OutKick obtained a letter Indiana Rep. Jim Banks sent to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, asking what steps the league will take to protect Caitlin Clark, who is frequently subjected to unfounded racist animosity.
Banks praised the increased fan interest in women’s basketball due to Clark, then referenced an unprovoked foul by Chennedy Carter, which was visibly supported by Carter’s teammate, Angel Reese.
He called the foul a “cheap shot” that could have caused injury and emphasized that such actions should not be tolerated.
