Overview

  • During a June 15 pregame session, OutKick became the first outlet to ask Griner what she said after fouling out against the Indiana Fever and she said she could not remember her words
  • Later that evening, Griner unequivocally rejected the allegation that she said "f***ing white girl," insisting such language was not in her vocabulary
  • The league has not responded to multiple requests for comment and has not opened an investigation into Griner’s on-court remark
  • Observers remain divided over the viral clip’s audio, with some hearing a racial slur and others interpreting it as a criticism of a refereeing call
  • OutKick won credentials after two teams initially denied access, highlighting a disconnect between the WNBA’s "No Space for Hate" campaign signage and its handling of this allegation
