WNBA Star Slams Troll for "Karen" Accusation, Defends Teammate

In a recent incident, WNBA player Sydney Colson of the Indiana Fever lambasted a troll who referred to her and teammate Sophie Cunningham as "Karens" for allegedly complaining since joining the team. The exchange occurred on Saturday, with Colson bemoaning how Kelsey Mitchell, another Fever player, gets "assaulted" on the court but doesn't receive the same foul calls as other players.

Colson even considered having her sister pursue justice for Mitchell through the courts. However, the fan accused Colson, coach Stephanie White, and Cunningham of changing their tune since joining the Fever. Colson swiftly shut down the troll, defending her and her teammates' actions.

The Fever have faced a significant injury crisis this season, losing key players such as Caitlin Clark, Cunningham, and Colson herself, who will miss the rest of the season due to a torn left ACL. This leaves Kelsey Mitchell as the team's go-to player, which likely makes the constant fouls by opposition players on her a major concern.

Despite the notable absences, Mitchell remains unfazed, stating that the team has to "laugh to keep from crying" and that they will "enjoy what [they] can enjoy, but also respect the game." The Indiana Fever currently sit third in the East with a 21-18 record, and it will be interesting to see how they navigate the rest of the season amid the injury crisis.
