Racism is seen everywhere in America these days, even with a WNBA team trying to return from a road game. This was the case for the Washington Mystics as they were flying back to DC from an 88-83 defeat to the Lynx in Minneapolis.
Mystics Guard Kristi Toliver was in her seat on the flight back and caught a text message conversation that a man was having with someone next to her. The man sent “Sitting between two Mystic players. Must’ve played Minny last night. All black team, of course.”
Toliver then took to Instagram to post his message and air out his racism and ignorance. Toliver then requested a seat change as she refused to sit next to a person like him. She concluded the post by saying “If you do nothing with your week, please be kind and nonjudgemental.
