Renee Montgomery, a former WNBA All-Star and the 2012 Sixth Woman of the Year, has left a lasting mark on the league. Standing at 5-foot-7, the two-time champion has transitioned into a leadership role as vice president and part-owner of the Atlanta Dream, continuing to shape the future of women’s basketball.<\/p>\n

Given her influential presence, Montgomery’s voice carries weight, and when she speaks, people listen. On a recent episode of her podcast, *Montgomery & Company*, the former No. 4 overall pick launched a passionate critique aimed at a certain group of Caitlin Clark fans. According to Montgomery, the inappropriate actions of some “stans” of the Indiana Fever star are completely unacceptable in the WNBA.<\/p>\n

“This group cannot be a representation of what the WNBA would want in their league,” Montgomery asserted. “This is our league… That ain\u2019t a representation of us. Y\u2019all not like us. They not like us, okay?”<\/p>\n

Former WNBA player Renee Montgomery arrives on the red carpet before the 2023 ESPYS.<\/em><\/p>\n

Montgomery expressed that, in her view, there\u2019s nothing inherently wrong with fanbases disliking one another. In fact, she sees it as a natural part of the intense rivalry between teams and their fans.<\/p>\n

However, she made it clear that certain Caitlin Clark supporters, or “stans,” have crossed a line.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cFor example, a hardcore Atlanta Falcons fan might despise the New Orleans Saints,” Montgomery explained. “But it\u2019s way too far if they were to create inappropriate AI-generated images of Saints players and send them to their families. That\u2019s exactly what some Clark stans have done to Angel Reese.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, “It\u2019s fine to have a bit of hate in sports\u2014that\u2019s part of the fun. I love when our fans are so passionate that they just can\u2019t stand the other team. But when it turns racist, sexist, or violent, we have to ask ourselves, what are we doing? That\u2019s just unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
