Indiana senator calls on WNBA, Fever to apologize to fans after accusations of racism: ‘So demeaning'
U.S. Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., called on the WNBA and the Indiana Fever to apologize to Fever fans after the league's investigation failed to find evidence that corroborated allegations of racial comments directed at Angel Reese during a recent game. The league investigated the allegations involving the Chicago Sky star last month after a May 17 game hosted by the Fever. "Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated [the report,]" the league said in a statement. "The WNBA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for everyone and will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our fan code of conduct." The Sky and the Fever released statements after the league's investigation, but Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Banks believes all parties involved – especially the Fever – owe fans an apology. "(Reese) accused the Indiana Fever fan base of being racists. They investigated it. They said those accusations were false. The least that she could do is apologize to our great state and the fans that show up at these games and say, 'I'm sorry, I was wrong.' Obviously, she's not going to do that," Banks said Tuesday during an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich." "Those are awful accusations. They weren't true. The fans weren't shouting racial slurs towards Angel Reese or opposing players. I mean, where is Caitlin Clark? Where is the Indiana Fever? Where is the WNBA saying that that investigation – there shouldn't have been an investigation. The allegations were false. Where's the apology? It's disappointing." It is unclear whether Reese notified the WNBA to prompt the investigation. Sky head coach Tyler Marsh found out about the reports "when everyone else did." However, Reese has said in the past that Fever and Iowa fans have been racist toward her. "It's so demeaning to our state and to the fan base to go through something like that. The least they can do is apologize to the fans," Banks added. "That's the kind of garbage that gets thrown around all the time." Before the start of the 2025 season, the WNBA launched No Space for Hate, described as "a multi-dimensional platform designed to combat hate and promote respect across all WNBA spaces." The initiative includes "unified messaging" during games and through social media content and the use of AI-powered technology to monitor social media activity.

Minnesota lawmakers continue to finish work behind the scenes, layoff notices go to most state workers soon if they don't pass budget
Minnesota lawmakers continued their behind-the-scenes work on Tuesday as they eye a partial government shutdown next month if they don't complete the next two-year state budget by July 1. Most state employees will receive layoff notices next Monday if a special session approving those spending plans isn't over by then, Gov. Tim Walz's office said. Walz won't officially call lawmakers back to the capitol until all of the remaining bills are ready to go. Lawmakers have been in mostly private meetings to make that happen, finding agreement and then sending it to the revisor's office for drafting. Key lawmakers have been meeting in "working groups" since the May 20, after the regular session ended, to sort out the details of each unifinished bill. Some broader agreements and actual proposals are posted on the Legislature's website, including a K-12 spending package. If they don't complete their work by the deadline at the end of the month, state services and programs would only partially shut down because some parts of the budget did pass before adjournment last month, including funding for the courts, attorney general's office, and agriculture and veterans departments. State workers in those agencies would be held harmless. The last time there was a government shutdown was in 2011. Four years ago in 2021, lawmakers in a divided capitol narrowly avoided one, passing the remaining parts of the budget June 30 during a special session. DFL Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy told WCCO Sunday she hopes there will be a special session this week, but legislative leaders and key negotiators have blown past other self-imposed deadlines the last few weeks. What's unclear is how the Legislature will approve a part of a budget deal between legislative leaders and the governor that would remove undocumented immigrant adults from a state program providing health care coverage, which is sparking outcry among several DFL lawmakers. Murphy has said it needs to be a stand-alone bill, while GOP House Speaker Lisa Demuth wants it to be part of a broader health package.
