"Gtfoh crying over an animation": Indiana Fever fans defend social media manager over 'nasty' post on DiJonai Carrington

Indiana Fever fans responded to several people trying to bring down their social media manager after posting a play where Aliyah Boston blocked a DiJonai Carrington shot. On Wednesday, the team's X (formerly Twitter) account had posted an animation of the play, which sparked comments from Fever fans.

On the other end, Carrington and Suns fans responded to the tweet, criticizing the person behind that decision and labeling it as 'hate' on the 2024 WNBA Most Improved Player of the Year. A verbal war started on social media, with Indiana fans defending the decision and the person behind it.

"Fu***ng crybabies, ain’t shit weird. It was an actual play and the fever is posting it, and the SUNS have done the same. It’s not weird behavior like DC be on or you be on. Gtfoh crying over an animation," one fan wrote.

"Can’t call an entire fanbase nasty and expect them to be all smiles with you😭," another fan said, referring to comments made about Fever fans.

"Why would Fever fans dislike someone who implied they are all racist 🤔," one fan questioned.

Others mocked the reaction these fans had and even celebrated the Indiana Fever's social media manager for posting the animation.

"they mad about this 😂," one fan joked.
