discussing Steps To Protect Players From Harassment

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert discussed what more can be done to protect players from online harassment during a virtual meeting with the players’ union executive committee and the union’s Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee. The call Tuesday night came at the union’s request. Players have been sharing threats and harassment they’ve received on social media over the last few weeks. Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces posted a message she received from a man that included a racial slur. The man was tracked down and fired from his job at Hilton Grand Vacations.
