Riley Gaines weighs in after WNBA declines OutKick's media credential request

Republican Senator Jim Banks explains why Indiana Fever fans deserve an apology after the league’s latest investigation during an appearance on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich." 

Former NCAA swimmer and OutKick contributor Riley Gaines is speaking out after the outlet learned its media credentials request for some WNBA games would not be accommodated.

"A few weeks ago, I made this video highlighting how it appears Brittney Griner said bleep white girl after fouling out in a game against (the) Indiana Fever, the team that Caitlin Clark plays for," Gaines said in a collaborative Instagram post between her verified account and OutKick's official page.

"You can watch and make up your own mind as to what it appears Brittney Griner is saying," Gaines continued. "It's not certain what Griner says (but) there's one way to find out… ask Brittney Griner. However, no one has done that except for OutKick." 

The video in question was not accompanied by any audio, but users on social media have speculated on what the WNBA veteran has said. 

According to OutKick's Dan Zaksheske, the outlet submitted credentials requests for at least two Atlanta Dream games this season. The requests were for the Dream's road game against the Los Angeles Sparks on May 27 and Friday night's game in Connecticut against the Sun. Both asks were declined by the respective teams.
