The Women's National Basketball Players Association and numerous WNBA players lashed out against commissioner Cathy Engelbert
Engelbert was asked about the "darker" and "more menacing" tone that some fans have taken on social media this season
According to the players' union and other players, her explanations were inadequate.
Engelbert, appearing on "Power Lunch," was asked about the increased harassment players have experienced on social media
There have been plenty of issues players have shared in this regard all season long.
Reese said earlier this month that some of Clark’s fans have harassed her online, issued death threats, followed her home
Several other players have been harassed with ugly comments from fans after committing hard fouls against Clark this season.
But instead of getting into those details, Engelbert focused on the rivalry between Reese and Clark on the court and how that’s growing the league.
