Chicago Sky players claim they were harassed by a man with a camera at their hotel.
Ahead of their game against the Washington Mystics on Thursday night, the Chicago Sky team was faced with a disturbing incident. As they arrived at their hotel in Washington, D.C., a man approached them with a camera and began harassing them. It was reported that the man had targeted Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who has been under a lot of scrutiny after a foul she made against Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark during a game on June 1st. Fortunately, the Sky's team security was quick to intervene and escort the man away from the players.

Naturally, the Sky players were shocked and outraged by this encounter, and some of them took to their personal social media accounts to express their disbelief. Rookie forward Angel Reese, who had been fined $1,000 for her involvement in the Carter-Clark incident, described the man's behavior as "NASTY WORK." She recounted how he had put his camera in her teammates' faces as they were getting off the bus, and she called for this type of behavior to stop.

Michaela Onyenwere, another Sky player, also spoke out about the incident, stating that this is where the line needs to be drawn. She expressed her frustration with so-called "fans" who have no respect for boundaries. Isabelle Harrison, on the other hand, thanked God for the team's security, as they were unable to even step off the bus due to the harassment.

Meanwhile, Brianna Turner, who was not present at the time, questioned how the idea of "growing the game" could be interpreted as harassing players at their hotels. She emphasized that this type of behavior is not acceptable and urged people to consider how they would feel if it happened to someone they knew.

The controversy surrounding Carter's foul against Clark continues to gather attention, with many people coming to Clark's defense. Indiana Congressman Jim Banks even sent a letter to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, condemning Carter's actions and calling for disciplinary measures to be taken against her and the Sky as a whole. He criticized Reese for cheering on the foul and claimed that it was a disservice to Clark, the Indiana Fever, and aspiring young WNBA players.

It is clear that this incident has sparked a heated debate and shed light on the issue of player harassment in the WNBA. As the league continues to grow and gain popularity, it is important for fans to remember to respect the players and their boundaries, both on and off the court.
