WNBA investigated alleged racist remarks at Sky-Fever game, says it cannot substantiate the claims

The WNBA says it cannot substantiate claims that racist fan behavior took place during a game in Indianapolis between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever earlier this month.

The league said its investigation included gathering information from fans, team and arena staff, as well as an "audio and video review of the game."

"We appreciate the quick action by the league and the Indiana Fever to take this matter seriously and to investigate," Chicago Sky CEO and President Adam Fox said in a statement. "This process demonstrates the league's strong stance on stopping hate at all WNBA games and events, and we will continue to support those efforts."
