Fever coach: Divisiveness ‘will not win’

Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White is pushing back on critics of the WNBA and discourse around the league about cultural issues like race and gender.

“The hate, the fearmongering, the divisiveness that’s trying to hijack our league will not win. It won’t win,” White told the media on Tuesday. “We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their ass on the line. Every day when they go low, we go high. Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win and kindness will win. I stand by them, I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell.”

White’s comments come as the WNBA is increasingly under scrutiny from conservatives over its social justice initiatives and eligibility........
