Well, the narrative has officially been changed. Well done, WNBA<\/a>. Well done, Alyssa Thomas.<\/p>\n

Well done, Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White.<\/p>\n

One day after Alyssa Thomas played the predictable victim card \u2014 saying she’s received death threats<\/a> over the incident with Clark \u2014 White further fueled that narrative during her opening statement to the media on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

SUSPENDED ALYSSA THOMAS RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM TEAMMATE & COACH AFTER CHEAP SHOT ON CAITLIN CLARK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And by “statement,” I mean a three-minute lecture on how racist and homophobic people are being towards Thomas, and the WNBA.<\/p>\n

That’s right. Nothing on Clark. Nothing on the non-call. Nothing on the league’s refusal to do anything <\/i>about these incidents.<\/p>\n

A statement, from the opposing team’s coach, about inclusivity.<\/p>\n

Amazing.<\/p>\n

“Before we start with questions I just want to address what is going on with AT,” she said, referring to Thomas. “It’s absolutely unacceptable. As a league, as a whole, there’s been so much more toxicity, racism, homophobia. Straight out nonsense. Hate-nonsense. It’s absolutely unacceptable. Most of this coming from the online community.<\/p>\n

MERCURY COACH CLAIMS ALYSSA THOMAS SUSPENSION WAS BASED ON ‘SOCIAL MEDIA SCREENSHOTS’ AFTER CAITLIN CLARK FOUL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Most of this, in my heart of hearts, I believe, not coming from WNBA fans, Indiana Fever fans, I believe it’s coming from people using our league, using our players to further divisive agendas. It’s not acceptable.”<\/p>\n

Goodness, gracious. Like I said, the story has completely changed. And it’s so predictable.<\/p>\n

This was always the path forward, right? Lord knows the WNBA couldn’t allow the Caitlin Clark<\/a> empathy to continue on for much longer. Nope. If the last few days have taught us anything, it’s that we <\/i>are the problem. The fans. The media. Not Alyssa Thomas. Not the refs. Not the WNBA turning a blind eye.<\/p>\n

Us.<\/p>\n

Or, as White put it, the “online community.”<\/p>\n

So, trolls. Internet trolls. That’s what Alyssa Thomas and Stephanie White are focused on. Keyboard warriors who mean nothing, <\/i>and have been around since the dawn of social media, are now the focus.<\/p>\n

“It’s crazy, you know, playing the game, being suspended, just the whole narrative that’s being painted out there,” Thomas said earlier this week. “It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this over basketball. A lot of us, myself included, didn’t even know the play took place until after the game and now we’re being painted as thugs.<\/p>\n

“And death threats out on us, so it’s really unacceptable. It is something that needs to change in this league, and I’m just really sick and tired of it.”<\/p>\n

Give me a break. Internet trolls are a dime a dozen. Social media is a toxic place. I get it. I hate it. But playing the victim card and acting like the WNBA is the only place that deals with this behavior is absurd.<\/p>\n

It’s also, unfortunately, so predictable.<\/p>\n

This was always<\/i> where this <\/i>story was going to go. First Alyssa Thomas puts it out there. Then, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert dusts off the boilerplate statement that every league has saved on their computer:<\/p>\n

“The WNBA vehemently condemns any and all forms of hate.”<\/p>\n

Right on cue, she put that out yesterday evening. And now today, Indiana head coach Stephanie White opens up her presser with a lecture on how America is racist and homophobic.<\/p>\n

Perfect. Right on schedule.<\/p>\n

Don’t be surprised if we get an apology from Caitlin Clark next. Spoiler alert: That’s how this movie always<\/i> ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
