More Fever Players Come Forward About Toxic Fan Harassment
Indiana Fever players start opening up about the scrutiny surrounding their fan base.
After the Indiana Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs by the Las Vegas Aces, several players – including one former player – have come forward to discuss the toxic harassment they face from their own fan base. Indiana general manager Amber Cox defended the fan base, claiming the criticism has no basis in reality. Now, Aliyah Boston has admitted to being a victim of the team's fan base's wrath during their losing streak earlier in the regular season.
She stated that the hate comments she received were the reason she took a break from social media. Guard Kelsey Mitchell, who is a free agent this offseason, also addressed the criticism surrounding fans, saying it is difficult to compete for fans who may or may not like you while playing with star player Caitlin Clark. Former Fever forward Brianna Turner criticized the fan base on social media, stating that the claims about the fan base's behavior are false, as players have repeatedly complained about the behavior.
