A recently conducted WNBA Matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the Indiana fever dissolved controversy after a viral video expressed the visible frustration late in the game after a bad call. The incident has fueled online speculations. Some fans claim that Griner could have made a derogatory comment on WNBA Star and Indiana Fever Rookie Caitlin Clark, although no confirmed audio has supported these claims.

The video that quickly spread on social media after completing the game shows that the Griner goes to the bench after the full -back. While she visibly encouraged and gestured, there is no clear audio of what she said. Nevertheless, several users started to speculate based on their lip movements, and claimed that she had pronounced the sentence “Trash F*White Girl”, supposedly with regard to Clark or another Fever player.

However, the video does not remain conclusive. The film material lacks a verified audio, and no official court microphones or transmitters have recorded the alleged remark. Neither Griner, the dream of Atlanta nor the Indiana fever have given a formal explanation of the clip.

After the start of the season between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky last weekend, the WNBA announced that it examines reports on hate speeches that are aimed at players, in particular an incident in which a fan is involved in Angel Reese. In response to this, the league also introduced a new initiative entitled “No Space for Hate”, which aimed to promote respect, inclusiveness and accountability throughout the WNBA.

Despite the firm attitude of the league to combat hate speeches by fans, it seems unlikely that the WNBA will examine the controversy around Brittney Griner. The WNBA has not published a explanation in which the Griner situation was recognized, and from now on there is no disciplinary review.
