Dan Dakich criticized Alyssa Thomas for her response to the controversy surrounding her hit on Caitlin Clark. Thomas claimed that WNBA players are being unfairly painted as villains and that she and her teammates have received death threats.
League Response
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert released a statement condemning hate speech and supporting Thomas, but did not address the incident involving Clark. Reporter Christine Brennan questioned the league’s response, asking if they would speak out about the incident and support Clark.
The WNBA has struggled to handle the attention and money that Clark has brought to the league. Clark has made the WNBA bigger and more famous, but the league has not been prepared for the consequences of having a superstar player.
