Our Reading
The habit of apologizing gets a new name.
Celeste Keaton’s outburst was a moment of “inclusive environment” failure. The WNBA’s response was swift, but the real question is, what’s the protocol for dealing with co-owners who can’t handle teenage fans? The Storm’s apology was standard, but will they actually create a safer space for all fans? The answer remains to be seen.
And, of course, the real takeaway is that you can get suspended for cursing out teenagers, but the real challenge is not getting canceled.
