  1. Not unexpected. But why attend games with players you hate.

    Indiana certainly is not alone with badly behaved spectators, be it professional or amateur sports. Is the behaviour crass . . . yes. But is it illegal? Can someone be removed from an event for spewing racist comments? While many state opposition to racist, sexist, or other negative comments, how can speech at events actually be controlled.

  2. I love our sports teams but hate to attend games or even root for them simply because the fan base. If you have an issue with African-American players or African-American people in general, don’t attend sporting events.

    BTW, our second and third best players for the Fever can ball and just so happen to be African-American. Clark is very good, but she isn’t winning anything without them (and her other teammates of various races and ethnicities).

  3. This is another AP article by a group of mostly out of towners and based on heresay and internet trolls. Too bad our local journalist don’t write about our local sports teams.
    The people I talked to that went to the game, and Dave Portnoy’s own article in Yahoo sports, said there was no racial slurs. Don’t let the internet idiots ruin our local teams.

  4. As always, laughing at the IBJ employees pandering to their target audience.
    Nate, did you include a link to the racist post from the racist player (for the Democrats, it’s NOT Clark) who is crying Racism!?
    Of course not, this is just , as always, the IBJ carrying the Democrat water
