A video circulating widely on social media appears to show a Seattle Storm fan spitting in the face of an Indiana Fever supporter after the Fever defeated the Storm 105-95 on Tuesday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
The clip, originally posted on TikTok by a user identifying as a Fever fan under the handle @la_rosa_volpe (also referenced as Silly vanilli), carries the caption: “This Seattle Storm fan just spit in my face because the Fever won.” The video includes footage from inside the arena during the game and scenes of fans exiting afterward. Some versions shared on X describe the act as involving water, while the original caption and many reposts characterize it as spitting directed at the Fever fan.
The Indiana Fever improved to 18-10 with the victory, completing a season series sweep of the Storm and extending their winning streak to four games. Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and Kelsey Mitchell added 28 to lead Indiana. The Storm dropped to 6-24.
Seattle Storm fan reportedly spit water at a Fever fan, where is the outrage?
If the roles were reversed, it would be everywhere. @WNBA @seattlestorm should take legal action and it is harrasment pic.twitter.com/vESrL2y58x— Lucy (@Lucy17763471265) July 29, 2026
As of Wednesday morning, neither the WNBA, the Seattle Storm nor the Indiana Fever had issued a public statement on the matter. The video has drawn significant attention among Fever supporters and WNBA followers on X, with users calling for the league and the Storm organization to investigate. Several posts labeled the alleged act as assault or harassment and noted the absence of broader mainstream coverage so far. One post shared the video and tagged WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, urging a response.
Under Washington law, intentionally spitting on another person can be treated as a form of assault, depending on the circumstances, according to legal commentary circulating alongside the video.
The episode has fueled online discussion about fan conduct at WNBA games, particularly those involving the high-profile Fever. Similar incidents of confrontations between opposing fans have drawn scrutiny in previous seasons, though official responses have varied.
