WNBA Team Owner Hits Caitlin Clark Fans With Serious Accusation

Renee Montgomery is a former WNBA All-Star who also won the Sixth Woman of the Year award in 2012. The 5-foot-7 guard has two championships under her name and has now transitioned to becoming the vice president and part-owner of the Atlanta Dream.

To say that Montgomery has had a significant impact on the league would be an understatement. This is exactly why when she speaks, people tend to listen.

In a recent episode of her podcast, "Montgomery & Company," the former No. 4 overall pick went on a lengthy tirade attacking a certain segment of Caitlin Clark fans. According to Montgomery, the unacceptable behavior of what she has labeled as "stans" of the Indiana Fever superstar simply has no room in the WNBA.

"This group cannot be a representation of what the WNBA would want in their league," Montgomery started. "This is our league. ... That ain't a representation of us. Y'all not like us. They not like us, okay?"

Montgomery then went on to say that in her mind, there's nothing wrong with fanbases hating on each other. In fact, she believes that this is all part of the intense competition between teams and their respective fans.

At the same time, however, Montgomery is adamant that these so-called Clark stans have crossed a line.

" For instance, a diehard (Atlanta) Falcons fans can hate the (New Orleans) Saints," she said. "But they will be going a bit too far if they created nude AI pictures of Saints players and sent them to the Saints players' families. That's what Caitlin stans have done to Angel Reese.

"... It's okay to be a hater in sports. Hatin' in sports is a part of the game. I like when our fans are so engaged and so passionate that they just don't like the other team. But being racing, sexist and violent with your words, c'mon now. What are we doing? C'mon now. That's not acceptable."

Montgomery made it clear that she has nothing against Clark. In fact, she even stated that she believes the rookie sensation has exceeded the massive expectations everyone had on her before she entered the WNBA. Montgomery's problem lies solely with her out-of-control fans.

"Something sinister is happening online with Caitlin's fanbase and these stans that need to be addressed," she said. "So all I'm saying is, sports hate is okay. It's acceptable. It's actually welcome. We love the passionate fans. But some of y'all, y'all are taking it too far, man. Do better."
