Dan Dakich on Indiana Fever coach’s response to GOP letter
Sports analyst Dan Dakich slams Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White for her evasive response regarding a GOP letter to the WNBA. The letter addresses concerns about Caitlin Clark’s treatment, with reports suggesting some attacks are racially motivated. Dakich questions the coach’s failure to defend her star player and the league’s lack of support, despite Congress’s involvement in the matter.
The Seattle Storm had struggled at home entering Tuesday night, carrying a 4-10 record at Climate Pledge Arena into their third matchup of the season with the visiting Indiana Fever.
